META: Ace resigns from MGoBlog (via Twitter)
O/U on this thread getting locked for foolishness? 18 minutes?
Good luck to him.
This place is just too dramatic.
I may not have seen eye to eye with Ace on some things, but we both love the winged helmet. That makes us brothers in football.
Good luck in everything, Ace.
Good luck to him. I know plenty of people here hate him, whether that was due to his condition or how he interacted with XM and WD. and their reasons are their own. Just hope what whatever he does after this, he’s happy doing it.
I think you all need to get outside today.
Doctor’s orders?
Godspeed, Anbender.
Just wanted to acknowledge and thank everyone for the kind words here. It's been an amazing ten years and this will always be a very special place to me. I don't have too much to add beyond what I said in the twitter thread. I will say this: the choices to step back and leave were mine alone, and Brian has been quite generous with me upon my exit beyond what I expected or what was required.
I've been reading the site damn near since its inception in 2004 and I'm certainly not going to stop. I'll be around. I can't say how much I appreciate being given the opportunity to become such a big part of this community.
Thanks for the response, Ace - good to hear a word from you on your exit from the staff; and best wishes going forward!
Excited to see what you get up to after this, Ace!
Thank you for what must add up to hours and hours of entertaining reading and insights.
Let us know what your next adventure is if you're inclined to do so, whenever you "round that bend of life."
I wish you all the best with your health and future success.
You’ll be missed on this site, but I’m super psyched to see your future content my man. Best of luck with everything
How do the folks feel about you living them and quitting a job?
Thanks for your concern! My parents are very happy with the direction I'm going. I also don't live with them anymore, since that was always a temporary situation caused by getting one month's notice to move in the middle of a pandemic while my health was in a poor state. I'm living on my own again, it's been a great step.
Best of luck. Your work was killer; I hope that you continue to do M-related writing & podcasting in the future.
Even when I disagreed with Ace, he was respectful with me. I've found that to be the case with Seth and others when interacting with them on this blog, as well. Best of luck, Ace - thanks for the contributions you made to this blog. Hope the current staff is working to pump out the same quality content you produced - particularly during basketball season!
I don't know about all these arguments about who should have been banned or not.
But I do know this:
Something just feels wrong about this place.
I guess the over was the play here.
