I handed over the reins after it was set up 2 years ago so I could focus on some real life issues. I did not quit the community and I was still involved in the monster raffles and still contributed content over that 2 years. This year has been tough for me and I'm not alone there. I won't go into it because frankly its none of your business.

You can attack my character with name calling and such and that might work to sway some of the newer members against this proposal. I would hope that some of the older members who remember what I've done might defend my character, but I am a big boy - I could see this kind of slur coming and I do not expect to be defended.

For the record, I did all the initial work on ssg-community for free and ran it for 3 months for zero personal gain. When I handed it off I did not receive a single penny or vote from ssg-community over all this time, nor did I ask or expect one. The core guys who were around me insisted on paying my expenses for the VPS that I had set up, but I did not ask for that as at the time I was happy to wear the cost.

The VPS cost is an expense incurred. It does not go to me, it goes to the company that hosts the server.
