Hello everyone,
As I'm sure many of you know by now, I made an decision to give Golbolco the lobby to have some light pranks on April 1st. This did not function entirely as planned. So, I apologize for the grief that this has caused the community and am sorry for my actions.
But, this reveals something about myself - I'm not responsible enough to be the lobby owner. Sometimes it takes a big event to reveal something to yourself that others saw from the start. This is one of those cases, due to my sheer arrogance masking myself from the truth.
This event coincides with some tough times in my personal life as well, so giving up the lobby is beneficial for me in that regard.
Alyssa is one of the best and the most qualified user to be the next owner. So, I'm giving her the ownership of the 'box. I hope you all treat her with the respect and support you showed me 5 months ago.
I'll also be leaving the site more due to personal reasons, and so I just wanted to say the following:
If I caused you any grief throughout my 5 years on this site, I am truly sorry and if my apologies are not sufficient to undo the damage I will work with you to patch things up.
On the other hand, if I've caused you any joy, I can assure you the feeling is mutual as I enjoyed healing wounds through laughs rather than causing them. If you want to remember me as a friend, I hope you remember my attempts at humor to make everyone's lives a bit lighter.
If you want to remember me as an owner, I hope you remember how I brought back Sandbox.
It's been a long time since I've started playing here and I feel like I've been around almost every corner of the site. Even if I haven't touched your experience, I can assure you that you've touched mine. There are a countless number of users I could name right now but due to my faulty memory at the time, it would not do justice to leave out my praise of the users who have slipped my mind. For the most part, I feel like I keep my praise rather open, so if I've really appreciated something you've done, you know who you are.
I'll also be leaving all of the Discord servers I'm in. You can still dm me on there though to contact me, Shwartz99#0447.
And as a final bit of humor, I'll see you all next week! I'll never forget any of you, and I wish you all the best in life.
