My add-ons and my retirement

[Snog]

Effective at the end of this month, I will be retiring.

For those that don't know, I'm in my mid 60's and I made this decision after some long thought about what the result would be if something unexpected should happen to me. I have to be realistic about the fact that the time I have left is far less than the time I've been on earth.

So, I've decided to pass my add-ons on to the most capable hands of Ozzy47. He will handle support and updates for all of my add-ons.

For now, all of my add-ons will remain on snogssite.com, but Ozzy will have full control of them and the site. That should make the transition easier for those that have licenses for my premium add-ons and nothing will change so far as where and how you download them. And they will remain available for purchase there. I will also remain available to Ozzy in the event he has any questions.

I will also respond to questions asked directly to me until the end of the month. After that, all questions should be asked to Ozzy.

With that I'd like to thank everyone, and say that it's been an honor and privilege to have served the XF and vB communities for all these years.

Thanks for everything, Oz, and thanks for letting us know, rather than just suddenly disappearing on us. Good luck with the retirement and hope you fit some fun in your now not-so-busy schedule. And just because you're retired doesn't mean you can't ever come around....

Enjoy your retirement!

 

[Matt C.]

Thank you for being an integral part of this community, and may you enjoy your well deserved retirement.

Wow, one more senior dev leaving the community. What a sad day.

Will you be still around and check XF from time to time or will you completely leave the scene?

Nice of you to think of the customers and passing the flag to @ozzy47 . Good luck to both of you, one finishing the "run", one starting it.

Thanks for your services for all those years. You will be missed.

I'll still be around because I do own a normal forum. But I may change my name for obvious reasons.

What a nice post. Thank you for being responsible, @Snog. You sure will be missed as a dev, but enjoy your retirement. Wish you all the best.

@ozzy47, I'm glad you'll take over Snog's add-ons and I hope we'll cooperate well. Wish you all the best too.

 

[Steve F]

Hate to see you go @Snog but completely understand. Thanks for the great well supported Advanced Forms add-on, it’s been an integral part of PE for years now!

Good luck to you and @ozzy47

Well over the years I have purchased one or two mods from @Snog or should I rather say my forum has been powered by Snogs mods for many years. From myself and my community will sure will miss you. As I expected you once again exceeded your commitment to your customers by finding someone to take over your work. I am also sure we can expect the same level of service from @ozzy47 as we have had over the years from you.

Thank you once again Snog for all you have put into XenForo with your ad-ons

 

[DarkGizmo]

Thanks for all the work you've done @Snog for the Xenforo community. Enjoy your retirement!

 

[Mr. Jinx]

Sad to see you go, but the way you do this should be an example for all developers leaving the community for whatever reason.
Great to see that you took the time to handover all your work.

 

[RobinHood]

But I may change my name for obvious reasons.

Thanks for giving us 30 days notice, plenty of time to get a few last snogs in before you leave

All the best with the retirement and I’m glad you found someone to take stewardship of you add on collection

 

[Miacommunity]

@Snog You are a programmer, an internet lover and people like you and like us never really retire.
Think again.

I'll still be around because I do own a normal forum. But I may change my name for obvious reasons.

i think it was going to be more cool to share your forum too ... will miss you every time we see your work.!!

All the best for your retirement @Snog !
Enjoy it!

@Snog Thank you for your work and enjoy your well deserved retirement. Being over 70 myself there comes a time when your time is more important. The slide down hill after 50 goes faster than the climb up unfortunately LOL

 

[Finexes]

Thank you @Snog and enjoy your retirement!

Sorry to see you go, but all good things must come to an end.

Thank you for the awesome thread starter add-ons, and the support you have provided for them. I look forward to seeing their future development in the capable hands of @ozzy47

Enjoy retirement!
