Stepping away from PR2 development

[Mia]

I'll be honest, I didn't really know you too well until Acid Forums shut down. I had over 350,000 posts over there, just because I loved chatting with people and having that sense of belonging. That community meant a lot to me, and when it shut down, it tore me up a bit. I still think about it on occasion, since it was a big part of my life for a few years.

I was aware of this community at the time it shut down, but it was difficult transitioning to this one after having all of my posts essentially nuked. I even remember certain people on Acid Forums making you out to seem like a bad guy for "taking over Jiggmin's game" and I'll admit, I got sucked into it a bit too. Once I saw all of the great stuff happening in this community, particularly with all the creative ideas and contests, it made me appreciate what you were doing.

When I saw how much you and others were giving back to the community, it inspired me to host a contest of my own. I still really appreciate that tool you coded for me to randomly generate points for the RNG F@H Contest. I had a blast hosting that (and I quite enjoyed the commentary from @TRUC). You also inspired me to get back into PR2 again. It was a joy to come up with those ideas for PR2, and I got excited seeing you add them in! Seeing my own ideas in my childhood game was really cool. Now, admittedly, I'm not as active here as much as I used to be, I do still lurk and see what people are up to. I still really care about this community, and the people in it. I'm just glad that this place and PR2 are still around, cause it feels like a piece of my childhood gets to live on.

Thank you for everything you put into this community, and for continuing Jiggmin's legacy.
