Hello friends.
7 years ago I joined this community with a strong love for TF2 and a creative urge that needed to be scratched. I only wanted to make some cool levels and have a good time and this community has given me far more than that; if I were to call any community my home it'd be this one.
But there is a point where the light has gone out where you realise you just don't have the energy to spend 10 hours a day mapping and you just can't host imps daily. Eventually, you host an imp a couple times a week - maybe work on your maps now and then - but in the end we all have to reach the time where we move on to other projects.
It's no surprise to anyone who knows me that my time has been spread everywhere but TF2 over the last couple years; to my game Boing! Bubble Arena (which I encourage you to check out, we do public playtests), and to Mario Kart Wii (which I stream and have started making custom content for).
To cut to the chase, next week as the last event I host as staff I will be running a gameday featuring some of my more notable previous maps. After the gameday next week I will be immediately stepping down as staff. The event is at 9PM GMT on Wednesday the 16th of October, the maps will be as follows:

The first imp I hosted was on the 31st of August 2014, and I counted myself having hosted just over 220 imps! This doesn't count the times I took over imps, so who knows how high it'd be with that too!
Here's a rough list of my custom maps I made during my time here:

Thank you to everyone who has made this community as great as it is now, it's grown so much since I joined a third of my life ago (and no, I didn't join last month!). I know every ex-staff member ever has said this, but you'll still see me around in chat!
