Hey Guys,
I meant to post this come the start of the New Year when I decided what I wanted to do, but it really wasn't fair for me to avoid this for so long. The truth is that I haven't been watching One Piece at all as of late and my interest in the show began to fade. That's fine... But then my creativity and muse also began to fade.
It's not fair for me to be held as the Admin of this great forum and be the be all end all to it's continued success when my heart isn't in it. The people that have enthusiasm, creativity and heart for Bon Voyage should be the ones making the decisions. The ones who do the heavy lifting and get things done should be the ones that you look up to and that help the forum to continue to be successful.
For now, I'm going away from BV and I'm not sure for how long. I know Char, Vio and my other staff are more than capable of continuing BV, which is also why I was not worried about stepping away and being introspective for a moment to see how I really felt about staying on the forum. If I do come back, I'll obviously just be a regular member as it would also not be fair to return and expect to be the head of the forum randomly either.
I'm sorry for making you all wait and for avoiding you all. I truly do love each and every one of you dearly and wanted to make myself stay for everyone. Which is probably why it took me so long to admit that I needed to leave. It's also why it was hard to own up and be like, "no, I'm not making the right decisions anymore or putting enough effort in, I need to step down." I said that I would stay and I wanted to.
Now, that being said... I do want to keep in touch with as many people as possible and I want to continue to talk again. I'll leave all my contact info down below. If staff have questions or need something from me from the admin account to transition the forum, they can also reach out to me but they can start and probably have been making decisions alright by themselves. Also, I understand if you're mad at me for this and don't want to speak to me again. That's cool too.

I truly do love you all and wish I could still have that old enthusiasm that I did but I can't keep continuing to hold the forum back. Keep doing the awesome things that you always have and I'm sure the forum will continue to do well. In the many years that this place has been around, it's been through ups and downs and loopdy-loops so I'm sure that this too will be something that Bon Voyage can move past.
EDIT: Oh, cool, the admin status was taken off of this account already. =P I was being all dramatic for nothing. Haha.
Love you guys,
Kuro
