Hi guys,

So I’m quitting my role at Gapyear Towers as a content producer and leaving Team GY.

It’s been awesome, but I’m moving on to new adventures and challenges.

Plus, I can’t stand it here any longer.

I’m joking, of course. I love it here. But sometimes it’s the right time to move on. Now, obviously, is that time.

I’ve written a blog about it: http://www.gapyear.com/members/Andy/blogs/72754-saying-goodbye-to-gapyearcom

But I also wanted to post on the boards directly, too.

I just wanted to say I’ve loved working with all the gappers on gapyear.com, and I intend to continue using the site - except in future, I’ll be a GY civilian, not a member of the site law enforcement. I’ve handed in my gun and badge. I have given up my powers.

From now on please direct any ideas for content at my fellow site travel editor and gapyear.com spokesperson Macca Sherifi on .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

My last day is tomorrow. Maybe you’re sad I’m going. Maybe you’re happy. Maybe you’re indifferent. Maybe you’re like, ‘Who the Hell is this guy?’. However you feel, if you’d like to pass on any comments or questions just post on the thread below.

Tomorrow is also my birthday (29), so, you know, you could kill two birds with one stone…

*Prepares for overwhelming indifference*

Predictable, but still amusing.

Aww, you’ll be missed Andy. I’m not surprised you’re leaving Ipswich for Norwich though as it’s my home city and therefore super cool just like me.

Good luck at Further. You’ll probably be working with someone I went to school with (Liam Tarry).

Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Wow, 29 is so old ;)

Andy!

Best of luck in the next job.

I feel attached to this online community and I only ever stop by every couple of months for a natter and cup of tea. You live it everyday so I can imagine how you feel…

Anyway.

Onwards to pastures a new!

Take it easy.

Darren.

Right on!

Cut me open and I bleed gapyear.com.

I don’t know what colour that is, though, because we keep changing the logo…

Later, dude.

Did they sack you for failing to implement smileys on the boards?

I fought for smileys, Lunny. I did everything I could.

In the end I said, “Fix the smileys or I’m leaving.”

They called my bluff.
