Default Retiring

Hey guys , I hate to do this, but I am forced to retire as a Director. This is not by choice, but by necessity. I was recently granted a promotion/raise at work, and now I will be working 50+ hours a week. I just don't have the time to properly maintain an active Director's role.

I can't say enough about this site. It's you (the members) that make this site what it is, and you guys are awesome. Keep up the good work!

I will not be leaving the site, just stepping down as Director. I will still drop in to answer questions and even ask some now and again

I have had a blast, but since I feel that I can't properly do my job, I should pass the torch along to someone with more time to dedicate to the forum. Thanks for everything guys!

@Admin: Thanks Admin for the opportunity to be a part of the best overclocking site on the net. You have done wonders for the oc'ing community. My hats off to you sir.

Thanks everyone, and I will see you around.

You will definately be missed, but it was the right thing to do. Hopefully I'll see you around on the forum from time to time. Good luck with your job!

Yeah, I have been so busy it's not even funny. That is why I decided to step down. It's time to pass the reigns on to someone else.

This is good news at any rate. New positions can (with hard work) bring about newer and more exciting prospects. Your dedication to this site and your most excellent regards in realizing that you can not do justice to this position show you to be of fine character. I have seen many attempt to hold onto positions when they are not able to commit their time and fail the site they support. I commend you and respect you for this recognition of your limits.

Here's hoping that the movement upwards continues and that the income generation is commensurate with the career upgrades
