Resignation

    To Whom It May Concern,
    It is with regret that I must announce my resign-
    ation as administrator of quake.ie, and consequently
    from the IGN organising committees.
    Since I joined IGN / quake.ie last year, I have put
    in many long hours bringing the site and servers to
    their current standard. Originally, I carried this
    work out in my free time, but this gradually took
    over my work time as well. The result was that I
    would spend all my time, day and night, working on
    improving the quake.ie service.
    This in itself is reason enough to leave, but when
    my health was affected last week in the middle of
    quake.ie maintainance, I was certain that I had to.
    Thank-you for all your support and advice over the
    past year, and I hope that you will be able to share
    some of this with Ed Curry at the IGN (eddie@quake.ie)
    to whom the unenviable task of finding a replacement
    now falls.
    I will continue to play Quake with GI clan from time
    to time, and will see most of you at the IQCL Finals.
    Wishing quake.ie all the best in the future -
    John.

    When Giblets started I approached Cloud to ask a favour.
    I needed a server to stage our CTF games on.
    Not only did he do this, and send me analysed
    result from the logs, but he came in specially to make
    sure the server was up after some cleaning lady turned it off
    or something during one game :)

    Giblets played all of our games on servers set up
    by Mr Warrior, and I doubt I would have been able to
    keep the clan together without somewhere to play.

    For that and everything else mentioned by everyone,
    much thanks. Look after yourself man.

    DeVore.

    Your work was greatly appreciated throughout.
    On behalf of CT I extend our gratitude for
    everything you've done for us (remember tgi?),
    for the irish quake scene (way too much to
    summarise here) and quake in general.

    Take it easy on yerself my friend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 895 ✭✭✭imp


    Best of luck john,
    thanks for all your help when we were starting
    out.
    You still have to come down to maynooth for a
    few pints with us though.
    cya,
    mike.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    John,

    I don't need to say anything on behalf of all
    the quake.ie players 'cos they've already said
    it themselves. Its obvious from the response
    to your resignation that your constant work for
    the benefit of the Irish Quake community has been
    greatly appreciated.

    I am one of those people who have even more to
    be grateful for. As a member of Guns Island, I've
    also got to benefit from all the effort you have
    put in there to organise things for us and to
    maintain the web pages too.

    In some ways I'm sorry to see you go and in others
    I am not. If your health is being affected then
    you've gotta stop. You gotta look after numero
    uno. Its our loss, but you've already done so
    much for us than we could have asked for.

    Personally, I want to say thanks for all the fun
    we've had playing Quake (which I hope we still
    can get to do) and thanks so much for helping me
    out with my levels. Playtesting them, putting
    them on servers for me, and advertising them too!

    I hope that this isn't going to put a downer on
    your forthcoming trip to America. I hope you
    enjoy it. The CD I promised for you only got
    sent on Wednesday, so it might not get to you
    in time. Hopefully, it'll arrive before you go
    though. *fingers crossed*

    Stay in touch friend, and get better and stay
    better.

    All the very best,

    Charlie.
