Slowpoke has chosen to leave Popedia

I'm not sure if @slowpoke1993 had planned on making a farewell post. Sorry if you had wanted to keep your departure on the downlow, but after having known you for several years and after all that you have done for our forum, I can't let you leave without saying something.

Slowpoke informed me earlier this afternoon that he won't be returning to Popedia. As you may know, he decided to take a long break from the forum back in February, as he was starting a new job and he understandably wanted to dedicate more of his time into focusing on his career. The reason why Slowpoke is leaving is because with having a new career, he has a lot going on in his life and he wants to stay away from the outlets which could be too much of a distraction. 

I've known Slowpoke for five years; I first met him when I joined the other forum back in August 2016. Since then, he has become one of my closest online friends. Slowpoke was a member of our moderator team. The other staff members could back me up on this, but he made a huge amount of contributions to Popedia. The Popedia Archive wouldn't exist if it weren't for Slowpoke; to format the topics in chronological order of when they were created, he actually developed a code which made that possible. The "ignore thread" code/plug-in was also developed by him. He did a lot of work behind-the-scenes.

I hope this isn't the last time we hear from you. Take care.
