parting is such sweet sorrow

It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing the “retirement” of Titanium from paheal.

Paheal is many things. It is a collection of porn, a disturbing armpit of the internet, it is a great community, a close-knit society of like minded individuals who are as weird and wonderful as the content they upload and it is a place where the rights of the artist are upheld in a friendly and timely manner. But paheal would be absolutely nothing without one man.

My relationship with Titanium started many years ago when the site was still in its infancy. A regular on the IRC he always seemed to have intuitive and intelligent suggestions on how to deal with site matters and he did more than his fair share of tag fixing and reporting. He was a natural fit for moderation. Over the next 4 years he became someone that I relied heavily on, someone the community relied heavily on. He shared my outlook on how to treat artists and he contributed way too much of his own time to make our community run as smoothly as it could. I felt I gained more than a moderator, I gained a valued friend too.

But all good things must come to an end and Titanium has informed me that he will be stepping down and moving away from the site as, due to personal reasons, he cant contribute any time to the site anymore.

I’m sure you will join me in wishing Titanium nothing but the best for whatever the future holds for him and thanking him from the unfathomable depths of my heart for all the tireless selfless work he has done to make paheal what it is.

For me he is paheal.

Thank you so much Titanium and good luck.
