I'd better get it off my chest now, before the holidays get so busy that I might forget.

SteamGifts, I think it's time we reevaluated our relationship. Now, let me be clear about this -- it's not you, it's me. I'm afraid the old spark just isn't there anymore I've noticed I'm not giving you the attention you deserve, and... I'm sorry. I really am. But I have to be honest with myself, and with you, and I just feel you deserve better, so... I guess this is the end.

So to cut a long joke short: the end of 2015 also marks the end of my SteamGifts, um, career I'd guess you call it. I've had a blast making random strangers on the Internet happy with gifts in all shapes and sizes, making my own group, being in groups, solving puzzles, making a lame one of my own, playing Santa... but time moves on, priorities change, and I've decided to cut my time on this site short and save the money I've been spending on all those gifts for a better cause. I know, inconceivable, how can there be a better cause than you? Well, turns out, the better cause is me. I know, I was surprised too. :-)

Now, we're not parting on unhappy terms in this time of good cheer. Of course I'm still going to stuff your stockings this Christmas -- update your wishlists now and keep an eye on the forums, you'll thank me later. All pending giveaways will finish in an orderly fashion, and looking at what I've still got, I'm going to go over 500 sent gifts before I'm done. Well... merry Christmas and/or happy holidays in advance, and maybe see you around... you never know!

...are you still here? What, are you waiting for something? You think there's a giveaway here? You're right, of course. Enter at your own risk... it might be dangerous.

I don't blame you, totally understandable. You shouldn't let life's opportunities pass you because of time spent on here. I won't be nearly as kind in my 'Dear John' letter though. Best of luck!!

Goodbye, Nudi. What a pleasant to read farewell letter. I chuckled.
We don't know each other very well, but everything I noticed from you was overall positive and well educated. Best of luck to you, wherever you may roam :)

Well, it's like an old adventurer said... "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

Hopefully we'll see you at the forums sometimes :) You have done more than enough gift spreading, maybe just follow us smaller gifters from the shadows (prod us to the right direction) and talking with your friends ^^ Good and happy life dear Sir and Merry Christmas!

It's definitely not you, I have no idea on whose lists I am! I've only just entered some group GAs after not entering anything for over a year.

Why don't you make ten a little louder, make that the top number and make that a little louder?

It has the same amount of power, all they did was add an additional designation to divide that power.
