Alright fellas, it's been a loooong ride. Some of you may like me, many more of you dislike me, but that's nobodies fault but my own and that's not why I'm doing this.

It's tough to find time to spend on the internet for me anymore. Growing up is rough, I'm (only) 20, but I'm working a 9-5 as a co op for this semester and going to school at Penn State and finishing up next year. I've got a lot of things on my plate, and not enough time to sit around and post anymore.

It's been fun over the years for the most part, and for as much shit as I have given CC, the sim league is the biggest reason I've stuck around for the past year or two. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to keep up with my teams as much as I should and I'd rather somebody else take over and continue what I've started.

As far as the rest of the site, to be honest, it kind of seemed to get really boring for me. I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong places, or maybe it just isn't for me anymore, but there seemed to be too much change for me. Hey, I'm not asking for any changes because I'm going either way, but just bringing some stuff up to the attention of well... whoever is in charge here nowadays.

I'd give shoutouts, but to be honest I don't even know who is around here anymore. For those of you who I didn't manage to piss off too much, thanks for that. To the rest, thanks as well. It was probably more fun getting in dumb arguments than it was anything else, and I hope that the staff doesn't get too anal about fights. Seems to me like everyone does a whole lot of bitching about people baiting and crap... Hey, it's fun. If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.

My last words of wisdom I suppose would be for everyone to go outside, further yourself academically, professionally, etc. You only have so much time on the earth, so do what you can to enjoy it and make things easier for yourself in the future. Thank you all once again. Realistically, I'll still pop in to make a sarcastic comment here and there, but I think it's time to say goodbye.

Sucks to see another SI great, leave. I don't recall ever having a problem with you, I liked your insight on most things on this forum, you were always real about things whether others liked it or not. Hate to see you go, I hope things continue to go well for you, hopefully you will get some time and interest again so we can see you back here. Hate seeing all of the long-time core members leave because that's what keeps the SI tradition going, but it's expected. People grow up and go on with their life so I understand. Best of luck going forward!

its going to be weird not having that one person. who never had an issue with speaking their mind in an unbiased way. i hope you the best. im sure youll find time every now and then to pop in, and i hope that happens. until then, stay cool eric.

I hope everything works out for you in your co op and your education. You had a very insightful opinion on a lot of topics and I valued that. You should still stop by here and there when you have the time.

Sad to see ya go but I'm not surprised since I know you have a lot on your plate now.

And well put at the end. Couldn't have said it better if I tried. Good luck in your travels and hopefully you find the time to pop in from time to time.

You've been a great piece of the SI family. Even though we didn't really know each other that well, I never had a problem with you, and I knew you weren't one to shy away from speaking your mind, no matter the subject.

I hope that your education and your co op goes well for you, and you will be missed. Be looking forward to you popping in once in awhile to make those sarcastic comments.

Good luck with everything man. I've always had mad respect for you.

I feel like I might be joining in the "retirement" group here pretty soon.
