I've got all of the squishy, touchy, feely stuff out of the way on the other thread, but I just want to reiterate how much being a part of this Community has meant to me. You guys and gals are amazing, inside and out. Much like the team here at Paragon, I have, and hope to someday again, walk through fire with all of you.

This isn't goodbye. I'm staying in gaming. I love building amazing online Communities around games and don't see myself doing anything aside from this. The social experience is why I play online games, and this is where my passion lies.

So until next time...
Z:

I'm grateful to have known you, and look forward to crossing paths with you, again and more, in the fullness of time.

Thank you, thank you. Rest at ease. The community lives. And you will always be welcome.

-J.

Bye, Zwill.

Your coffee talks will be missed.

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Thanks, Zwillinger. For everything.

We were lucky to have you, Zwill. See you somewhere awful

Good luck Zwillinger - thanks for all the work you put into CoH and the community. I'll miss your weekly coffeetalks - even though I don't drink coffee .

Enjoy your family time and all the best for the future.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Together we entered a city of strangers, we made it a city of friends, and we leave it a City of Heroes. - Sweet_Sarah

Look into being a community manager for Shadowrun: Online if you can. It's being published by a small company called Cliffhanger Studios. The game isn't published yet, but it's got its budget and a pretty friendly online community forming (of which I am a part) as well as having a game or two out their door already (Jagged Alliance, if you've heard of it).

If you could bring there where you brought here... well, it'll be an even more amazing community than it's shaping up to be already

I'm not sure if they're at that stage yet. Just a couple moderators at the moment, but something to keep your eye on.

Dunno if it helps (of if you even like Shadowrun) but there ya go!

In any case. Good luck to you wherever you may land. A lot of forumites had their favorite community manager, and I have to say I think you were mine. You brought an energy to it, and an excitement (and hats) that really got people hyped about whatever was around the next corner.

Thank you!

That post is the first from Zwill in a long time that my brain didn't read in Lumpy Space Princess' voice. I'd be depressed if I wasn't so hungry. I can't even muster up the energy to protest that we're all the family that he needs. Must drink more coffee - it's *like* food...

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Never a goodbye, but always a 'see you around'. No matter where we all end up, I hope to run into you again. Thanks for always being there, and the best of luck and well wishes to you, your family, and your future.

See you on the pirate server in December--erm--I mean, been a pleasure and happy trails! XD

Goodbye we will miss you

Thanks, Andy. You did a great job and you took the job to the next level, which is a rare thing in a community manager. I've been doing this since Island of Kesmai back in the day so I've seen my share of "community management" over the last couple of decades. You topped them all. Be proud of it.

Good luck. Watch out for the English.

Thank you, sir, and fare well.
