So… it’s come to this. I had hoped that this would never have to be said, but secretly I knew it was inevitable, and here it is.

I can no longer afford to or force myself to be a part of the Death Battle Fanon Wiki.

Heck, I’m barely even a part of it anymore. I do almost nothing to uphold the community and I am not motivated to do such things. Nearly all the users that were around when I first joined have either left or have been banned, and most users that are still here I’m either fine with, don’t like, or don’t know. Not to mention that the format Wikia uses is just too weird for me now, and the new layout is terribly confusing. Combine that with the fact that DeviantArt’s system makes writing anything much more of a breeze, the community being much broader and vast, and there essentially being no limitations to what one can and can’t write… Well, my preference between the two sites is pretty plain to see now.

So, as much as I hate to say it… I think it’s time for me to put my time here to bed. To hang up the title of admin and move on. I have a lot of good memories with this website and those who were once a part of it, but you can’t always hang onto the past forever. Such is life.

Now, I’m not going to be giving my status away immediately, or my fights, for that matter. I’m going to only be keeping a handful of fights to finish on here, and once those have been completed, I request that I be brought down to the level of a simple user once again. After that, I will take my most likely permanent leave of the Death Battle Fanon Wiki.

Here are the terms I have planned for my leave.

-I will be demoted to just a user once my remaining fights are all completely done.

-No longer will I host the DBF Podcast, that can be left up to some other user if they so choose.

-Any and all “Fanons” I was going to do are canceled.

'''-Only a select few fights of mine will be saved for completion. Any that I do not specifically list later on this post as fights I am finishing are up for public grabs.'''

'''-I will not go on the DBF chat room anymore, although if it’s alright with everyone, I would like to stay on the DBF Discord server. I still have friends from DBF I would like to interact with after I leave, and the DBF Discord has pretty much all of them, so I’d like to stay there post-leave. Obviously, I’ll transfer ownership to Ari and just go down to the level of an Ordinary Person.'''

-If Pikart has no qualms with it, I’d like to still be a part of the DBF Pokémon Fangame’s development.

'''-I would prefer to keep my adminship until I finish the handful of fights I have left since I’ve protected my user page from being edited by just anyone. However, if the staff would prefer it, I will strip myself of my admin rights after unprotecting my user page, and once my fights are done an admin could lock the page once again.'''

'''-If you have a collaboration with me, I will be listing the collaborations I’m interested in continuing and/or completing. If it is not listed as one of the collaborations I’m keeping, I am no longer interested in it.'''

I deeply apologize for the fact that I’m doing this, but it’s really for the better. I’m gonna be in college soon, and I can’t keep up with the demands of being an admin once that starts up. You all saw what happened to Para when he tried to juggle DBF and college studies.

Not only that but I really just do not care for the DBF anymore. It’s no longer the same place that I used to go to daily and revel in the happiness of being a part of it. And, as Nintendo’s own Reggie said… If it’s not fun, why bother?

Please forgive me for doing this.
