Author Topic: I have retired from site staff (Read 14326 times)

Folks,

As of today, I am no longer a geekhack.org staff member. As you might have noticed, I have not had the time in the last 10 months or so to be as active as the site deserves. Because of new obligations, I am no longer able to reliably perform staff duties and hence have chosen to pass the torch back to iMav. I want to thank everyone in the community for their support during my time in site management; it's been hectic and fun, but it's time for me to move on from working on geekhack.org. So, right, thank you everyone!

I will be roaming around, but significantly less available. Please direct all staff inquiries to site moderators and/or iMav.

-kawa

Wish you the best Mkawa, hopefully you'll still post and hangout bud.

Ming is a large reason this community still exists. He is to be commended for his efforts!

I've pretty much retired from the forums, but wanted to throw in and say thank you for jumping in those years ago, the work, the dedication, the inspiration and the friendship.

Very few people know the full extent of Mkawas involvement with GH. RESPECT

Never got to speak to you personally but I feel like I owe you a heartfelt thank you ! People can say what they want to say but I think GH is an amazing place for someone who loves keyboards and keyboard related shenanigans ! So thank you mkawa for all you have done and enjoy the next chapter of your life

I ope to still see you around

Sorry to hear you're stepping down Mkawa, I wish you all the luck in the world in your future endeavors....will geekhackers still be operational, or will that be on halt too? I hope you'll still be able to come to future keycons if your schedule permits.

mkawa · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 04 July 2015, 20:35:13 »

geekhackers has to fill its remaining obligations before i make any long-term decisions about it. in the meantime, the 951sxe will be continually available, i will attempt to keep soldapullts in stock, and possibly a few more items as i work out drop-ship fulfillment for them or i can work out the logistics of batch production and packing (eg, handy soldering tools kit or krytox variety kit). i am also going to start keeping edysn iron tips in stock for the folks humming along with their cl1481s and 951sxes.

oh, and there will be PCBs.

yah, so i guess it's not going away anytime soon.

You're a great guy and definitely an asset to this form. You've always found time to respond to my PMs in a detailed manner. You will be missed!

lekashman · « **Reply #21 on:** Tue, 07 July 2015, 13:48:50 »

It was a pleasure working with you for the brief time that I did and I wish you all the best. You're one of the most amazing makers in the community and I'm definitely looking forward to what you do next!

HoffmanMyster · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 07 July 2015, 14:01:59 »

Sad to see it in writing. I hope you know how appreciative we are for your efforts, and your dedication over the years. You will be missed.

Thanks for teaching me about pizza when we first met in Chicago. I'll never forget it.

Good luck with your current and future endeavors. You're the closest thing I've had to a mentor here on GH.

Just saw this. Thanks for all your work for this site over the years. I don't think most people realize the real people behind the scenes that make the forum happen.
