Goodbye... for now.

Ahoy fellow quick-pirates. Smoosh here. I have something important to say and I hope you read to the end.

We all owe Toastiewaffles the highest gratitude and appreciation. Without Toast possibly none of this would exist.

I requested Speedrun.com to add this game a little over 2 years ago. I never expected the community to grow like it did. It was growing quickly and I could not do it alone. I needed help so I brought on Toast to give me a hand with verifying runs, making rules and just generally maintaining the page.

Well shortly after tragedy struck me and my family's lives. I was gone for months at a time and rarely was able to check the site much less play a video game. The entire time I was gone Toast remained vigilant, verifying runs quickly, handling complaints and request, and creating or managing a majority of the categories and content on the page.

Because of this I have to offer my sincerest thanks and love to you Toast. Without you none of this would exist. You are a true MVP. Everyone involved in this page needs to know they should feel the same. You could have walked away at any point and I'm sure sometimes it was rough. You deserve all the praise in the world from me and this entire community.

So please join me in thanking your host, Toastiewaffles. Without Toast's support all of you would very possibly have no where to post your amazing runs. And they are amazing, I've been paying attention when I've had time.

Thank you to all the runners who made my dream come true of being a real, verified speed runner on a real community, short-lived as my time was. Thank you to speedrun.com for accepting my request for a SOT page, which was started with just one Any% Athena's run. It was a little under 2 hours. Thank you to anyone that supported or helped me and again, most of all, thank you Toast.

For now I have to continue supporting my family and will not be playing SOT or much of anything for that matter. So until next time I wish all of you happy sailing, good luck, have fun and stay safe.

Your former host, Smoosh
