we're not adding *ANY* new admins, users are reminded of that as of now.. this is a Farewell blog, use it as such and don't try to use it as any kind of promotion (self or otherwise).

Balthus, you are and always will be a trusted member of the community and when Pendragon and myself went to Deathwalker to get new admins you were one of the very first we acted on (this was before we became 'crats).

however it is not a life sentence, any admin is free to ask to be removed at any point and we will do so without hesitation - you can be free to pursue whatever you may want.. never think just because you no longer wish to be an admin that the wiki's gates are closed to you, they are always open.. further, as a former admin you can retire as long as you may wish safe in the knowledge that if you ever wish to become an admin again you can be given your admin rights back by default.. that  is our gift for admins.. who serve the wiki but like every user are human and need time off every now and then too.
