Stepping down as President/Owner

[Haggard]

This is a sad day for me but is long overdue. It is time for me to step down as well. I have devoted over 4 years of my life to forming and growing the community and really just want to enjoy the friendships I have formed here without exerting myself or worrying about the next big decision or drama. I am leaving the community in good hands with Garfield who is doing his best to promote and expand this community. Let me state this now, this is not good bye as I love this community and still consider SG my baby. I am just tired of changing its diapers. I mean fuck your four years old now use your big boy potties.

 

To be honest, I could have done this a few weeks ago but its hard to let go of something you have ran and loved for so long. I remember in the early days I thought this would be a fun hobby for a few months and maybe if I tried hard I could get a few followers and (1) popular server. Little did I know that over that time I would meet so many amazing people and that the community would flourish. I consider all of you my friends and want to keep those friendships. I have enjoyed the games and conversations I have had with all of you on vent. It really is amazing to be able to talk to people half way around the world and still be able to find something in common. Shit, I never knew I would have so much fun making fun of Brits (fucking islanders). This has been a great experience for me and one I will always cherish.

 

A lot of you don’t know this but I have gone through some hard times in the last 4 years of my life and this community was always my escape from reality and my way of blowing off steam. This was the perfect hobby and distraction for me. Some people have given so much to this community and supported me for so long I don’t know if there are words to show my gratitude. I guess all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I ever needed anything I knew my friends online would be there for me even if it was just some advise or laughter. Some of you I would consider my true friends even though I have never met you in person which is odd because most people I know IRL I would not trust as much as some of my online friends, you guys know who you are.

 

I know this may come as a shock to some of you but it honestly is in the best interest of the community as I no longer have time to run this place. It is time for the second generation of SG to step up and keep this place going. Red and I will be sipping margaritas on the beach while collecting our SG social security checks but be assured we will be checking in on you guys from time to time.

 

Take care of SG for me and I will see you all on vent in the near future. Thank you to everyone who has supported SG.

hagg its been a long time bro. I appreciate all you have offered and extended to me as well as the fun times we have had in the past few years. you are leaving some big shoes to fill for many to step up and fill. Enjoy your "retirement". I will be sucking you into the Dev team soon enough.

 

 

You really didn't think once you got out that we would let you go did you?

I have only had the pleasure of meeting you once haggard, but I have heard so many great things about you. I thank you for setting up an amazing community that people will be able to hopefully enjoy for many many years.
