Thank you.

[AJ]

We rarely have members that contribute as much as Schwitzer has.
He has decided to step down from his administrative role to focus on other aspects of his life.

I'd ask you to all thank him for his great job helping me with this site, and his huge impact on many things over the years.

Thanks, Ger.

[Aqo]

Thanks a lot Schwitz, didn't get to talk to you much but I can tell you've done a great deal of things to help Warboards reach where it is now. As a member here for nearly (or over?) three years, truly, thank you.

You'll be back.

[U-238]

Nooooes say it ain't so joe! err Gerrard.

Well, thank you for spending the time here and helping out a great bunch. It really means a lot to the whole community here.

[Frattimonde]

Cheers to the guv'!

[IrishDutchman]

Our lil' Schwitzer's all grown up now! Have a good life, and thanks for the untold amounts of wit you've contributed over the years.

[GrassDragon]

Sorry to see you go Schwitz, I wish you all the best!

[Thedutchjelle]

I hope you will still visit us.

And now you can't infract me for spelling your name wrong :P

[Geno]

I even have to make a post to this one - Here's to Schwitzer. I remember all the fun times - Including our little 1v1 SC map around this time of year two or three years ago. I bet you still even have those screenshots, mate.

I hope life goes well for you - Enjoy it all you can!

So. Gerard, I suspect you have a good reason for pulling me away from my... duties.

Regardless, I'm really gonna miss you, schwitz. You'll always rock my jocks. Good luck with your new job, and whichever stripper pole you end up on, may it be plated with gold.

[Gunmonk]

Well Schwitz, I dunno man Its been nice an awfully fun ride. Thx for the rep! :P

[Ktan]

Awwwwwww

Otherwise, all the best Schwitzer. It's been fun.

[TheBB]

Sad to see you go Schwitz. You'll forever hold an exclusive place on the list of people who have earned BB's respect [not a long list ;)]. Don't be a stranger, or I'll have to ... use force ...

So. Gerard, I suspect you have a good reason for pulling me away from my... duties.

LOL. :D

[Neo]

Schwitzer you were an endless source of amusement, respect, and, well, oddity.

Sad to see you go, but it seemed like your attention was slowly waning.

Have a good one!

<3 schwitz

[MatGeo]

It's too bad you have to go Schwitz.
Hope you have fun in whatever you'll be doing.

Cheers, mate! :beer:

[Basan]

Getting around to know ya in these 3 years was a blast of fun and some of the weirdest delicacies I've met on a forum up to date. It sure has earned you my appreciation. Although sad to see ya go from staff (since you've contributed a lot onto tthise site and the ORG Network), I wish ya all the best on your other projects. ;)
And don't become a stranger just recall to pay us a lil' visit every now and then, ok?

Schwitzer you were an endless source of amusement, respect, and, well, oddity.

QFDT. :)

[Toucan]

I'm very sorry to see you go Swchitz.

I wish you the best of luck in your future mate and hope your efforts in the real world bring you as much success and happiness as they did here.

[dunchy]

Fuck thats gay!

I always thought I'd leave before Schwitz...always a bridesmaid never a bride...

Good luck friend.

[Jimmy_the_saint]

Sad to see you go. Although if I read the First Post correctly, It says your not going to be a mod anymore, not leaving for good. Anyway. All the best Wishes with this thing the other call "The Real World".

-JTS

EDIT: Yeah It says that he is just stepping down from admin. And like some of us he might just lurk occasionally posting, Or got AWOL for a while then come back in a massive posting frenzy often pissing off Geno. And end up getting infacted. like me.

[DarkMirror]

For your service as a great moderator, have a piece of cake!
THE CAKE IS A LIE!

[Gunmonk]

Fuck thats gay!

I always thought I'd leave before Schwitz...always a bridesmaid never a bride...

Good luck friend.


Sorry dunch, Ive been busy lately, but I've been meaning to ask:

Will you marry me?

[SHISHKABOB]

That was a really bad place to ask that question D:

Also, thanks Schwitzer for everything and anything you did to keep this site up.

[Modred]

So long, Schwitzer! Thanks for all the work you've put into the community.

Sad to see you go. Although if I read the First Post correctly, It says your not going to be a mod anymore, not leaving for good.

Actually, when someone steps down from an admin position, AJ makes them "disappear" so that the vital secrets of WB remain forever secret.




No really, that's what happens.

[Black.Ice]

You guys act like you're writing his eulogy. He's stepped down as an admin, he's not completely dead. I'm sure he'll be around.


But continuing the trend, Schwitzer, you were an awesome admin and a great moderator. I learned a lot from you. You'll always have my respect, and I'll remember you. RIP. err, see you around you ho-cake.

[pytum]

now, who will be the new administrator?...

btw, i didnt talk to schwitzer, no that i remember, but judging by your posts, he realized a good job "administrating" this site

[TheOutcast]

I hear nothing but great things about Schwitzer, so my regards to 'em!

[DoctorZettabyte]

Schwitzer, you've been an inspiration to all of us on this site, this network, and on the internet as a whole. Thank you from myself and every user on WarBoards!

-DoctorTerabyte

[GenocideAlive]

The urge to post something about a Marilyn Manson album is overpowering.

I guess I'm forced to resort to humor since I'm such a lame douche when it comes to goodbyes. What can I say, you meant a lot to me, Gerard.

[DarkMirror]

If you want humor, look at my post again.

[Battlecruiser]

Thanks Schwitzer. Hope you keep posting, but I haven't seen you post much lately. Gonna miss you man. I still remember you teaching me how to BS in Starcraft. That was fun. Ahh...Good memories.

