User blog:CCMurf Punk/A Special Thank You

Hi all

As some of you may know I was an admin here for most of 2012 and almost all of 2013. I've also been here since the early-ish days of the wiki (2011). I have however, not been very involved in the second half of 2013 due to losing interest in NFS World, so I decided to step down as an admin. It was the right thing to do for the wiki, and takes the weight of occasional guilt off my shoulders.

In 2012 I helped us through some difficult times when Kutski and I were alone here and I was traveling 4 hours a day to and from college, while he had no computer and had to come here from libraries. We got through those times with dedication and a love for the game and the wiki. But since Quicklime disappeared, everything changed. I can't speak for others, but for me the love for the game and dedication isn't there anymore. I've seen other games that (in my opinion) seem like they have more than twice as much work put into them than any NFS game, especially this one. Games that have multiple times more content and reliability and don't cost a fortune for collectors.

I have stepped down as admin here and become a more frequent player of some other games including GTA Online (which is a proper winter wonderland today). I will also play The Crew when it comes. I will however, NOT quit NFS World. I don't believe there is such thing as quitting NFSW. It's a game, sometimes you play it, sometimes you don't. Every now and then I may feel like logging in and driving around for a while in some of my favorite cars (some of which I put a lot of effort into (visually)).

Too Long Didn't Read? Fair enough, here's all you need to know. I'd like to thank everyone here for all the good times and lessons learned in the time I've been here. Special thanks of course to fellow and former admins, especially Kutski for giving me the role, and to various EA representatives for acknowledging our work this year. I will still visit here, but as an ordinary user instead of an admin.

Oh, and of course, Happy Holidays
