Huge shoutout to Spyre

Post by Party in the forest at midnight » Sun Jan 08, 2023 8:28 pm

Thanks for everything you've done for the server. From running PGCC to helping fix broken characters, and probably a lot of admin work that is invisible to the rest of us. I hope all of your real life stuff goes well, those are all big life things going on and I wish you the best.

A loss to the community but totally understandable. Good for you to make this decision and thank you for everything you have done over the years. I hope you have an amazing wedding and wish you all the best in life. Good luck finding a place too!

You’ll be missed.

For everything a casual community member saw Spyre doing, there was so much more happening behind the scenes. From handling nearly all server correspondence, team roles, the database, and generally being an all-rounder who has likely fixed hundreds. if not thousands of issues with Arelith over years.

I really hope it is appreciated, by those with wisdom enough to understand that this kind of work is motivated by a love of the server, not by any desire for authority or control. Over the years Spyre has really put himself out there to make Arelith a better place, for all of us. It should be appreciated, I hope it is.

We will definitely be poorer without his work.

Also, a massive kudos to him for knowing when to put his real life first. It's a lot easier said than done.

Grade A admin work. Like Irongron says, I can't imagine how many hours you actually put in behind the scenes. I wish you the best at your wedding & next steps in your life. I think it's the right choice.

Best of luck going forward Spyre. Loved having you around, and while I may not have always agreed with you, your opinion was still one I respected. Good luck in life and may Tymora favour you and yours going forward.

Guy did some brilliant work even at the oddest hours that he should have been asleep. All this while solely volunteering. Huge props, and definitely a noble reason to bow out.

Huge luck on the marriage and the house hunt! Right there in the same shoes.

Spyre literally always found time to answer all my annoying little questions and talk me through the things that I wasn't smart enough to understand. Can't thank you enough.

Real Life before game, that's my motto. Congratulations on your impending nuptials...

Thank you, though, for the endless hours. You will be missed.

Trust is not earned in a single day. So be the same for Respect. I've never interact with you before but solely just based on the years of dedication in contribution to this server, I, like many other players will shoutout kudos to you as well !

Thank you Spyre for everything you have done for this server. Even if we only saw maybe half of your work. As the rest was behind the scenes. I wish you the best in what life will bring you. And maybe you'll be back. They always will be back.

Thank you so much! Arelith really is a haven among servers where the staff consists of sincere helpful individuals who really care for the module and the people in it. I have never seen the likes of it ever before, and that is really saying something.

I believe every bit of it stems from the labors of a sound and caring administration and leadership. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

Thank you Spyre, for the love you have given to this community!

Over the years I have leaned to him for assistance, for inspiration, and for consoling even. The amount of work he's done in the time that I've known him is monumental. Without question his departure is understandable and he should know just how much he is adored. He should know that while the community will never be the same without him, we'll carry things on and look back fondly on the good times.

I will miss him and I wish him the best, and if he ever does come back he knows we'll keep the lights on for him. He has my personal thanks and continued admiration.

Congrats to you, Spyre. Yours was a job that's felt more than it was seen, but I always regarded you as someone with a tireless ability to assist others. Thank you!

We love you, and thank-you for everything you've done Spyre. Sorry we were all a pain in the butt sometimes. <3 Good luck with adulting. I have no doubt that you will be as great a family man as you've been an administrator for the server.

Thank you for everything you have done for us Spyre.

You've helped me a few times now and have taken your own personal time to do this and engaged with me on a personal level to do so.

You will be sorely missed, I hope one day you may return and our paths will cross again.
