[edit]A little under a month from now, my first edit will have been eighteen years ago. that's long enough to raise a child. I feel like that's enough.
Over the last several months there have been several changes in my life, and for a while there I simply did not have the time for this. I kind of have the time now, but find I've lost the enthusiasm. I still believe in this project and it's goals and wish everyone the best, but I'm probably done being a regularly active editor.
It isn't any one thing, I just had to take a break, and the longer that break has gone on the more I feel like I am ok with it being more of a permanent thing. I may still make small edits here and there but my "power user" days are over. Beeblebrox Beebletalks 18:00, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Holy hell, are you breaking up with us?!?

- And over text messages, no less! ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:08, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- And right on the heels of being dumped by Floq as well. Can't catch a break these days.-- Ponyobons mots 18:11, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

- It's great to hear that you feel like you have more free time than previously, because that's important in life, and I hope that you're already using it for something more fulfilling for you. Wishing you the best of luck and appropriate amounts of fun for the future. —Alalch E. 23:21, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Even if just the occasional visit, hope we'll still see you around from time to time. I certainly wish you the best going forward in whatever you do in the future. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:00, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
- will miss you! but I hope you find that enthusiasm again in whatever comes next for you

- I'll miss you, but do what's best for you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:40, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Good luck in your future endeavours, wherever they may take you! isaacl (talk) 22:02, 13 July 2025 (UTC)\
- No doubt a wise decision Beebs. You've done more for this project than most, and will be leaving it a better place than it was before. Good luck with whatever you find yourself doing, and Illegitimi non carborundum. AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:24, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Damn. Have fun off-wiki. But, damn. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:32, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry to read this, but I do understand. I took a year off and at the time did not expect to be back. We will leave the light on and the welcome mat out when you are ready. In the meantime, enjoy all the free time. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:55, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks everyone here and at BN for your kind words. Beeblebrox Beebletalks 21:17, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:04, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- If you get around to it, you may want to remove the administrator userbox on your userpage, now that it's no longer accurate. Useight (talk) 15:23, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- It's a hard place to leave completely; I suspect/hope we'll still see you around from time to time. Good luck with your other pursuits, and cheers. You were one of the good admins/arbs. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:41, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
- Echoing what Floque just said, it really is a hard place to leave completely and you'll be very much missed. I tried for two full years but it didn't work. I've been pretty much put out to pasture by the new generations though but I still follow a few things. Looking at the lineup for this year's scramble for the two community seats on the BoT election, while the contenders all mean well, apart from a couple it's more like a modern quest for takers for Arbcom. I'm sure though that you will turn out to vote, so if you do, here's my take on it, and I make no apology for canvassing. Best, Chris. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:56, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- I realize I am late to this party but I couldn't miss an opportunity to thank you for all you've done for Wikipedia; editors and its readers alike. Your countless hours of volunteerism have helped to spread free knowledge, made the community a better place to edit, and enriched the lives of many - only a small portion of them represented here - with your friendship, good humor, and willingness to do what you felt was right even when it was inconvenient. Like Seraphim and Floq have already said (and characteristically better and in far fewer words) I hope our paths will cross again. All the best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:35, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
Admin cats
[edit]I noticed that your userpage was still in several admin categories, such as Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to consider placing self-requested blocks. I took the liberty of removing them, since they could cause confusion. I hope that's OK. JBW (talk) 20:29, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
I was sorry to see you go, as I have always thought you were one of the best administrators, but you've put in good service, and nobody can be expected to keep going forever. Thanks for your contributions. JBW (talk) 20:33, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
