Other Farewell my friends ;)

Raggnar · September 6, 2016

Hey buddies,

It's time for me to say goodbye, atleast as Staff Member. I am not going to transform this topic into a dramatic one so i will try to be as much brief as possible.

For those who don't know me...

My name is Raggnar (and no, sorry to disappoint you but my forum nickname wasn't inspired by Vikings) and i am from Portugal. I joined iOSGods on it's 1st day and i was the lucky 1st iOSGods***** member to join what would be one of the best iOS Forums ever created. Obviously, when i joined iOSGods and saw the crappy logo i never would realize we would reach this dimension. *The logo was terrible, believe me*

However, this forum had always an amazing person behind it, a person with an amazing project, a project with an amazing dream. I am proud to say @DiDA is one of the greatest and most dedicated persons i've found on the internet. This forum has raised due to his dedication and sacrifice. But no more talking about that dude... This topic is about me and you won't get me out of the spotlight

So... I started as a GFX (probably because we had none and i started a topic about "free signatures" for everybody) and believe me or not, people actually enjoyed a lot my siggys. Well, although i was excited to be part of the GFX Team, @DiDA and @FuroowHD decided to surprise me with a direct promotion to Moderator. I couldn't even believe it lool. Wasn't really expecting it and being promoted to Moderator had never even crossed my mind. They gave me an huge vote of trust and for that i've felt compelled to give my best to this community. Some members will agree, others won't. As a Staff it's impossible to meet the expectations of all members...

After the summer of 2015 i felt a little forced to remain active on the forum due to my college and to my work, and all the pressure of studies, work and college parties (?) made my activity at the forum very low and sometimes even non-existent for weeks. I am afraid this year will be the same and i do not think it's fair to keep my ranking when i won't make use of it. It's not correct to my Staff fellows and for the community itself. That's why i asked for demotion, which will occur on September 19. Nobody ever mentioned about my demotion but i am 100% sure it's the right thing to do.

Now, the acknowledgements... You really thought i would miss this?

I won't have time to mention everyone, if you do not appear on this list please do not feel sad with me. I really needed to go to the wc so i made this quick as possible.

] - the main person behind this project. Not only a brilliant admin but also a great person. You trusted me and i trust you, that's how things work among friends. Friend. I know i can use that word for you. Always enjoyed our conversations. Please keep the "Secret Chat " open

] - not active anymore but i still feel that i should share some words. Thank you for trusting me and to help raising the forum. Things were not always so easy and your presence was essencial. Thank you once again.

] - let's be honest. Nobody knows, but i hate you. Basically, i am a Global Moderator for 2 years and i never even had the chance to apply to Administrator and then you appear and you get promoted just in my face! Haha joking! We never talked very much but i respect your work. DiDA is a busy guy and you are his right hand. Thank you for joining us and for all your tireless work!

] - one of the nicest persons on the shoutbox! Always in a good mood. Also one of our oldest ultra-secret moderators. Friendly but Deadly! Do not abuse!

] - one of the best buddies you can find on this forum. A kind person who is always free to help with your questions. His speciality - Lock Topics!

] - we have been Global Moderators for so long! Thank you for the company all this time.

] - your artworks are simply amazing Gogg! Great artist, great ex-staff and a great guy. Don't give up on your skills as an artist.

] - nice person. No longer a staff member but you know what? Yellow is the new black

] - incredibly skilled artist and also a friend. My business partner loooool. I see you in NY bud

] - not expecting to be on this list? This guy has been friendly to me since the day one and you definitely deserve to be mentioned. Thank you for the kindness, for supporting the forum as a VIP and for all the Pokemon Go accounts provided. My brother says thanks you

I probably didn't mentioned people that were actually helpful and somehow left their mark during my stay. Do not think i've missed you guys (but after reading this and you still keep thinking i've should mentioned you, then i probably forgot you and i really apologize... Sometimes i am quite forgetful)

Well, that's it! Thank you guys for reading my brief topic and i see you around. Yes, i will get the "Retired" ranking and i will be lurking around sometimes

Best Regards,

Ragg

***** I know my profile says my user id is 5 but if you keep insisting i was not the 1st member to register on iOSGods then mysterious things might happen to you... You still don't believe me? Ask the other members who supposedly registered before me

Nooooo 1st Remember will remain You are always the best! We'll miss you as a staff!

Amuyea · September 6, 2016

Umm, I'm still a staff But yeah, we barely talked much together.

Forget Retired rank, DiDA should give you special rank like Special

Earthiest · September 6, 2016

Oh, I see. Yes with rainbow colors!

Goggwell · September 6, 2016

You were a mighty fine staff member! I am truly honored to be a part of your Acknowledgements

The Retired rank is awesome, trust me (plus, the color of the rank makes it all the worthwhile), although with all of your achievements, I'd say you deserve more than that.

Good luck to what the future holds, and I hope your future prospects and endeavors are successful! Stay strong my brother
