Before I begin I need to make it clear than I am not leaving this site, or leaving Mori's Discord server, or retiring from Joke Battles. So please do not worry or say good bye to me. I'm not actually going anywhere.
But with that being said, I will be retiring from my bureaucrat position on VS Battles Wiki. To most of you this probably seems like a long time coming. I have been rather inactive for quite a while now. This is due to a variety of factors, such as the pandemic, having to deal with going to university, having a 30+ an hour job and recent family drama I would rather not get into. As such, I have been unable to properly fulfill my duties as a bureaucrat, and decided that it is best to retire rather than continue holding on to a position I cannot uphold. I perhaps should have retired sooner, and I greatly apologize to the community for at times neglecting my responsibility.
I also need to thank this community from the bottom of my heart. I first joined when I was a sophomore in high school, and now I am entering my third year of college. So it is no exaggeration to say that this site has been a major part of my life. Throughout my years here I have made too many wonderful friends to list and countless hours of fun and joy. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world of online interaction and exposed me to so many great media franchises that have forever changed my life. It has given me a sense of purpose and accomplishment as I'd invest so much of my time, heart and passion into helping the community grow into what it has been today.
My promotion to bureaucrat 5 years ago is still a memory that I cherish deeply. Due to a depression I had dealing with my parent's drug addiction, I fell behind on my studies, slacked on my work out routine and failed some of my classes while seeing all my friends achieve such great things whereas I had nothing. The achievement of being promoted as a bureaucrat helped me feel better and realized that I wasn't a complete failure. It helped give me the motivation to take my life seriously again, and I was able to graduate my last year of high school with straight As, get in better shape than ever before and go on to complete a 2 year degree with a 3.6 GPA. Now I'm now pursuing even higher education that I can financially afford thanks to my job. With all the incredibly rough times I had been dealing with, having this community to fall back on for a little bit of fun and support is something I couldn't make it without.
With so much this bureaucrat position means to me it breaks my heart that I have to retire it. But it is truly what is best for the site. And with everything this site has done for me, I owe it nothing short of the best. So again I must apologize for my inactivity and sudden departure.
As I mentioned early, I am NOT leaving this website or the VS server. There is no way I can leave this community or the incredible people I've befriended along the way. And powerscaling as a hobby is just WAY too much fun for me to ever give up. My close friends here will always be able to contact me the same way they have been before. I'm also not retiring my position from Joke Battles, since that site takes nowhere even remotely close to as much time to manage and it's easier for me to oversee since I know some of the admins in real life.
So with that being said it has been an absolute honor and privilege to be a bureaucrat for this amazing site and its community. Anything I have done to help this site has been exceeded at least tenfold by the way this site has helped me. So for that I am forever grateful. Everyone here should know that they have the power to make such an impact on someone else's life without even knowing it. Thank you all and I wish you the best moving forward without me as a bureaucrat. Take care everyone
