Rest in peace, amp316 - away from all trolls and troublemakers that tread these quarters. Your contributions will not be forgotten.

 


These are sad times indeed. We are kind of running low on site legends around here...

Indeed, it is now up to you brave |||THE1||| to man up and take a seat amongst these legends and lead on! We are all counting on you, oh New Comer of 2013!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Goodbye amp. Never got to talk to you but you seemed like a good guy. The vgchartz history book has another name written in it. We will remember him.

All evidence points to a sudden decision. By the time I got to his profile, his wall post was six minutes old. The PM I received was four minutes old at that point. So he made his peace on his wall, sent me a PM and banned himself.

Needless to say, I feel very special.

Well, you should. Amp, I could tell, was having fatigue towards the site. It was only a matter of time, sadly...

But I still find it shocking and saddening that he had to leave. I had become quite friends with him (well, as close as "friends" as you can get on VGC) and he just that humor stroke everyone once and awhile that would catch you off guard! He was good guy, and hopefully he'll come back like that certain someone in his avatar!



And it had to be today of all days? The day where Nintendo Fans can rejoice for Nintendo has brought news of our consoles!

Man, I sure hope he enjoys today's conference.



ok so what happend for him to leave?

Can't really blame him: I think we've all wanted to take lengthy breaks at one point or another. Hopefully it's just a breather...



Thats a damn shame.


"That being said, some of you guys really need to chill out and realize that there are real people with real feelings behind the avatars." 


Is that directed at the mass fanboy group or someone said something specifically about him?

It's directed at the people who constantly complain about getting moderated. You can look up amp316's full post on his wall. Basically, I removed the first paragraph of his post, because it was specifically directed at one person while the rest was more of a general statement and explanation why he was going to leave.

Do you really think it's that simple?

Everybody, look inward and ask yourself if you continually contribute to an environment that seems to be chasing away so many people.  These last 4 or 5 months have pushed me to the limit more than once.  The community managers want an active and engaged community, which I could imagine would be hard to moderate with any sense of satisfaction.

I didn't really know amp, but he sounds like the kind of guy that I would've gotten along well with here.  We're even close in age.  Maybe we're outgrowing this ...



This really sucks. Amp was unquestionably one of my very favorite members on this site.



You will certainly be missed amp :(.
