That's awesome!! Thank you, the description is touching
The only point that could be clarified, but it's not a huge deal, is that I didn't leave voluntarily. Said new community manager publicly "fired" me with no warning. That's my perspective anyway, his side was that there was another applicant for the job of volunteer moderator for the d20 areas which included the CharOp board, and he announced in a thread (without prior consult or head's up) that the other guy got it and I was out of a post.
I was furious at the poor business practices and didn't care about the burned bridge I was leaving behind in calling him on it.
So I said "I'm out. I'm going to BG. If you want to come along, I'd be happy to have you"
