Unless things change, I have decided to no longer be part of the Omnimaga staff, due to life and online reasons. The reasons why are because the task of running the site has been made harder and harder by certain forum members, putting unnecessary loads of pressure on myself (increased moderation on IRC at night and several people bugging me non-stop to check their project updates, followed by complains when I didn't, and lack of help from the other staff part. Also, since my work schedule has become unstable in the past few months (it got better, but it's not going to change in long terms), this doesn't help. Basically, I am busier, and when I am not busy, I am simply too tired to participate to the community properly or at all (some people my have noticed my posts are getting shorter and shorter, or not written properly). You might have noticed my activity on other sites has become more sporadic as well. In addition to that and probably because of that too, my interest have been slowly waning.

Since I notice no change and due to lack of help on the news posting side, it is clear for me that I will not be able to contribute like I used to anymore. Since all this have caused me to temporary retire from staff several times in the recent past, too, I am getting worried I simply can no longer hold that position anymore in long terms. This is why I have been thinking about calling it quit, soon.

I'm thinking about retiring from this site as well.
I have a real feeling of guilt, not knowing wether I caused this.

That sucks Before this sunday, I wasn't on omni for 2 weeks.
At least Omnimaga as a whole is doing well.

I wish I could help, but I'm still grounded you know my phone number if you want to talk.

My skype is qazz42 if you want to talk. Although, I might not be much help

I wasn't expecting this at all, not for now at least.

Well DJ, I hope you can rest more for now, but I'm sure the community can handle it without you (I hope so, at least).

I also think you could 'hire' two members/admins/persons to write News since you are, by far, the person who writes more News.

Good Luck DJ!

I agree with that Idea fully.  (DJ I sent you a PM earlier that basically proposed this, but by the time you see this you'll have read it )

And most importantly is yuor real life issues.  We can get by without you, though we'd prefer you to stay.  While I still remain powerless to help you IRL, I can only pray things will get better for you.

Too bad that you're retiring... you've always run things well here in the past, but if it's getting to be too much I can understand that. Hope you have better luck with your IRL issues in the future.