Good luck where ever life leads you.

[Atillawurm]

Schwitzer you were one of the best mods this site has seen (now i just hope mag dosn't get promoted....) good luck with your other ventures in life, have a Cougar on me (ok well you are going to have to pay for it but lets pretend its from me), and if you see Fenguin give him a cookie.

[Protogod]

now, who will be the new administrator?...

*ahem*

[Thedutchjelle]

*ahem*

Dear god no.
You already have to many powarz.

[MatGeo]

This isn't the place to discuss who will take his place, besides that won't be decided by us.

[Leosam096]

Man, we had great times. You made the best Drunk Threads! You'll come back and visit us sometime again, aye?

[KexMex]

Bye Schwitzer. You're funny. You're like the funny older brother who's actually someone in a country far far away and whom I don't really know but it doesn't matter because it's the Internet and we're all family here.

Except Jack Thompson.

[Gunmonk]

*ahem* Gunmonk

Shhhh no one was supposed to know

[Modred]

This isn't the place to discuss who will take his place, besides that won't be decided by us.

As his last duty, Schwitzer should host a game show where the winning contestant gets his job.

[Protoss_Honor]

Schwitzer, it's been a blast. You helped bring chaos to the order, and you always managed to look good doing it. *cough*Yeah right*cough* :P
Thanks for all that you have put into the ORG Network, both as a member of the staff and as a person. Good luck with "real life," and don't forget to pop in every now and then to assault us with your wit and cracks at the staff.
G'bye mate. See ya in the funny pages.

[ZeroDarkStar]

<3 the Schwitz

[TinyDancer]

Love you Schwitz! See you around!

[Zeltaris]

Now here's a day I thought I'd never live to see...

Thanks for the fun times Schwitz and for making sure us mortals didn't kill each other when Mummy AJ went on vacation :)

<3

[Schwitzer]

G'day, everyone.

This isn't really a goodbye post, but it's a post I feel should be made nonetheless.

It's no secret that my attention has been increasingly consumed elsewhere these past few months. It happens to all of us now and then, but when I could consistently not visit the site for weeks at a time I began to re-evaluate the role and responsibilities that I was so blatantly neglecting.

Over the years I've been able to see many of you grow, mature and learn, and it's been fantastic to share the ride with you. We've had our laughs, our fun, and even our arguments at times, but ultimately the community has held together. There's a lot of history there, and I believe there's a lot of future too.

Thank you to everyone who left kind words and good wishes. I'm sure I'll pop my head in now and again to check up on you all.

~ Schwitzer.

[Thedutchjelle]

Have fun in Real-Life Schwitzer , and if you feel like joining the dark side again, be sure to visit us. ^_^

Over the years I've been able to see many of you grow, mature and learn,
Don't worry Protogod, he doesn't mean you.

[U-238]

Don't worry Protogod, he doesn't mean you.

I lol'd. Big time.

And why is are people discussing who's going to replace him? You can never replace our dear schwitzy. :D

[DoctorZettabyte]

I think we need a special badge for Schwitzer, like the ones for SC.org staff and such.

-DocTera

[Hunta]

I don't think I've ever thanked you, so here goes. Thanks Schwitzer, for all these years! Some years more than other, though ;) See you around?

[Neo]

Hmm. Sorry about that, seems like there was some riffraff messing up this thread.

Take it somewhere else please, this thread is for gushing over how awesome Ger is and how we'll all be emo with him stepping down.

get it right, dammit

-Neo

[DoctorZettabyte]

Gold rep ball for Schwitzer!

-DocTera

[hammocksleeper]

schwitty are you keeping staff forum access - who else am i going to get my goodies from?

[BlackHawk]

I hate finals. I don't want to come on because I need to study but I miss stuff like this happening :\. Sorry to see you go Schwitz, hopefully you'll still stick around even if you don't have as much time.

[Basan]

now, who will be the new administrator?...

btw, i didnt talk to schwitzer, no that i remember, but judging by your posts, he realized a good job "administrating" this site

That's for us to know and you to figure it out... :smirk:
But you're right in one thing, his 'shoes' will be hard to fit in.

Shhhh no one was supposed to know

Maybe when hell freezes over. Who knows? *Hopes to not bite own words in the long years to come* :rolleyes:

You can say that again. I still recall the days when was a forum newbie and ya coached me every now and then. :)
If it wasn't for you and some of the other staff (plenty of those now former staff members), I probably wouldn't have matured as I did. :tup:

Best of luck to ya Gerard. ;)

[TheOutcast]

Cheers to that.

It feels real sad to lose one heck of great member, but it feels good to give you our best wishes for you to take with you in your journey to the real world. :P

Thanks, Schwitzer for being able to make WarBoards a better community, and for putting 'UNITY' back into 'COMMUNITY'.

[Protogod]

Don't worry I've already made my list and checked it thrice

I went to the mall and told santa how much I'd like an admin spot, too. He couldnt go back on his word now, not on christmas.

[UMSLdragon]

Bye bye. Be back soon! Bin fun in there :D

[TranquilNightElf]

Hey Schwitzer , Don't know when you would come round to read this,
But it has been great having you here in your role.
In my time on the forums, You've fulfilled your responsibilities as a Senior Staff Member commendably, and have been a great fun member of the community.

Catch you later and good luck with your life's obligations and interests.

From the above poster's avatar, you'd be pleased to note that the triumvirate joke is alive and well.
