Resignation!

Supervisor · Post by **Supervisor** » Sun Jun 15, 2003 11:54 pm

I have officially offered my letter of resignation. I have requested removal of moderation duties and beta team testing along with account deletion.

I am struggling through a very difficult time in my life battling manic depression and anxiety disorder that 6 months of treatment and medication aren't curing. This has nothing to do with MatrixGames or anyone associated within it. I'm severing ties to all gaming agencies and beta groups I have been associated with. I can't even find the heart and will to get out of bed anymore never the less enjoy video games. I have struggled over this decision for quite some time before making it final.

I wish all of you the best of luck in all of your ventures. May God be with you all.

I concur with M4, take some time off. Your one of those SPWAW gods that should be celebrated, and toasted at fancey dinners. All the time and effort that you and your fellow moderators and testers have put in can never be repaid but IMHO is greatly appreciated by all. I know it is by me.

Hi Guys

Need I say I am shocked as well. I ask that you do not put any presure on Mike and I will talk with him and maybe just give him a break.

Mike please send me an email, and lets have a quick talk. Let me say that we are all extended family here and losing any of us is a loss to all.

Let me say that we need you and you been a good and faithful leader to this group.

Gmenfan!

Take Jess' advice and I hope that you will find your way back to this family. You will be sorely missed.

Here's wishing you the best!

Farewell for now, gmenfan. For what it's worth: I know a little how you feel and you have my best wishes.

Get well soon!

Hey Mike!

I can't say I'm totally surprised. You've been working beyond belief here on the site and involved in so many other things.

Take from a guy who has lived a little longer, been through exactly what you've been through, coupled with a very painful divorce, some areas of failing health and some other complications, you can make it.

I'll be dropping you a note. Not to disturb you but to let you know I'm here for you.

My heart is with you my friend.

Mike,

There comes a time when you must do whatever necessary to take care of yourself and your interests.

You will indeed be sorely missed by the community and I wish you all the best.

Thanks for all you did for us here...and when you're ready maybe drop us an email to let us know how you are doing. As part of the Virtual BoB...you never leave completely...you are just taking on a different assignment. Take care my friend.

Mike,
I sent a PM. If you have a question, or just need an ear, don't hesitate. I hope you're back to 100% real soon.

One day at a time........one breath every second........

Concentrate on all the goods that life has to offer and beleive in it........
This is not a "Good Bye"

It's a "See ya later"..

Do what's best for you, of course. With the rest of life often a royal pain wargaming is where I come for fun, relaxation, and stimulation. But I get to be compulsive about things and next thing you know my "hobby" is all task driven and tme pressured...Take a break! No one deserves it more. Just remember your always a Matrix man and a RAIDER is a Raider forever!
