User blog:Planterobloon/Bye.

Hey guys! As you can guess by the title, I... I'm retiring from the wiki, at least mostly. It's been 616 days since I first edited the Temple of Bloon page, and I've really liked this wiki.

In my opinion, the golden age of this wiki has not only passed, it passed over a year ago, at least for me. Those were the days, when there was mainly me, Meta, IBT, ExplodingBanana, and LoATC/Wacky. I may be wrong about Wacky, but it was good anyway. I was also the most active then, checking multiple times a day. I became disillusioned a little around the time Logo joined, as you may know from my Leaving post from, wow, 8 months ago already. I was admittedly immature in that post, and I have really never needed admin rights to have a full experience on the wiki. To be honest, I really don't even want them anymore.

The main reason I'm leaving is that everyone else from that golden age has at least semi-left as well. This is my opinion only, but Meta left due to self-esteem issues about her position, and, well, most of the other users are just gone, having left or become very inactive. The new users are all well and good, but the wiki has become as monotonous as this (in my humble opinion). There are no awful conceptions being produced, but no outstanding ones either, and no one I can truly call friend anymore. I guess I'm just bored and losing interest in BTD (I like Minecraft. What can I say?). Also, according to Wikipedia, I stayed for a little over the average 18 months that most people stay on a site for. I may come back occasionally, but not much.

Really, not much is happening that wasn't happening originally. I've been very inactive for weeks (I think it's weeks, at least) and I have no one to talk to. I feel like a tired old man right now, saying that maybe if I had some spark left I'd befriend the new users, but I would have left soon anyway.

Comment if you want, I'll be looking at that, but after that I'm gone.
