Time to say goodbye - I love you all!!

[Martin]

Okay, I'm feeling mightly lazy today so I'm just going to copy this from my PM:

Okay, I'm not very good at these so here goes. Going to keep it short and sweet.

I've been thinking lately and I've come to the decision that I would like to resign from my role here at Habbox.

I've had an amazing time and it's almost a year ago now that I got given this chance to be a member of General Management at Habbox and it's gone really quick!

Lately something has changed and I don't know what it is, It's probably me getting too old for all of this, but I've come to the conclusion that I'm spending far too much time worrying about Habbox related things when really I should be putting a bit of time aside for me too. It has been an absolute pleasure working with all of you, and whilst I cannot change some peoples opinions about me, I really do have the upmost respect for you all and value you as good friends. I think it's that idea that opinions can't change that causes a problem, since I genuinely can't stand arguments and negative feelings and I'm the kind of person who stays away from such things because of how they make me feel and I just feel that life is too short for resentment and not getting along with people.

From being a Super Moderator, News Manager and Assistant Forum Manager in 2009/2010 to where I am today, the whole journey has been absolutely amazing and Habbox really has played such an important role in my life. As most of you will be aware, I'm not the most confident of people and so having the opportunity to talk to new people and make new friends has been amazing.

I've really enjoyed the role and it's been great being a part of the team and helping to manage the community side of things at Habbox. Whilst there may have been arguments and fallings outs along the way, I do believe we were a good team when at our best and you guys have what it takes in you to really take Habbox forwards and back up where it belongs. I think part of me has lost the initial motivation I had and these days I get really tired and stuff and find that it's all becoming a bit too repetitive and stuff.


Matt, you've been so kind to me over the past few years and I've got to know you so well. You make me laugh/smile so much with the things you come out with and you're just such a genuinely nice person with the kindest of hearts. I hope some day you and Justin bieber get it together or something and that you have a happy life with your pet lemur. Seriously, thanks so much for all the help you've given me from when I was first in the moderation department to now. You have the time for anyone, and you are seriously such a nice guy. I wish you luck with everything and continue doing an amazing job!!

Dan, It honestly feels like I've known you forever, and I'm going to miss all of our chats. I hope some day you get round to making hatbox.com because I think it will be a great success! Whilst I know lately you've been shoved aside in some respects just focusing mostly on staff perms, I can ensure you that you are an important part of the team and I have loved every minute of working with you. You're such a kind person who always has the best interests of others and heart and is always willing to help and work as a team to get things done. You're awesome! Keep up the great work and good luck with everything you do.

David, I've known you for a good while too and it's been great getting to know you. You scare me with the amount of knowledge you have computer wise to the point when I first spoke to you I thought you were a computer yourself. We were great friends and you've helped me through a lot over the past couple of years. It was always lovely speaking to you! I'm sorry that I can be annoying at times and do things wrong and generally act like a moaning douchebag and I know that you always have the best interests of Habbox at heart with everything you do and thats how it should be. Keep up the great work.

Jin, Whilst there have been huge gaps between talking to you due to your work, I've always loved talking to you, and you really are a breath of fresh air. You're extremely comical at times and you're very light hearted and seem like a really fun guy. You scared me at first I admit, however gradually over the years I've gotten to speak to you much easier and it really has been a pleasure.

I want you to understand that I'm not doing this because I dislike Habbox anymore or anything. I love Habbox and as I said- it's been the backbone of my life for a good few years now. I just feel I am getting too old for certain aspects now and am getting to the point where it does become a bit of a chore I guess. Habbox to me is the only fansite I have ever looked at and thats because of its amazing community and amazing people.

One of my reasons for not resigning sooner was the feeling that I would become 'alone' again with nobody to talk to and nothing worthwhile with meaning to do. Habbox has given me the chance to make so many friends and basically feel a bit more normal and it does let you express yourself more.

I came to the realisation this evening that I don't need Habbox anymore to have the main thing I want in life, and that's just to be accepted by someone as a friend away from Habbox and after looking all my life, I have finally found my best friend and that's an amazing thing.

I feel its now time I took a break away from Habbox and concentrated on other things and working on getting my life back on track a bit. I've got the friend I so desperately wanted, and just having them to talk to is now strong enough to eliminate the need for Habbox in my life. That's nothing against the site or you guys, I just need a change I guess.

Habbox can be really stressful sometimes, especially the higher you go I think, and I've cried so much over not getting things right, arguments, feelings and emotions, and it really does get you down sometimes. I don't want it to get to the point where I'm getting a migraine just logging in to Habbox and being confronted by various bad feelings etc, and so I do think its best not only for the good of me, but for the good of Habbox that I resign at this time. I feel like I've done all I can now and the energy within me is just zapped. I know I haven't done things to the best of my ability lately and for that I'm sorry, and like I'm sure whoever gets the role will throw some new life into it and some fresh ideas etc.


Thank you all for everything, I love you all and hope to stay in contact with all of you. There's probably hundreds of things I've missed that I wanted to say, but just know that despite all the crap in my life, Habbox has been the one good thing and its been amazing.

That was the version my limey friends got, however I just want to take a quick moment to thank all of the staff and members here at Habbox for making my journey so amazing. Habbox has THE best community, and everyone here is so friendly and welcoming and its that fact which keeps Habbox as being the best place to be.

I want to thank all of the department managers I've worked with. You've all been amazing and put in so much effort into your departments. It's been fabulous working with you all and getting to know you. I regard you all as great friends and will of course continue to talk to you all! Good luck with everything you do and keep up the amazing work. Sometimes you don't get the recognition you all deserve for the amount of hours you all put in, but I can assure you it's all really appreciated and worth the effort.

I'm going to miss you all a lot, but I leave knowing that things will be looked after well and that the Habbox community will continue to grow stronger.

I would also like to thank all of the members for being so nice and being such a pleasure to work with and get to know. I've made some amazing friends here and ones that I will keep forever which is lovely.

Thanks again to everyone who I've got to know over the past few years, thanks to everyone who gave me opportunities to work in various departments and get to where I am today, and to everyone who talked to me and made me feel not so alone. You're all very special people and I wish you all the very best of luck. I will still browse the forums and stuff, and enjoy Habbox as a member. Sometimes the stress can be a little too much and I'm getting to the age where I have to make some important decisions and stuff and this is one of them. It's hard to let go, but it's time I tried something new and had a bit of free time.

Love you everyone!! xx ove:
