I'm online again but this is goodbye

Post by Rodan »

It's been awhile but I've finally gotten my computer back up after finally receiving the new power supply. I don't know what has been happening but I wanted first to put back up the map 2 file on my server. It's back at it's old llocation.

But this is one of the hardest things I have to do. It's time for me to say faarewell. For quite awhile I have had no time for the project. Too many things are happing in real life for me and I barely have the time to be on the computer much less on the net. I've become an uncle again, I was promoted to full time at my job, and I am still working on the new room that I recently moved into plus a lot more. Things are looking good and while I wish I could keep up with TR there no longer is a way for me to do so.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the times I have had with the members here and working with building Black Light and other parts for the project I will always look with fondness. Being an administrator allowed me to give other members my knowledge and always made me feel great when parts of the continent were finished. But you need a core that can be there all the time, not with the hours I have to keep now. The project will move forward without me and I know it will do well.

If you ever need to talk to me or have a question to ask just send me an E-Mail, not a PM. That way you'll get an answer much quicker.

To the core, my final act will be to update the maps and upload the map files for someone to update afterwards. IUnless done so already, I wish my status to be changed to 'Honorary Member'. I whish you all the best!

Sincerely,

Rodan

You made the project what it is today, an infinite number of mods and admins would be hard pressed to run the project half as well as you did in the hay days. have a look at your PMs before you go. Bye

So long Rodan. I wish you good luck in all your endeavours. Your contributions to TR will always be remembered, your capability sorely missed.

Fare thee well.

Even though we didn't always see eye-to-eye when we were both admins, you were one of the people who kept this little shindig going all these years. Farewell and good luck with everything.

You will be missed, rodan. If it weren't for you, TR would be a passing memory by a select few; and we owe you LOTS for this.
May you always walk on warm sands. :)

Also, as to who will take your place, I'm assuming yinnie will?

Namarie, Rodan. You've always been an inspiring figure for both me and, I'd imagine, the whole Project. You'll be remembered.

Have fun in real life,

I'm honored to have known you, Rodan. Your place in the hall of heroes, or whatever it'll be, is assured. It took some major administrative abilities to get us through some of the valleys of the past, and you were certainly up to the task. Take your rest, but visit often. We can still use your sage advice.

Good Luck Rodan! :D

I've only been around for just over a year, so I didn't really get to know you well, but I wish you well all the same.

Stop by when you get a chance. :)

Oh ... See you then, Rodan. You were the one who greeted me when I joined in august 2002 ... and you've always been some kind of "uncle", to me ... I wish you the best things in real life.

So long Rodan, you will be truly missed. You have ever strived to keep this project the way it was meant to be; a hobby. You added a sense of heart and unity to the project that will be sorely missed. Good luck in all of your real life endeavors, may the wind be on your back, and have a cold Skyrim mead on me!

Chris-

I am glad to hear about the promotion and the increase in uncle-dom. Congratulations. It has been an honor modding with you. I only hope that one day you'll find the time to kick back and play this Tamriel that you helped create.

wow 3 months late. i know you will never see this but Thanks you Rodan. You gave me a chance in TR when no one would take me seriosly and allowed me to work on Black light. You then had me promoted to reviewr to work on map 1 beta and then had me become a member of the core. I will truly miss you my friend and hope that some day we will meet again. Goodbye.

I said I would return and I may have been right. The past must stay in the past as agreed. If the core needs me or has a job for me just ask for now I watch and write.
