Bart,
Since I've known about BBK, I knew that, no matter what happened, you never failed to lead the guild with such a blatant dedication that it still thrives today as you take your leave. The decision you made was difficult, no doubt. Nothing can be harder than leaving under such circumstances. It's sad to see you go, even if we didn't talk much. But, what you're doing now shows how much dedication you have to BBK. RL comes first. Anyone can say this and believe it. But only the truly dedicated GM's could believe it, and be willing to sacrifice their time in the game/their position to both give RL their undivided attention, and do what they think will benefit the guild.
I haven't talked to Char much; I've only met her a few times, I believe. But I don't have a doubt in my mind that you've left the guild in excellent hands.
The mark that you left on the forums - the imprint of undying respect and dedication - will not be forgotten. Looking back, it would be ignorant to deny BBK's success and unity. You lead the guild with an almost unprecedented zeal. In short, your time here has shown that [no matter what], you are one of the best GM's that I've had the pleasure of meeting. I hope that someday, you'll return to the game and the forums. But, please know that you have support from people both inside and outside of BBK.
I wish you the best of luck in RL, Char with leading BBK, and BBK as a whole. It's difficult to lead a guild when the original GM just left, but I'm positive that BBK will find their way through it.
Take care, Mr. Foulsteel.
