Fuck this shit. I have no clue why I still post here. I absolutely -hate- forums and have hated them for the past two years. I opened up TalkPark on a whim and it exploded and now I'm stuck admining it until it becomes a huge success and I can sulk into the shadows or it dies and I quit the web permanently.

To any of you people that are yearning for a staff position somewhere, don't. I've staffed countless forums, from small ones to huge ones not even on PB and it's the same thing everywhere: drama + responsibilities = no fun. As a member you can login once a day, once a week or once a year and it won't matter but as staff you gotta be online 24/7 or your forum tanks and if it isn't your forum then you're going to be outdone by another staff member.

I realize I've had some fights with a few people here so let me clear that up. I don't give a rat's ass about you and never have. Drama at SZ is about as dramatic as a piece of paper.

So why am I deleting myself? Because I want to sever all my ties with the forum life except for my own website. The only reason I can't shut that down is because I'd be letting down loads of people. Maybe in the future I can sulk off into the shadows and let the place run itself but for now I'm gonna have to be there.

SZ is the last PB forum I post on so it's been a good run and a great five years.

Hopefully Fredy can keep this place plenty active without me having to dis him in all of his random threads.
