Title: I'm leaving from staff
Post by: Silver Shadow on September 13, 2010, 12:39:29 am
For various reasons, such as lack of time and inspiration, I lately stopped programming calcs, therefore no longer meeting the requirements to remain as staff. However, I will still remain on the forum, as it is a great community with tons of projects I'm interested in. I hope you understand.

I'm sorry to hear :(. Do you still do non-calc stuff you could share, though, such as PC projects or other kind of games? If so, you may be able to return to staff in the future if you remained active. I hope you stick around on the forums in the future, though and regain motivation to work on calc stuff.

That's a little saddening, but, as everyone else has said, I'm glad you're staying.  Good luck Silver Shadow! :)

Yeah I noticed lately, although to be honest, I am not surprised, considering every September/October this happens. In Sept 2005 we lost one of our most active non-staff user who was working on a great 68K BASIC RPG, then in Sept 2006, we lost five staff member in one month (3 of which left in a matter of a week), in Sept 2007 we booted a bunch due to inactivity and we almost lost Netham45, in Sept 2008, when we reopened after being gone for half a year, one staff that was supposed to come back never did and another who got added that month went inactive immediately, in September 2009 we lost quite a bit of staff and even ended up with 7 staff remaining (and almost lost the #omnimaga channel due to lack of +o/operator users) and now this year we lost Mapar, Silver and jsj795, although jsj remains active around here. Hence why I always post staff application reminders around September.

January seems to be another time for losing staff, too x.x. Sad thing is that often the new school year gets too hectic or the user have lost interest towards calcs over the Summer.

I hope I can get more active after a while :( I didn't realize my exams would come this fast.

22/23 sept: French, oral & written exam.
20/27 oct: Mathematics A, Advanced Mathematics A 1
Somewhere in December: CAE: Certificate of Advanced English (British Council)

The next bunch is in March and April, and the last two months of the school year will probably be quiet.

It is sad to see you leave, Silver Shadow.  I am happy you will remain on the board still, though!
