I have some disheartening news for most visitors (including the moderators), and will probably come as a surprise to many. I ask that folks here read it with an open mind.
All good things...I'm going around to certain forums of the more popular sites we host and provide a link to this, as I don't have recent/active Email addresses for everyone. And in some cases (like NESWorld), I want to be as open and up front as possible.
There are a lot of reasons (some financial, many personal) for my decision, but I ask that folks be as respectful of it as much as possible. I know it will be a stressor, as change this big often results in shock and disappointment or frustration, but please understand that it's something that I have been thinking about for the past 6 months and finally came to a decision. Making that decision was one of the most difficult things I've had to do in my entire life.
If you have any comments/concerns/etc. that you'd rather not voice publicly, contact me here (or via any of the mentioned means) and I'll do my best to answer.
Remember: keep your chins up -- it's not the end of the world.

(Footnote for mods: feel free to split this, sticky it, change it to an announcement, or whatever -- I'm not sure what gets the most coverage)
