Hey there everyone. For those who don't know me, I'm SoaringBirds, a player who joined two seasons ago, and became a mod in the same season, and I have played a number of nations here. As those who played last season know, soon after claiming the Apache, I disappeared, no notice, not even a mention in the IRC, just gone. Now I could say any number of excuses, that my workload at work had increased, personal engagements kept cropping up, but they are just that, excuses, and they do not change what I have done. I abandoned you all. I left this sub and it's users, and when I did have time again, everything had changed so much that I was thrown off and did not return. I watched from afar as this sub needed help, and I turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to it. As such, I would like to express my deep regret and apologize to the community for my actions. Even if no one will accept it, it must be done, I gave my word to the community as a moderator and then went back on it without so much as a word, it would be even worse of me to come back without an apology and expect everything to go back to normal. Once again, I am deeply sorry for my actions.
