Due to mental health issues, I'm gonna be sparing over the site and IRC for the next two weeks (more if I need to). I'll stay logged in to log chats, but that's it. Kaktus and Roget have me on FB, while kaktus has my phone number, but I doubt I'll be away for THAT long. I just need to better myself before continuing on.
I hope you feel better, and *offer of hugs* <3 Let us know if you need anything.

Deci, you feeling bad makes me so mad that I want to punch something. Like a cactus.
Feel better soon.
I'll try to see if I can't get the translation sites to finish being in contact with us by the time you get back from the sabbatical. I hope you do well for yourself, and everything turns out okay.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
I've been on again more on and off recently, but with today being the day I'm starting to get back into the swing of things (somewhat relatively), I'll just say I'm probably gonna be back to normal, though I'm definitely cutting my IRC usage down a bit.
Another much-needed break for me is coming! I'll be away for another month and a half (estimated date at the latest; by June 1st at least, wow what an original date wow), not on site or chat. kaktus is Rewrite Team temp captain, and rumetzen is Community Outreach temp captain. I've told them both what their jobs/responsibilities are, so it should be all good on that front. As far as chat goes, I'm going to be in sparingly few channels (no SCP-related ones). I'll get an email if I get Wikidot PMs, in case of emergencies or whatnot, and Troy will have me vote in upcoming promotions, but beyond that, I shall be away and recharge. (I think that might be the new norm for me if I take breaks.)
To freedom I goooooo~
Enjoy, Deci! And thank you for everything you've done.
You've done an incredible amount of work for the site, and you more than deserve a break. Take care!
And if the whole world is crashing down… fall through space out of mind with me.
Take care! We'll leave out a bowl of tuna and some catnip for you.
Yet another break, this time for a few months. Will be on IRC for the purposes of logging, but if you really need me, ping me in PMs or text me.
With promotions coming to a close, and staff matters needing to be addressed, I'm coming out of reserve.
I hereby step down from my role as administrator and down to my role as moderator for various reasons, most of them being personal reasons. If this is unacceptable to the rest of SCP staff, I am willing to step down from staff wholesale. Either way, this will be accompanied by a site break of indeterminate length, possible IRC break as well. Maybe not a whole blanket IRC break, but certainly enough of a break where I don't have to be making decisions. I'll also place myself on the inactive list for this reason.
I've enjoyed having you as a colleague, and hope this move helps you find a level of engagement with the site that you're comfortable with. I'll take care of our shared responsibilities. If other admins agree you're certainly entitled to the same Admin Emeritus status we've given to Light and others in the past.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
And now I hearby step down from my role as staff altogether. My final staff duty today will be talking to ProcyonLotor and A Random Day about co-captaining Community Outreach (as I haven't found anyone else I could have co-captain) and its duties.
And I'm still leaving this thread locked; I already got enough well wishes on IRC that I don't want this thread to be filled up with them.
If I feel like I can still help out in the future and actually take on responsibilities I'll think about rejoining staff in the future. For now, people seemed fine with me taking on a role similar to Nusquam. So, sure, I'll do that.
Permanent retirement. Thread will continue to remain locked.
