Hello everyone. It's pretty well known, at least to those of you who've been around for a while, that I haven't active at all recently. Indeed, I've been all but retired. This is due to many reasons, partly due to past drama that's occurred on this wiki, but mostly due to those pesky real life circumstances, such as becoming a Computer Science and Engineering student at the UCLA School of Engineering (yeah, it's kicking my ass pretty well). There's been a lot that's gone on here on Wikitroid, and a lot has changed since I last logged on, which must be at least two years ago.

I apologize to the community for my absence, but I must also admit that my inactivity is not something that's likely to change any time soon. Maybe when summer rolls around or on some future date I'll get back into things here on Wikitroid, but until then, I'll be the lurker bureaucrat. I still hang out on Wikitroid's IRC chat channel, or if you don't like IRC or just want to connect with me (or learn about me), feel free to check out my Twitter account or my website. I'll also be monitoring my user talk page for new messages from other users from here on out, and I'll do my best to act on them in a timely fashion, but aside from that, until further notice don't expect me to be active in other ways here on Wikitroid. (I'll also continue running LizardBot, so if you have them, keep the job requests coming.) If you're interested in online gaming, you might be able to catch me playing Star Trek Online (FastLizard4@FastLizard4 or Ta'gnaK@Fastlizard4) or Team Fortress 2 ([UCLA] FastLizard4).

It's been a wonderful time here at Wikitroid. It's been a wild and fun ride, and I've been some amazing people that, even though we've never met in meatspace, I'm proud to be able to call my friends. Like I said, perhaps I'll become active again one day soon. But until then, happy hunting, and if you need anything, feel free to leave a message on my or another admin's talk page*.

Best of luck to all of our editors, old and new. And, as Metroid games of old and new have told their players, see you next mission.

Sincerely, FastLizard4_{ADMIN} (Talk•Contribs•Logs) 06:37, April 23, 2012 (UTC)
