Hi! ...and bye. Overall I've been posting on the bukkit forums offering feedback and help to people who needed it for a bit over a year now. My leave from staff was something that I was going to be taking as a temporary measure no less than a week ago; I have things in my own life that need working out and being cooped indoors working hours per day wasn't solving those problems. I told mbaxter that I was wishing to retire from DBO staff, but was told at the time that it was fine to simply take a break for the time being. Fast forward today, and a lot of staff are starting to resign and leave the project as well. I've decided that, now more than ever, is an appropriate time for me to officially state that I am no longer going to be doing work with BukkitDev, and my public plugins will very likely not be seeing an update (They will, however, remain on github). As for helping people with plugin issues, that too is likely not going to be on my list of things to do, as I cannot sacrifice that time anymore. “Never say goodbye; Goodbye means going away, and going away means forgetting.” ― J.M.

Unlikely however that situation takes a lot more time especially since I have many responsibilities there.
