I don't know if the string of titles I've had under my name for the last 7 years (writer, editor, mod, global mod, and admin) makes me important enough to warrant one of these threads, but I guess I'm making one anyway.
I stopped playing Magic about 3 and a half years ago, which is well before I left the staff. Last year I sold off all the cards from my collection that were worth anything.
Since then, I haven't really thought about why it is I continued to come here.
Some recent events here have caused me to question that, and I believe it's the same reason I quit Magic. There is a part of this community that is so relentlessly negative that I just don't feel like I want to be a part of it anymore.
I'm still active over on Penny Arcade and boardgamegeek, so anybody that cares to find me over on one of those two sites can probably do so without too much difficulty.

I am no longer on MTGS staff, so please don't contact me asking me to do staff things. :|
I don't like that we're hemorrhaging quality, longtime members. It's bad enough to see them move on because of real life commitments and the like, but to see the community itself and its often toxic nature be the cause - it's a damn shame.
I will miss you Binary. Maybe one day this can be a place you can come back to.

Hate to just QFT something but my first reaction on seeing the thread title and your name under it Binary was 'Brilliant there goes another one /sarcasm'
You will be missed Binary especially down in Rulings.

Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.
Quote from LuckNorris »
ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.

In the rulings forum I've always believed: "If Binary says it's so then it's gotta be so." I later extended this belief to include every factual statement you make about MtG.
Your voice of authority will be sorely missed, Binary.
