I would like to announce my retirement from NS Sports, effective today. There are several factors, such as the lack of spark right now, but also in having won all of the competitions I wanted to win, there is nothing more for me to accomplish at this point. Plus, as a couple people know, but I haven't really mentioned on the forum, I am five months pregnant and there are bigger priorities in the future.

Thanks to everyone. I wish you all the best.


Booo. :(

I'll miss my old idols... but yeah, good luck on whatever you'll do from now on! Hope you live a good life. Hopefully you'll pop up one day just to give a chat or something. :clap:

I'd like to thank you for your service on the forums, for everything you've done. Thanks for hosting my first WCQs, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to scorinate a conference last NSCAA.

You'll be dearly missed, and congratulations on your incoming child!
