It's been one hell of a ride since I joined a couple of years ago. I've worn several "hats" during my stint here, and I can say that I've truly enjoyed (most of) them. I've learned *loads* of stuff, have met some really outstanding folks, and made some real friends. CPF is a great place, and it'll always have a place in my heart. I've reached a point, however, where I need to distance myself from CPF.
There are many reasons for this. Most importantly, I need to finish my dissertation and move on with life. Posting this will serve as a reminder that my priorities are elsewhere, as much as I love CPF. Also, as I reflect upon my CPF experience, I am not sure I'm thrilled with where it is going... I would like to see more innovation, more creativity, more technical discussions, more sharing knowledge, more openness, more community, and less profiteering. Not that commerce is a bad thing for CPF, but I need a break from that trend - maybe that'll reset my modder wanna-be and community activist perspective.
This is not a definite farewell by any means - I'm too addicted to quit cold turkey, and I have pending projects and business that I will continue to be involved in, until those are finished. After that, who knows? In the mean time, make your involvement here worthwhile for the entire community - it is one of the greatest and most unique communities I've found. It is my most sincere wish that it continues to be so.
