I've been delaying this post for a while, but recent events have made this a nail in the coffin. This will be my formal resignation from Community Administrator. If you take nothing else from this post, just make sure to shuttle @HogoBojo into the position as soon as possible. He's been your guy for a while.
I've been involved with Lord of the Craft for almost 9 years now. It's been an incredible run. There is truly nothing else like our community out there on the internet, and my only regret is not having already shared more of what we have to offer. LotC at its best is a whirlwind of personalities, ideas, and passions that craft a world worth escaping into. I'll never stop advocating for that, and I want to sincerely thank every person who has poured the amount of time into this server that they have. You have a massive stake in what we are.
All leaving posts are peppered with "life goes on", and this one is no exception. My living circumstances have changed so radically that I no longer have the time nor the passion to look after things like I ideally would want. I've treated the server purely as a place to relax from the day for a while now as an Admin, and its a disservice to my team and the server as a whole.
Though I had hoped to smoothly transition to the next Administrator, a recent event within the Administration has spurred my leaving. While I had successfully pushed to remove an active pest from our playerbase (some of you may be familiar with the Terms of Service violation), the lengths of which it had to go with a certain individual quite frankly disgusts me. I cannot morally participate in an environment that drags its feet on issues that concern our youngest players, and I know that I do not have the time or circumstance to fix it myself. I only hope that those involved in the situation take a critical look at themselves and what kind of an environment they would like LotC to be. That's all I'll say on that matter.
It's been a pleasure, everyone. if life pans out the way I want, I'll be here and there as your casual role-player and perhaps even as a future Tech, as I still believe in the dream that our server could be. I'm glad to have represented the Community, and I'm forever honored by the shot that you gave me. Stay classy, guys.
Best,
Caleb
