Thanks everyone for lovely and personal responses!
I've never had the privilege of writing a big long resignation essay because I'm usually dragged out kicking and screaming so it'll be fun to give it a go. I have had an amazing time as manager with lots of ups and a few downers. Recently however it's started becoming a case of going through the motions so I decided to leave and let someone with a fresh perspective on things take over.
It is very nice that people are saying I rebuilt the department but that is not the case. I would not have been able to do anything without the many members of staff both past and present. Habbox has the most talented staff compared to any other fansite I've worked at and it's been amazing to work with so many different people who have all brought something new to the department. Thank you to Alex who showed me what you can achieve when you work together (literally, he posted a thread about it, saddo). Thank you to Roxy and Martin (and very briefly rosie), very good AGMs who, despite a few arguments here and there, know what they're talking about.
Thank you to the graphics department for providing competitions with so many wonderful graphics over the 2 years I've been there, including:
Thank you to features managers for adding all my vip and rep and not losing your patience with how much you had to do!
Thank you to those who provided feedback back in december 2009 otherwise we'd probably still be doing what we were doing!
thank you to mattg for finally getting rid of that stupid rep quota and letting me bully him in official quests
thank you for entering competitions.
