RPG Maker Forums

Hey folks, I am going to be taking a break from the forums and stepping down as a moderator for a while - I expect at least a few months, maybe longer.


I have been looking after a sick relative since early February, and as we live so far apart, I am travelling a couple of hours each way every week, spending half my time with them, and half with my family.  My siblings and their families, for the most part, are not stepping up to help, so it's all me, and it's taking its toll.  I am not keeping up with even a small workload, and not spending as much time on the forum as I should be.  This situation is going to continue for quite some time, so I need to take a step back and focus on the things that are more important (family, and keeping a roof over our heads).


I may stop by from time to time due to work (for now, I am still staff and will be working on products and plugins), but I am going to make an effort to not be here too frequently or for a long time.  The commercial area will be looked after.


It's been a joy and a privilege to have been a part of this community since the very beginning - it is not like ANY other RPG Maker forum I have ever seen or heard about before, and I think we should be proud of that - I know I am.


Be kind to the moderating team.  They work extremely hard for the community, most of them on a volunteer basis.  You have no idea how much goes on behind the scenes (even I believe I've still only seen the tip of the iceberg).  If you're about to get angry with them for some reason or accuse them of doing something, you are probably wrong.


Please don't spam in your efforts to outdo my post count while I'm away


Take care, and happy RPG making
