On December 19th, 2009, at 10:28 PM, I made this post in the Forum Games which unilaterally announced my return from a 10-month absence on the Arcade Trainer Forum. It was a big celebration for me personally, and most everyone welcomed me back as far as I can remember. And after two months of getting to know the new staff and everyone on the forum, I got promoted to my first ever moderator rank of Forum Helper. Then a month after that, Ultamiya was founded and I've kept my two jobs in, well, peace and harmony ever since. Everyone helped me with what I needed. It was fun that I got a lot of support, and I've been friendly with almost the entire forum. And now, all of those people have left to leave behind a shell of a community with staff, a few hackers, and a handful of other regular contributors, if only in a few select sections.Originally Posted by AuburnAttack21
It's not fun anymore.
I've tried really hard to do my job here, and that in itself has been a journey. Locks, warnings, bans, moves, edits. Almost the entire arsenal I've used to get rid of bots and other troublemakers.
But it's all I do now. The Forum Games is dead. Most sections have no activity. Spam only gets a few posts per day. (And that shouldn't have been renamed from Random Spam to begin with) And for months now, it's been my only reason of staying. It's taking up my time and I'm not doing it because I want to.
I'm done. I really am. So, I'm going to end it here at my two year anniversary of returning before things screw up even more. As of this post, 10:28 PM, December 19th, 2011, I officially resign my post of Forum Helper.
Do note that I will still be on APH from time to time, and that I ask for nothing in the Forum Games or Spam to be deleted or moved. I like reading that stuff for the nostalgia. And if by some one in a million shot that you actually care about me, keep me in mind, or even better say goodbye to me on Ultamiya News. Cause I'm leaving for good.
Thank you, and godspeed.
Sincerely,
David Salapa
Forum Helper of the Arcade Trainer Forum
President of the Republic of Ultamiya
