Farewell

Hello, everyone.

There is no other way to get around this, especially with the title above. In short, I'm leaving PoP! After a year and a half I've come to the conclusion that my time is up and I need to move on, go on my own path and make place for others. It was not an easy decision and I certainly feel sad about it, but I also made up my mind about it awhile ago and thus, my last column for PoP! will be published later this week (Thursday, to be precise; I also have something up tomorrow *cough shamelessplug cough*).

There's no much to get into, but all in all, it was my very own decision, accepted with much respect by my fellow PoP!Stars. I'm certain I leave the site and the forums in good hands, both of these I've shared this experience with from the beginning and latter additions. It means that yes, I'm also quitting my role as Chief Admin. I will remain an active forum member, as much as I can. As for writing, I'll most likely revive my defunct blog, on my own schedule.

I would like to thank (and apologize for any wrongs I've done to) everyone on the PoP! staff, past and present: Lee Rodriguez, Jason "Mnemosis" Kerouac, Jason "Silent K" Knize, Ben "Debaser" Gilbert, Robert "rwe113" Eddleman, Thacher "Demonweasel" Cleveland, Jose "Tainted Films" Guzman, Nicole Rodriguez, Jamie "Tripper McGee" Doles, Matt "Esbat" Cavazos and Justin "Metal Misfit" Walden. I'd also like to thank those who were directly and indirectly part in creating Panels on Pages: Jim Gibbons, Brian Cunningham, Sal Loria (not only was he an early part of this group, he was also the one to recommend me for the Wizard gig, and without it I would've never got into cahoots with the people mentioned earlier), Eric Moya (he was my first Wizard connection back when I started), Josh Wigler and Andy Serwin. Last but definitely not least, I want to thank to anyone who read my articles or supported PoP! (even without reading my stuff). Whether you agreed with me or we got into ugly debates, I cherish everything.

I wish you nothing but good fortune in your future endeavors Tomer. I'm gonna miss your PoP Castings the most.

It's been an honor working with you, Tomer. Be sure to plug your blog any time on the forums.

Tomer..aka..PoP cop it has been great reading your work. I look forward to your future work. You have always been a straight shooter and a fair admin. I wish you nothing but the best in everything you do.

It'll be weird without you contributing, Tomer. I know you'll find success in whatever you set out to accomplish. Good journey.

Best wishes.

I'll still be around for those.

Best of luck in your next venture.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks for everything Tomer! It's been great, and I hope for nothing but the best. There's just one little nitpick I have with your farewell post... you forgot to thank a couple of people.

Where would you be without Wesley and Fred?

Good Luck dude!! May your new path fill you with the riches and the bitches you want. lol



Can I have your parking space?

Good luck. It's in Israel.

Glad to see you'll be sticking around, in some form or another, and good luck in all of your future endeavors.

I deny any connection to these two nobodies.

You can have my cubicle instead (it's between the handicap toilet room and the janitor's room).

It was gone along with the rest of the island last winter.

Good luck with whatever you're doing next. Your articles were always a good read.

Will definitely miss you but good luck and Godspeed on your next journey.

I look forward to still seeing you around the boards and hearing about your latest adventures.

Good luck man.

It was the musat.

all the best in your new adventures!

Good luck Tomer. Glad to hear that you'll still be around to post your thoughts.

Good luck Tomer! Thanks for spellchecking me those couple of times way back!
