You incited some impressively long news threads :toast:. (And did that not manage to interest some people in news they would otherwise not read?)

Indeed. That gets lots and lots of page hits for TPU and their advertisers, but that doesn't seem to matter to some people.

Yeah, whatever. I can help some other site make money that appreciates my talents more.

People may be wondering why my username name no longer appears in purple. I'd just like to let fans of my news articles know that it's because I've quit writing news for TPU. There were a few differences with management and my hobby stopped being fun and rewarding so I decided that it was time to call it a day and return to being a regular member.

I don't regret having done this for a minute though and I'd like to thank you all for being such a great audience and making it all worthwhile. I gained some experience in writing news stories and loved interacting with you in the forum following a news post. :toast:

same thing happened to me... hence why i stopped doing reviews. :) that and the management didnt like the angle i had with my reviews. whatever though.

Anything other than "bye qubit, I [verb]ed you" attracts infractions like a black hole.

i didn't ask for a flame sesh but besides that... why say "bye"? he's not leaving... he just decided to not be part of tpu staff any longer. if anything, he's giving a simple explanation of why he made his decision. others can learn from this... in what way, that's up to how you read between the lines.

qubit's a good guy and i stand behind his decision.

He is leaving from the news team. Thank you for your comprehension help. Of course he's not leaving the community.

Because of his character, because he has been friendly and respectful toward people regardless of his status at TPU, and because of his valuable contributions to us the users of TPU, I have a stronger allegiance to and regard for qubit than I do for TPU itself. I could only say that for one other member of TPU. Only self-discipline keeps me from going further.

Thank you qubit for the things mentioned above.

This is the Qubit's not posting news anymore thread, not the troll Qubit because he's not posting news anymore thread.

Show some self worth, people.

Also, good luck with your future endevours, Qubit. Keep this in mind. Steam is not a walled garden and the First-Sale Doctrine does not apply to software yet!
