First if all, thanks for being respectful in your post and not trolling. Now to address the point you have raised. I have found over the past year that I cannot make a stable income from my work on PSSD. When I got ill with post-COVID syndrome, I couldn't work on the server any more which meant I had no income. If I had patrons on Patreon maybe this wouldn't be a problem since recurrent payments means a stable income even if I got ill for a while. This just doesn't work anymore and I've discussed this with PSSD admins yesterday and the best option for me is to leave and pursue other jobs for financial stability.
Trust me I'm not threatening that I'm leaving. This time I'm 100% leaving to pursue financial stability elsewhere as discussed with PSSD admins since I really have no other choice. The reason I made this thread is to see whether I should keep consultations open or not. If a lot of people still need me, I'll keep consultations open during weekends.fellow1 wrote: If you have genuine interest in helping people just spend few hours a weekend to answer their questions and stop ''threatening'' with your leaving. if there are doubters or trolls you can ignore them and continue do your thing, but instead you are trying to play a victim position.
However, I'm quitting further PSSD research and brainstorming as well as labrating myself on drug trials. I will also delete my server and quit the forum altogether. So, instead of completely leaving like Ghost and taarn, I will still be around (partially) on weekends.
I hope this clears up confusion as to why I made this thread. I'm not begging for money since I'll be looking for financial stability elsewhere following my other passions in life. I'm also not threatening that I'm leaving since I'm actually indeed leaving albeit partially or completely depending on the outcome of this poll.
