I never wanted this day to really come. The day where I would ultimately had to leave every aspect of the site, firstly by being demoted for negligence (from publisher, I'm now Encoder), and finally by my own choice (from Encoder to member). This site was really special in 2012. Everyday after school, I used literally go directly to my computer, turn it on, and open the IRC of TASVideos to chat with anyone, read what they had to say, and understand the jokes, when my english was barely good enough. When I got promoted to Publisher, I was thrilled! I got to be at the Staff! 1 year full in, 1 year full out, and 1 year full in again: a constant back and forth while my motivation was decaying but suddenly booting up. But now, college has me threading water in this site. Everything else goes perfectly, but it's this site that gets the worse of it. So now, it's time to grow a pair, and finally step aside completely. I want to thank every one of you for making my 2012 tolerable and mostly cheerful, for making my days when I was an active Publisher really laughable, whether in IRC or in the forums. I want to thank to the people that I got to meet in the IRC and I would dare to call my friends: Mothrayas, Nach, even Spikestuff who I had some quarrel long time ago, and any other one whom felt that I was sincerely chatting with. I wish I could have developed this friendship, but now I see that the roads have long forked. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thanks.

The time changes people. My 2014 was also great in many aspects. Then I learned TASing and TASed some games of my childhood. Now, university takes a big part of my free time. I'm slowly forgeting the time when I spent 3 hours to make some seconds of a TAS instead of growing up in World of Tanks, Survarium and other online games where my friends were also evolved. At the age of 18 you have to start building your future, there is little time left and you understand how fast is the time. Let my "Thank you" be at the history of TASing. P.S: Lots of WIPs left from me, everyone can take them and maybe continue. I'm still a member of this site. I'm following the news and, of course, waiting for Hourglass-Resurrection.
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

Guga, thank you for being around when you were, and thank you for all your contributions to the site. It was great to have you around, to talk with you on IRC, to work on a TAS project together (teaching you how to TAS), and just to have good times. It's a shame that those times have ended, but who knows what the future may bring still. Best of luck with college and your life!

This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Thanks Guga. I'll never forget ThatGugaWhoPlay(s), and all the fun alternates we had. Hope you have an easy and meaningful time at college. We'll miss you.

Thank you. It’s always sad when someone leaves the community, so many great TASers had quit :(
