Farewell my fellow cartos, it has been fun
Posted: Sat Aug 01, 2009 12:59 pmHey everyone,
The time has come for me to say goodbye. I have been here for almost 3 years and the times have been great. I have got to know a lot of people and learned a TON of stuff that I will continue to use elsewhere. But I have become burnt out on CC maps. I have about 7 maps that are in various stages of development and I can't seem to get motivated to get them going. I open photoshop and get ready to work, and the desire to create gets sucked out of me. I don't know what it is exactly but it is over. Just to let everyone know that me leaving has not been influenced by other members, the foundry atmosphere, feedback, or anything else. I just need to retire (or at least a long break)
Now I will not promise to stay away 100% forever. I will still play games and jump into threads from time to time, but my overall participation will be very small and map development will be zero. So if you want me to do draw or help with a map or signature, I will have to decline.
I will however still be working on the Pirates map with edbeard until it gets done. I know that has really been slow but both of us have been busy and we hope to get it moving again soon.
So once again, thanks to you all for the help, critiques, thoughts, ideas, encouragement and online avatar based friendships. It has been a fun ride.

But you owe yourself a break (20 maps, wow!), and I really hope you return often!
