I'll be helping behind the scenes on an as-needed basis, but I've always been more of a PR admin than a server admin, and the site is in very capable hands with bernard and cat, as well as the rest of our great staff. I'm excited to see where they can take the site, and for any new staff additions they may find.

I've been involved in the SO community for a while, and I've witnessed a lot of growth in this site as well. It's been an immense pleasure and honor having a part in that development, and while I've definitely made my share of mistakes, I've always tried to do what I thought would help not only Scioly.org the site, but the Science Olympiad community at large, and I hope that I've found at least a little bit of success in that. I'm not swearing off Science Olympiad completely: I'll still make appearances on the forum and IRC, and I'll continue to be involved with tournaments here and there, so I'm not disappearing for good. However, it's always been my belief that this site should largely be driven by its users, and it's been some time since I've been a competitor, and the SO landscape has changed quite a bit since then. I'll always have some beliefs (I'm never really going to like private resource trading ), but the site should do its best to serve the needs of its users and community, and I think it's time to pass that on to the younger userbase.

So long, and thanks for all the Future Dictator titles!
