So... I felt the need to post this here mostly because there are a few things I want to say before I go and I know anyone from PB2 can read this post here.
As some of you may know, tomorrow is my 18th birthday, which is my date of retirement. Since I became active from last summer, I set this as the day I would leave mostly because I knew college wouldn't give me anymore air to breathe during my free time if I was going to take my education seriously. No, I did not leave because I "gave up on the community" or what-not; being in this community has taught me a lot more than I can repay.
From 2014 to now, it's safe to say that the community here is diverse enough in thought to really change the way I viewed things. I'm glad to have met many people here and have amazing discussions with them and am honored to see such people contributing to ideas I laid out, especially regarding the Revivalist Project. Many of you guys gave me a lot of hope and showed how the strength of a community bound together can really change things for the better.
I know many of you are wondering about the Revivalist Project and what will come out of it when I leave. The undeniable truth at this point is that the Revivalist Project did not succeed at its goals. I do not put the blame on anyone in the community other than myself; many of you have contributed and did your best in your spare time to see how you yourselves could help. My own planning is what had failed and I truly apologize to those of you who have put whatever you could into the movement. I am grateful for you all for at least trying and won't deny the fact that the community stood up when it had too, albeit it was too little too late. Whatever comes out of this Project is ultimately in the hands of you all, the community, as it was a fully community-oriented effort.
Ultimately, I just want to say thanks for everything guys, from the Staff that moderated this place to the common user brave enough to speak out their thoughts. Myself personally, I've already landed a college alongside an honors program I'm going to have to take seriously for the sake of myself and my family. It really was an amazing year being here and I don't regret any second of it. I may come back in 2.5, but I doubt I'll ever be as active as I was before. For myself, it's time to move on.
Take care ya'll.
