Glad you will still be around though man.
Aye, getting back to just having fun before you get burned out is the key (something a lot of people have had problems with). While it may have its fair share of problems, this is still an awsome game and I'd hate to see you get completely burnt out while helping us all out.

Wow, it's like the end of an era. Words simple cannot express what you've done for this profession and the DE community as a whole. From the "break-downs" to the co-founding of DENet you've been a hard core DE since the old, dark days. You've gone from forum rebel to correspondent and excelled at everything in between. I simply don't think there's any way to thank you for all you've done, so I'll simply say:
/bow

You will always be one of the best in my book! Thanks for all the work you do for the DE profession, something that i have followed since this game came out.

Not likely. After supporting like 5 toons at the same time, even that got old. I'll probably have 2 toons. Ahazi and maybe (occassionally) Starsider.
Starsider? Who?? /ponder
In any event, It's been great to know you've done a wonderful job, and hope to see you around every now and then.
You've been a wonderful help to fellow DE's with your thoughts, both in regards to the profession, and with the fellow correspondents and team/game developers.

Fellow DEs,
After considering this for awhile, I've come to the decision that it's nearing time for me to 'pass the tools'. ...
/eye_stear_upI must sayIam sorry to see this post. but iunderstand fully your choice and(from the looks of it) weall support you. best of luck in ALL your indevers.
... (since I find it unpalatable that we be without a current Corr. for any period of time)....
This isa fine example of why you make a good Corr. Thank you for being willing to hold out for a fellow comunity leader to take the "torch".
(I refuse to say replacement you cannot replace Sintrosi orDrashk and no one can replace you each Corr. leaves a mark all there own)
... While it wasn't an easy decision, ...
I doubt it could have been.
... The many veterans (too many to name....you all know who you are) have been invaluable in answering posts, bringing up ideas, helping to tweak things and generally carry the droid lube. ...
I think thats the great thing about this boardnine times out of ten we all start out with someing we dont all like. but ass a team/comunity we shape it and mold it in to something we canall enjoy. This is reason #2 that I love beinga DE (right behind the profesion itself)
In parting (to keep it short, for once), I want to say that it's been my extreme honor and pleasure to serve you....the best profession community that exists in SWG (and has been suchfor some time).
no .. no .. no .. it was a pleasure to serve and help you good sir.
/bow
Never more respectfully,
may good things happen to you and all you days be happy.
P.S.
you BETTER stop in a check on us after you leave 
also (no to be rude just wondering) how long befor you "pass the tourch" at firstI thought that this was it .. but sounds like your gona be around for a month or so yet 
YAY that would begood to "make the transiton smoother" if not I undersand that too.

Are you approaching burnout because this Ole Commando keeps stalking you with DE Questions?
Seriously though...It goes without saying that TK has be an INCREDIBLE Correspondent and will be sorely missed...My alt Master DE wouldn't be half the Crafter he is today if it wasn't for his excellent posts and research...I have much of his Analysis posts of different modules bookmarked and visit them often...
I'm glad he'll still be around for my stalking purposes...Remember, Correspondents don't die, they just become Blue Glowies...

Sorry to see ya go, TK. I was always impressed with how articulate you were, and also how you always had a big-picture perspective on each issue. If you're gonna make occasional appearances on Starsider (dunno if you'll be a DE there or not), stop by RippenCo Droids on Naboo sometime, I'll get ya started with a shiny new combat droid.
You're all clear kid, now let's blow this thing and go home!

No TK? A bit of a shock. I'm sure though whomever you recommended would be good for a replacement. (Let'skidnap DrashK and force him into it.)
I myself would love a chance at your position, but sadly may be making some major changes in my own life which would result in a 2 month absence from the game. (Don't ask me how I'll survive it.)
You did a good job TK, this community is going to miss you. (And your work has helped me to not be the DE troll I've oftened dreamed of being. haha)

We're a demanding bunch, and you've really always been on top of things and ready to answer our questions, TK. You've been a great correspondent.
However...admit the truth. You just want the blue glowie tag.

I too am sorry to lose you as a Corr. I think you have in deed raised the bar along with our collective voices to the devs. Glad you are wise enough to realize when enough is enough and get out before the mental damage starts.......oh wait...you ARE a DE...too late for most of us on this point i guess
All kidding aside TK I have enjoyed talking with you and meeting you. Good luck in all your endeavors.
(guess i have to worry less about the correspondent and more about the competition now huh?)

TK, sorry to see you go as corr. but glad you are doing what will turn out to be more fun for you as a chance to lay back and smell the flowers so to speak. Ive been very impressed with your dedication as a corr. especially in the JTL beta boards. Will be hard to fill your shoes.

Wow, I'm not sure what to say at this point. Most everything already has been said. You've given alot to and for this profession, and I'm glad you'll be able to stick around afterwards(instead of completely burning out). I've also really enjoyed visualizing you carrying a droid arm in one hand and a list of DE concerns/ideas etc. into the Correspondent forum...
