One last thing.

Alch, please, one day when you've just finished a chapter of your new bestseller or sit down to take a break from practicing your instrument, visit Smogon. Look at Pokemon Amethyst, see how far we will have taken it. It won't be the same without you, though. D:

Sucks to see you leave, bro. Your artwork was really something and I love your writing style as well. I can relate to your frustration.

My only regret was that I did not tell you this before you decided to leave. You do good work, and I pray for great success in your future. :'(

Fuckin' hell Alch, your topic change on #battlecapacity sounded more like a suicide note than it did a "hey guys I'm leaving." I got so scared!

Thanks for good memories on #BIRD and the like, though. Drop by every once in a while at least, I'll miss you and your frequent avatar changes. I really hope life works out very well for you!

Leaving?? That sucks. I really enjoyed your art articles over at The Smog. You were such a main integral in bringing art to life there. Seriously, I don't think much of the other articles could compare well to your dedication of teaching people art.

Pester Fate to continue the articles before you leave, so when he comes back, he'll have to do them! And sorry I didn't get to know you well. Cya!

duh man, it's well known that the work:appreciation ratio is whack in online communities. you've got to do stuff because you want to, not to make people like or respect you.

bye man, stick around on irc

Bye Alch :(

Your post in LoA was really something. I'm sorry to see you go.

I don't normally post VMs but I felt I just had to say something.

you were a good dude man

i think smogon's recognition problem has always been its biggest fault. the way people think people should be rewarded is with responsibility and authority. this means some that deserve it will get shut out and some that do deserve it that aren't responsible will ruin the site forever. i wish there were an easier way to tell people "great job!"

the only reason i stuck around Smogon for awhile was because i wanted to get my name in the credits - i wanted to be recorded as someone with an impact on competitive battling... maybe something like that

thank you alchemator :) gl irl

Dang, that was a great post, I can relate :P Anyways, have a great time in life, and good luck!
