An evil overlord steps down, another evil overlord steps up to take his place. But now the previous evil overlord can work on speedruns again. It all works out in the end.
You know it was funny. I was thinking to myself the other day "I'm one of the only people on the site who has seemed to stay around, oh except Mike Uyama"
it was just kinda funny timing. Anyway, Mike I really appreciate what you've done. It won't be the same without you as a mod. heh
Just wanted to say that I agree completely with all the positive things said in this thread. While I've never been a very active member, I joined SDA a little while before Radix retired and seeing how much it's changed since then...
Amazing work, Mike, and everyone else who has worked to make this site what it is today.
Wow, this is a surprise. I hope you spend your free time wisely, you'll always be in our hearts. ^_^
I'm looking forward to the new runs that've been posted/will be posted, and even runs that haven't even been planned yet (like La-Mulana for Wiiware). Keep up the good work, everyone!
Mike thanks for all your hard work for all these years without you a lot of the stuff never would have been possible. Plus with your charisma and dedication I don't think any of the marathons would have happened nor how enjoyable they have been to watch. My hat's off to you for an incredible job well done and I can't wait to see more awesome Uyama runs in the future
aw, i didn't realize you were relinquishing so much responsibility til reading the front page today, mike. i should lurk on the other boards more often.
just want to let you know you've done an excellent job with all you did for the site in your tenure.
I very much respect this decision. Good on you, Mike. You definitely need and deserve more free time after all the hard work you put into this place. Thanks for everything you've done around here, and on a more personal note, thanks a lot for walking scurty and I through the entire process of getting our run posted (you too, nate, and whomever else may have had a hand in it, of course ^_^). It's much appreciated. See you around.
As everyone else before me, Thanks for all your hard work, you deserve the time off... Just be sure to check in regularly for we will miss you if you are gone for too long...
Wow, this is the end of an era. Mike has done more for us than anyone could ask for, and I have never seen one negative post or PM from him. And I see very good news in the, well, news ... mikwuyma isn't leaving the site
I would be extremely proud if I were ever a member of this staff, even if it only lasted a short time. (I am not very dedicated at anything I attempt so I wouldn't be a good choice to be a staff member anywhere, heh.) Every SDA staff member I've had dealings with has been unspeakably awesome.
Anyway, I welcome all our new overlords! And yes, if this means we get new mikwuyma speedruns then this is not all for the worse
