Taking a step back

[j03]

Katie, it's a sad moment to see this happening but your health and life in general always comes before this stuff.

I just want to acknowledge some of the amazing contributions you brought to the community. You've never been one to pick sides based on popularity or material - with fair judgement, you've always picked the right side. Our community marketplace has always been the best of quality thanks to your help in developing our standards/regulations and enforcing them over the years. Without you, I truly believe over most of everyone trading would not be as happy nor feel safe doing so.

But with all of that aside, I will always respect you for the person you are. You've always been around to help people in the Real Life Situations forum section. There have been countless posts about users having a rough time in their life, feeling depressed, etc. among other situations. You've always been there to help, and always with the right words. I believe you've made a difference in a bunch of our users' lives, perhaps saving some. Something to consider... I'll always appreciate and respect this about you.

Also, one of the greatest Neopets players to join this forum.

Thanks for everything, and for being there for me when I needed it.

We'll miss you, Katie. Best wishes in everything.

Katie, you have been such an integral part of the community during pretty much my entire time here. I am sad, but at the same time, I completely understand your choice. Great White North summed up exactly what I was thinking.
Take care of yourself and your cubs, Mama. <3 We love you!

Take care of you and yours first and foremost! It sounds like this is the best decision for you right now even though we are sorry to see you go. Your mental health and wellbeing are much more important! I'm sure it wasn't easy to decide this, but it sounds like it's for the best!

You've been a great mama bear to us all here at cK. Thank you for that, and thank you so much for your work in keeping this community safe, Katie! <3 And for the difference you've made to people on a personal level too! I'm sure people here appreciate it a lot more than you know.

Safe travels out there in real life, and best wishes to you, too. I'm sure you know you always have a place to come back to here on this forum

I enjoyed seeing you a bit more since joining staff last year and definitely sad to see you go, but putting yourself and loved ones first is always the most important!
