At the writing of this post I am a moderator and the second highest ranking contributor on this site.

I'm leaving the network. I've requested to have my accounts deleted and want to move on with my life. I no longer enjoy this network. Not so much this site, but Stack Overflow and Meta Stack Exchange.

I am leaving this note here, as there's so many lovely people here and I owe them an explanation. With James not wanting to sign the new moderator agreement, the site will only be left with one moderator. James losing mod privileges Sept 7

I was a founding member of this community and it has been interesting. I no longer believe in the ethos of the company and I do not like how the Meta sites are run on Stack Overflow and Meta Stack Exchange. Very little has changed since I first joined the network in 2012 despite having a rigorous Code of Conduct. It seems to be applied subjectively. I also do not want to continue making voluntary contributions to a site that makes money off the back of those contributions and does little to support the contributors.

I hope you and all your pets are healthy and safe during these strange global times.

Thank you for giving me the honour to serve you on this site, it's been a pleasure.

My YouTube account is temporarily hidden as I have been faced with a legal suit and need to protect our interests (nothing to do with the network). When that is over, I will unhide it and the people who follow me on there can contact me through the comments.

Take care xx
