The last time

All good things come to an end sooner or later. And now the time has come to say my farewells. Before you start shouting some senseless nonsense about this resigning, let me make something clear right now. I did not leave because of that bloody senior admin thing. Okay? I got my reasons, and I will explain them in detail later.

Fortress of Gamers was the second gaming community I ever joined. Followed by the footsteps of Fin, I decided to give a shot at the forums, and I must say, it was a pleasant surprise. You took me in, and made me one of this huge community. And I loved every single minute of it.
Looking back at my job as admin, I must say that I was horrible admin. I missed half of the rulebreakers and constantly hung Mr.Belette on walls using /bring. I had my friends, and enemies along the population of achievement/idle. Some players absolutely loved me, some hated me from the bottom of their hearts. Which is to be expected when you sign up for a job like this.

Now, In my admin application I wrote this: "Gaming isn't fun without people around, and that's why community should posess the right ways of treating new people. There has been a lot of talk about the negative attitude towards new members and that is something I would like to fix" I still think, that the main job of the admin is to make the server as comfortable as possible. However, due to recent stuff in my life, I can not find myself being online on the server and fixing those problems. This is why I'm not qualified to stay on the position of an admin, and should be removed. The spot should be given to someone who has more time and better chances at fixing the problems.

Now then. The reasons. I got 3 reasons why I haven't been online. Education, family and health.

Let's start of with the obivious one. Final exams are breathing at my face, and I need to focus on those, instead of playing video games. Simple as that.

Then there is my family. My grandfathers heart is going haywire. The possibility of his heart breaking up is there, for he is close to 90 years old. The possibility of losing my grandfather is really distressing. I've had to experience only one loss in my life before this point, and that was when my elder brother committed a suicide. The traumatic experience has given death rather agonizing feel, and that is why I want to spend as much time as possible with my family, before they fall asleep for the last time.

The third is my health. I have brought to a public attention few times, that I'm suffering from diabetes. Now, if someone does not know, there are 2 types of diabetes. The one that gets more attention is the type 2, which is caused by overweight, smoking, alcoholism and bad living standards. I'm suffering from the type 1 diabetes. In type 1 the patients pancreas cells that produce insulin start to die out. There is no explanation why this is happening, and it is by no means a sickness that is caused by eating lots of candies or stuff like that. Keep that in mind when I explain the other details.
Now, during the last couple of months, I've been rapidly losing weight. To give you the scale, I'm 190cm tall and I my weigh is 65kg. And the latter is going down as we speak. This rapid weighloss and the state of being underweight has affected my immunity system already. I'm ill all the time, and find myself staying in bed due to feeling too weak and sick to move. Also I can only sleep with the help of medicines. Sometimes I wake up during the night sweating and crying, because I feel so horrible. All this on top of my diabetes is really stressing my organs and my body. Which in turn leads to bigger problems.

I need to fix my life. I need to study to make myself an independent adult. I need to spend the time with my family, seeing as these are the last moments all of us are together. And I really need to find a solution to get some weight, in a healthy way.

This is why I will quit my job being an admin. Thank you all for taking care of me. I will miss you.

To end this thread, I would like to give some shoutouts to certain people.
