User blog:Gavin the Animal/Retiring from the Wiki

Hey, everyone. You heard (read?) that title correctly, I’m retiring from this wiki. It’s not because of any issues, I’m glad the wiki has calmed itself down significantly after the drama in September, and it’s great that the wiki has been restored, but I think it’s time I retire from here. I was never really a big writer in the first place, and I haven’t really watched SpongeBob in a while (but I’ll always be a fan of the show, that’s for sure), and I just don’t feel like there’s much point in me being here anymore.

I’m thankful to all those who have been with me on the wiki for all this time, and I’m glad I can leave the wiki on a positive note. Feel free to demote my otter account with content moderator rights, I won’t be needing them. I was happy to help the wiki in any way I could, and I’m glad that I have so little negative relationships with people here, and I’m happy that any drama on the wiki was solved eventually.

It was a bit of a bumpy ride at times: The admin drama in December 2012, the Star Alliance drama, the majority of 2014, the world against Golfpecks drama, and so on, but all drama ended, and it really does show how a lot of us are a lot more mature than we think.

I wasn’t always the most liked person on the wiki, and I did some pretty bad things, like report several underaged users while I was underaged myself, acted superior and very severe to some others, got myself permabanned from the wiki on numerous occasions, and don’t even get me started on my brony phase (no offence to sane fans of the show, but its fandom was really not my thing).

So, yeah, even if it wasn’t always happy, I’m glad that everything resolved itself, and if you’re someone that doesn’t have a high opinion of me, then I’m sorry I couldn’t be more appealing to you, but I hope you find or have found people who you do get along with.

And that’s all I have to say, goodbye, everyone!
