"It's time for a change, let's retire aggressively."

Thank you for all the hard work you've put in for this site!

Now get back to running Contra III Smiley

When I saw the thread title in the list of recent posts, I said to myself, "Either Mike is stepping down or HILARIOUS TROLL."

...I don't know where I was going with that.

Honestly, I have no concept of how much work goes on behind the scenes at this site, but I imagine it must be Herculean. Thank you, Mike, for shouldering so much work for so long.

Along with what everybody has said Mike, thank you for everything. If you hadn't of helped me when I started with X=Men, I probably would have given up all together. You've been inspirational to a lot of people.

But I will also echo the sentiment that you better start submitting more now. Wink

Sunset Riiiiiderrrrrssss...

You've been a good admin and a good speedrunner. If you're dropping one, get better at the other Grin

Well, thank you for your time and all that stuff.

At least now you'll have the time to do even more speedruns for the site :))

I can't believe you'd do this to me Mike! I HATE YOU, I HOPE YOU ROT WITH THE REST OF UYAMASTAN!!

All joking aside, I welcome our new overlords. Cheesy

And I want to see a deathless Sunset Riders run on the only difficulty by the end of the year.

Everybody DANCE!

What everyone else said.

But seriously, thank you for all the work you've done for this site over the past five years. I suppose you'll be heading down to Florida to enjoy your retirement.

I just want to echo what everyone has already said: you've done a great job here at SDA and you really helped me feel right at home from the get go. The dictator has fallen, the coup d'etat is complete, and now a New World Or..err...Brave New World is born.

Now it's time to devote your new-found leisure time to speedrunning, woooo! Get 'ir dun!!

that Metroidvania guy

Without you, Mike, the Brightstars and Adam Grises of this world would be littering the site with their runs... which might make the site a lot more hilarious, but definitely less reputable. Big thanks for helping bring actual standards to SDA runs and for continuing to work on charity fundraisers. Good shit.

I might not be around in the future to see how Flip, moooh, and Vorpal manage to f up the site, but I hope you guys have fun doing so. Wink

jk, congrats

Thanks for the years, Mike! Now you finally have some time to save precious frames in your runs, which obviously is the more important thing to do.

Good luck to the new and upgraded staff, I'm sure it will be great!

welcome to the machine

Thanks, everyone. I'll do my best to live up to the support you're all showing.

And mike definitely deserves his break. He'll need to be well-rested when he tackles sub-terrania.
