I demoted myself.

The only thing that (in my eyes) justified my admin status was my dedication, I had nothing else to offer, like technical savvyness or whatever, at any time. But since that obviously wasn't "good enough", and because every complaint made me feel personally responsible, I'm resigning. Before I get myself down over "not doing a good job" despite trying my best, and before I post a big fat "Fuck Youuuu" everywhere I go because I'm tired of it.
I know a significant group of you are fine with what I do, but it's mainly about myself having lost the motivation and wanting to keep myself from taking it all too personal and grave. Accusations like that "[the staff] just doesn't care", at times when I really did care, upset me more than they should have, because after all I am of the opinion that it's just a forum and when things don't go superawesomely, there shouldn't be a tantrum anyways. So, by now I actually stopped caring, and I don't think it's appropriate to be an admin then anymore. I'm not saying that I'll never be seen around here ever again, but I do plan on spending more time with fairly different stuff than this forum.
I don't know if the staff gets any more changes, it wouldn't hurt maybe, but I have no real idea about possible candidates or whatever, and it doesn't really matter either.
I had a nice time, actually this community helped me a considerable deal to keep me from derailing completely, but now I think I'll move on.
Hope you appreciate what little visible and "permanent" things I did for this forum (They're not too bad, I think at least. ).

tldr: Bye, you can do without me anyways.

You were always a great admin, but I guess sometimes you just have to move on. I understand that. Goodbye, Paula.

guys lets make me the replacement

*rolls eyes* She didn't leave. She just demoted herself. And the staff doesn't seem overworked enough they would need a new mod.

Well she still has some power

Nice topic name.

It's a tough job leading people. I think you did good. You've got my thanks.
You've made more of an impact than you think.
Hope you find better meaning in your newfound goals  
Good luck.

Wow. I'm really sorry you feel that way. You did an awesmoe job, all the time you were here. This forum... will be different without you. Well, best wishes for your real life. We'll all miss you.

Everyone stop saying goodbye. She's not leaving the forum, just not being an admin anymore

Anyway, I basically have the same thing to say. You did a great job as admin, although... I guess none of the things you did couldn't be done as a mod, so... yeah.

Didn't Miss Paula create the BADGER stuff?

While I agree that you could have been a bit more active, I think what you did was fine. I hope you won't just become one of those "pop in every few months to say hi" kind of people; you're a good person, if more serious than some of the moderators in this forum.

I am disappoint.

No but really I'll miss you (as admin). You were a good admin.

EDIT: Moar eloquently:
It would diminish the dignity of everyone involved were I to say I disapprove of or object to this action, but I will say that I am not happy with it.

Why is everyone saying goodbye and such? Paula didn't say she'd leave, just that she demoted herself.
Anyways, what can I say? You were a good admin. Have fun as a glob mod.

Wow, this came quite sudden for me. I can see your motivation Paula, but that doesn't make me wanna agree with it.

However, if you don't want to be an admin anymore, I will of course respect that. You have no idea how much you did, cus you did a lot behind the scenes too. In fact, you're one of the few who helped me when the forum crashed. Without you, it would've taken me at least twice as much time to get things up and running.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you did as an admin and I hope you will be motivated enough to be a moderator.

I disagree with anyone who said you were a bad admin.
Hope you have a good life!

I don't have much to add. I think you did a great job, of course.

Let me just report your post due to an undescriptive topic title. xD

It's descriptive enough, considering the definition of the word "flounce".
