I basically didn't do enough fast enough.

I'm ok with all of that, though. That's because The Void is a site I provide free of charge to everyone here, at my personal expense, with very little to nothing in return. Maybe one day the return comes, but maybe it does not. Either way I still work on The Void, I keep it running - however, I can only prioritize the void as requested over and over if the return is there. I have other priorities and obligations which I really have no other choice but to put first. Other than becoming a priority site to work on, I can only allocate my literally "free" time for work here.

To put it in perspective with DM quitting, I can't quit. Not that I would want to, though. If I was to quit then one day the void would simply no longer be here. Web browsers would return "website not found" or something similar.

Yesterday I was expecting to spend a lot of time working on the void, but things change. Something else came up that took priority over my spending those hours working here. I actually visited the void this morning only to send a quick message to DM, to apologize for yet another delay.

Anyhow, it is what it is.

DM, I realize my pace of site development, very limited time availability and sporadic schedule does not work for you. It's totally understandable. No need for your departure from the mods team to cause any hard feelings between us. I genuinely hope that you continue to feel welcome here and remain part of the community. Thank you very much for all your contributions to the void community.

John, We all know you have other things you must do as well, so do we all. We all have lives outside of the Void, and yet we still make time to come around, and help out. I have set up a few forums myself in the past, though not VB, but I am sure it doesn't take too much longer to fully set up IPB, and it should have all been done on day 1. We gave you a link to a skin we all agreed upon, and nothing. If you do not have the time to devote to this place, allow us to take on more of the responsibility. I am sure you are reluctant to do so due to what happened with Samuel, and now Dark Method, but the reason they both left was because you don't seem to care about the stability of this place.

We have been asking for a few things for years, you say they are coming, and yet we wait.

Hell, I was talking to my tattooist the other day, about their website, and even though she runs her business, is teaching 3 apprentice tattooists, doing consultations on artwork, and setting up some charity events, she still has time to revamp their full website. Being a web designer myself we got to talking about it all, and when you start from scratch, design the look and everything yourself, code from scratch, those things do take time, but even that can be done faster than the void is being put back together.
