Hey guys,
I’ll keep this short … I know this is coming at a very bad time with the forum merge and all, but I’ve found that I’m unable to keep up with running HeavenGames behind the scenes, with my new job and working with SkillsUSA on the side. At the same time I’d also like start enjoying life in general, rather than spending all my time in front my computer.
Thus, it’s time for me to part ways with HeavenGames and move on. I’ve been with HeavenGames for almost 6 years now, and I’ve learned a lot from running the site doing different tasks over the years, as a content writer, event photographer, graphics / web designer, programmer, forum administrator, server administrator, Director of Operations, and Chief Technology Officer. The experience I’ve gained is invaluable, and I’d like to thank Omnivac, Vidguy, and Hamlet for giving me this wonderful opportunity when I first joined HG in 1998.
My many thanks to the staff – past and present – for making HG what it is today – a vibrant community with the latest news and information about games we love to play. Special thanks to Spineman for sticking with me throughout the years, especially holding on during the years when the “dot com” bubble burst; to Jayhawk and GillB for sharing in the often insane task of trying to manage the staff, the moderation staff, and for setting and enforcing policy on the forums; to Steve, Graham, and Lila for giving words of encouragement at times when HG doesn’t seem worth my time; to Jason, Chris, Dimitrios, Sergio, MeatLoafX, and the AOKH:KORT/OT/OD moderation gang for keeping things fun – thanks for the 409; and last but not least – to all the seraphs for all their patience throughout the years.
So, it is with sadness and happiness that I bid you all farewell. Don’t be a stranger.
-Zen
Goodbye Zen...
