And as with everything else, I'm a week late with this. It is sorta hard to know where to begin - Id like to be blunt, but somehow being tacky almost seems more fun. So lets try that, shall we?
For a quick backstory for those who dont know who I am, I came here after being an administrator at a site called Pokézam, where the sorta number-two guy arranged that our forum merge into this forum sometime around February 2010, or something like that. I got to be the admin at first, which was nice. The truth is, at the time I had considered leaving the site entirely for other interests - Pokémon, while I still love the games, does get a bit old after a while (especially with so many other great things). However, when everything else occured I decided against it (for the time) and came here. It was nice at first, but the staff is more than a little drama-filled. Its somewhat (or equally [or more {or entirely}]) my own fault for always wanting to push buttons, but why else are they there if were not supposed to push them?!
Well, anyway, I created some cool things at different intervals, the big ones VictoryDex and VictoryBattles. More recently I tried something less-Pokémony and actually quite enjoyed it. That, of-course, being FreezeMessenger. However, at the same time, Ive lost pretty much all interest in the other things Ive done. Its kinda sad, really, but theres not much more to it. VictoryBattles, which was doing quite well, simply wont be able to see its deserved attention from me, and the same seems to apply to VictoryDex. Though, if I do decide to tinker, I'll let you all know. I may have some future development, we'll see.
Of course, Ive done cold turkey before and its kinda annoying. And, really, its not that I hate Victory Road or the I hate Cat333Pokémon or that I hate Pokémon or that I hate the Internet (in fact, much to the contrary on all four), but Im no longer happy working for any of them (though, the Internet is still a pretty fun playground+wreckingball). Thus I will still post, perhaps much more often now, but thats all Ill likely be doing in the any too near of future. Whatever the powers that the powers that be see fit to give me Im frankly fine with (that is, Im happy remaining a supermod as I post here today as and happy as nothing), and the same applies to all server related maintenance, but like I said, thats up to the guys upstairs, and I have no interest in anything of responsibility.
At any rate, development for pretty much everything major I do for this site is out, except for small things that friends here would like me to do (such as the VRGL), but at the moment I do not have permission to do such things (and haven't for a few months), and I'm really not interested parading around demanding them. As for FreezeMessenger, I will not too long after posting this (a week or two at the most) release version 3, and allow the guy in charge of the red switch to install it if he so likes. However, it may not be totally backwards compatible with version 2, so I guess Id be more than happy to install it for him if he comes to me in a dream asking me to. Likewise, I may eventually craft up a version 4 - Ive already received a couple of suggestions and people who have more are welcome to tell me.
And so, you are more than free to get a hold of me if you have any questions. At this point most of what I code will be findable at my temporary development site (which may be broken at the moment...) and in my signature, which will include the public version of FreezeMessenger if you want to run a chat of your own. If Im allowed to, Ill probably post a more detailed advertisement of it somewhere on the forum, and if not it should be in my signature and elsewhere.
Finally, I truly must thank all of those who have made this a pleasurable experience, and certainly must say its been enjoyable here on the whole. That's not something I can say about most corners of the Internet
.
Thanks to You All,
FreezeWarp

WHAT?!
Alright, now that freaking out is over with, firstly, all the subtle jokes in this post were really amusing (See Sliced Bread, Merlon, Tingle, etc.) I can understand your perspective in terms of work, it can be kinds of tedious, especially with everything you work on. Glad to hear you'll still be on the forum, though, since you make it more awesome with just your presence xD
Good luck with whatever you plan on doing (Such as beating Majora's Mask-if you could post Youtube videos on your progress that'd be cool too). See you around, then. ![]()
(Also note that regardless of this resignation, your character in that psuedo-manga series I'm making is still going to hold one of the highest position and keep his powers, etc., though I may reference this resignation with a plot twist at some point if you don't mind xD)
1 – Cat333PokémonFrankly, I've been missing motivation to do things for the forums lately too, but that doesn't mean I will give up soon. I must say, though: it's been a great experience working with you, especially in matters regarding the VRGL. I'm honestly very thankful for everything you did to me, and I wish you the best of luck in your life.
Well, Freeze ol' buddy ol' pal ol' chum, you just kick back and get some well-deserved rest. The forums wouldn't be the same without ya. Don't worry, we'll find someone else to blame for all our lives' problems.
As for your life, I'm sure you'll get somewhere. Get a wife, have some kids; Maybe even work high-up in some famous company. Maybe start your own. You have our support.
5 – LucarioQueen, FreezeWarp, Shiny, Shadow, RK-9I even made a commemorative LtIM's PLL for you, ICEE.
Good luck in whatever future endeavors you pursue.
FreezeMessenger is awesome. And I'm not just saying that because the mobile mode is named after me. It really is awesome.
Y U LEAVAN MAN D:

6 – Aquablast, randoguy101, FreezeWarp, RK-9, Kirby-Chan, LucarioMarioThere is one thing that came good out of this: We now have a nice scandal to sell to the tabloids, boosting our publicity tenfold.
