So where to start...
I found RuneHQ about 13 years ago while searching for quest guides around 2005 and stumbled across this website, the first edition black and blue front page, original looking RuneHQ. I thought to myself it was really helpful and was a super cool website that one day I hope to join.
Four years later I applied as a Forum Moderator, not expecting anything but wanting to help the website and rid of malicious posts and trolls, I was accepted and became part of the staff. Everyone welcomed me and made me feel at home, helping me and answering all of my questions along the way. I felt part of the family the moment I was accepted, being fired within the first few days by Gene (LOL) just to be brought back because I butted heads with him but ultimately earned his respect for sticking to a decision with proof.
There were some rough moments at times, controversial decisions, certain conversations which were difficult to handle, also RuneHQ coming back from the dead about 3 times while i've been here. It wasn't easy to overcome but we did, as a team and working together.
Something a little more personal and truthful from my behalf...I know there have been times when I may have made not-so-great decisions, or something was said by me that may have either offended or I overstepped my position. I would like to apologize for any of my mistakes i've made along the way. I know I haven't been perfect but i've always had RuneHQ's interests at heart.
It's been a wonderful 9 years with RuneHQ but I believe my time has come to an end. Don't fret though, you have 2 wonderful Admins currently who are amazing at what they do (One of which I hired as a Forum Moderator and have no regrets).
It's been a real pleasure working with everyone throughout the years and i'm glad I did as we built friendships along the way.
As my title states...Every end is a new beginning. A new chapter in RuneHQ and I wish you all the best of luck. I'll still be around but not as your Admin anymore
Sincerely,
Sirius XM
