Don't hate me for saying this, but I won't sign it.

W1zzard says he has had enough and wants to step down. We should respect his decision. Let him go. Release him.
I am sure that he didn't rashly make such a big decision like this just because he woke up on a wrong side of a bed.
I am also sure that he has through about it many times before coming to his final decision. Though it might be true that the 480 GTX review might have pushed him into this sorrow decision, I'd say that it was only a tip of iceberg compared to what has been building up in his mind.

I bid him fare well and wish him good luck, and that's all I feel that I should do.

So, W1zzard, good luck, dude. Taking a break from the Internet is perhaps what we all should do.

Yeah guys like he said a petition isn't going to do anything here. A better use of your time would definitely be a "Thanks for everything" e-card.

Can't we all just grab a couple keg's get a couple bottles of Jagermeister and get drunk? Celebrate the man!

It hurts losing one's guru... one's idol...

Heaven knows how much I, together with the majority here, wished that this had been just an awesomely good Aprill 1st...

It hurts to say an 'adieu'... we'd all have preferred a 'see ya'... but as you wish Boss, :toast:

As long as you're happy, wish you all the best of success. :rockout:

I'm down with that idea :toast:

Good luck w1zz and thanks for this great place that we know as TPU :respect:

carn't we arrange something? there must be something we can do, instead of pleading for him to stay something to show our appritiation for what he and everyone else involved in creating tpu has done for us. If it wasn't for them half the people here wouldnt be anywhere near as well educated and into tech as they are, i myself wouldnt have the ability to be able to build the rigs i own. I think this thread should be redirected towards showing our appritiation for wizzard and our best wishes to his future. Not pleading invain for him to stay.

We're not.
Unless the new ownership deiced it's a good idea to give someone else the handle "W1zzard".

Then the bullets go back and the bloodbath begins.

I guessed as much and included a reference for you.

Anyway I'm still bummed w1zzard is leaving, hopefully whoever takes over has as much to share with us as w1z and I hope this forum doesn't die because then I'd have to go to tomshardware or something and I hate that place.

Yes it's pimp. We have blue, red, pink ribbons, badges, etc. I'll wear this one for a bit to show appreciation.

Edit: Thanks for all of your contributions and hard work chief!
