    Hey, everyone. I'm writing this to inform you that I'll be taking an official and indefinite hiatus from Lake Valor.

    I've given nine years of my life to all the different iterations of LV, including PGEF. It's been an amazing experience and I've gotten to know so many great people. Unfortunately, I'm tired and burned out. I don't have the energy or time that LV needs anymore. While there's a good chance I'll return in the future, my activity has been low for a while, and I'm lacking motivation. You'll likely still see me around Discord or occasionally on the forums, but I won't be participating in any staff activities.

    LV's funds will be transferred to @Vigilance. You guys are in great hands with the staff team we have now, and I trust them to keep LV in top shape.

    Love you guys always!
    Ryan

    I'll miss you! But I understand you must do what's best, and people have given you a lot of trouble too.

    Best of luck!

    Hey man, I hope you enjoy your hiatus! We will take good care of the Lake while you're gone. Let's definitely make a cute farm on Stardew Valley sometime!

    You've done a lot of good here and we all appreciate the foundation you have placed here for all of us. Take care, my dude!

    I've already cried away all my tears earlier, so I can't shed any right now
    It's sad to see that you'll be having to pass on the torch, but a young and naïve guy like me wouldn't really understand that all too well, especially with how much energy I naturally have. But... nothing great lasts forever, not even if we want it to.
    Thank you so much for making this community and caring for it as well as you have done. You created a place for people to connect and find people who are like them. You've made a place to throw away our fears and be who we are. If Vigil has even half of that spark, then this site will keep burning with the passion of a thousand suns.
    Thank you so much for everything, Ryan. And to the years of peace and rest ahead for you.
