slawtiger 35 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I was a huge fan of the Auburn Eagle boards and then it merged. Frankly, I didn't really care for it that much. However, you were one of the reasons why I always came back to this site to glean your posts along with a few others. I too wish you well. You will be missed.

ellitor 33,093 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I am checking in because someone DMed this thread to me on twitter. For all intents and purposes I am retired from posting on al message boards save for a couple things I plan to do. I started the 2016 recruiting thread on another site so I am going to fulfill that commitment and post updates in the OPs there when commits or targets change. I have no other types of interactions there. There are people here that can verify that. There other thing I plan to do so I can walk away from here easier is I will create an All Things Auburn Recruiting Info center thread when I have time. It will have the best free places to get AU recruiting info like twitter accounts and free recruiting chats by Keith N. That way everyone will at least have access to most of the places I use to get info. When I create that thread and 2016 NSD arrives I will be completely retired from all message boards For those wondering why I am retiring here are the reasons why. I have to make changes on my time and priorities. I'm tired of not accomplishing the things I need to in life and to accomplish those things I have to and will give this up. I will go back to school to finish my degree, get a good job, get a home (tired of living in apartments), learn to drive through a special disability program, and find a sweet southern gal to spend the rest of my life with. That takes a lot of time and energy. This part is not directed at anyone. I put unhealthy value on myself to bring AU recruiting info to the fan base.At times it felt like that was the only thing in my life worth while. I am not responsible for the recruiting knowledge for AU fans. Premium info info is readily available now with in hours or days due to twitter, some free articles, and multiple free chats weekly by Keith through periscope via twitter. You don't have to have twitter to watch the chats either. In the past I have spent whole days gathering, summing, and posting info as well as answer questions on here and AU SECR. Believe it or not 4-6 hours would be an average day of my time spent on recruiting. It was a huge part of my life but I realize now it does not benefit me at all in the big scope. Just got to learn how to do everything in moderation. Somethings should be done more completely. Like keeping unsolicited personal advice to yourself. Not in my personality. It' almost all or nothing with me. It's either post when I learn something new plus read everything on a forum and reply when I have an opinion or read nothing spending the 4-6 hours a day saved from not doing the former, to focusing on and bettering my real life. Easy choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I don't think the do everything in moderation comment was meant as a mean comment. I think the poster was basically telling Ellitor that if you don't go overboard you can still do the other things Ellitor mentioned and still participate on the board. Ellitor responded that that he is an all in type of guy and can't change who he is. I said it earlier Ellitor but it is worth saying again thanks for all you have done and may the path you have chosen lead to success and happiness.
