I am long term temporarily taking a break/retiring

Greetings to all who read, I am the creator and owner of the subreddit. It has been an awesome journey seeing this place go from a tiny community with less than 100 members all those years ago to this big place with 8k members. But my life has changed a lot since I created this place, I won't go much into detail but I have been having serious issues in my life for the past year now that have wrecked me emotionally and on top of that I'm going to be going to college next semester. I've been a lot less active in 2025 as my life problems peaked and then I also have been hard at work on the college application process.

So with all that in mind, I feel I need to take a break to work on myself for self improvement and then focus on college. I entrust my fellow mods to keep this place thriving and in order. For my last action I have created one more photo contest which you can find in the pinned posts. It's been a huge honor being a part of this community. Thank you all for making this community special, see ya.
