Hello everyone. After 12 years, it is time for me to leave Geometry Dash to pursue other opportunities. I will be stepping down from all my Moderator positions, no more videos will be uploaded, my projects will be passed on, and my Discord server will be closed, all within the next days. Since I will no longer interact with the channel, I have decided to pause comments on every video to preserve discussions. Note that I will be leaving the community entirely, so I will not stick around in any private spaces related to Geometry Dash either. Over these years, I have dedicated basically my entire life to this game. I started out creating levels myself for a couple years, but soon moved on to showcasing community levels and hosting community events. Seeing people be excited about a new contest or even just because I showcased and reviewed a cool level, and sometimes helped it get rated, became the reason I stuck around actively for this long. The community projects include 8 GD Awards, 9 Viprin Creator Contests, 9 Gauntlet Contests, 2 Icon Contests, 26 Discord Server Contests, 5 Mini Creator Contests, the Sparky bot, the GD 10-Year Anniversary (GD10) video, and more recently the 2.2 Sneak Peek, the NCS collaboration and other Artist Reveals, as well as setting up Event Level songs and creators (with many still in progress) and picking Gauntlet Levels. There are also resources like the new Editor Guide and other documents, in addition to the Geometry Dash FAQ site. While I enjoyed all of these in their own way, I would say that GD10, which took place in August 2023, is my favorite. It was incredibly fun and fulfilling to gather so many talented people to create an amazing video for the community for the anniversary, and the following reception was unlike anything we could have imagined. Thank you to everyone who helped or watched. Since then, I kept going for a few years due to everyone's support, even though I have been feeling more and more demotivated to work on Geometry Dash. Now, I believe it is the right time to call it. I wanted to finish my megacollab "Astra" as one final project, which was previewed on my channel before, but I do not want to force it when I am not motivated to create. Floppy, who has helped me in all my recent megacollabs, will be finishing and publishing it. He deserves to get this one, and I hope you will show it love. Thank you to everyone who has supported any content I contributed to throughout the years. Special thanks to all of the Members of the channel (and Subscribers over on Twitch), as your monetary support gave me the ability to pay for my personal events' prizes and editing, as well as for my thumbnails. The consistent, clean style was all thanks to the talented artist Erdyuri. I would also like to thank Floppy, Arb, and all other players and creators who reached out and gave me recordings of great levels to upload. It was not possible for me to do all of them, but I am glad you even considered my channel for it. And of course, huge thanks to RobTop for giving me the opportunity to do a lot of sick stuff in this community. Finally, thanks to rafer who drew this post's art. The events described above would not be what they were without this great community's talent and engagement, and I believe things will only get better for you as the game gets more popular. I will always be fond of the game and its community, likely checking in from afar from time to time. Farewell.

Viprin retirement is something i never expected to happen anytime soon. This hits close to RobTop retiring and i'm not even joking. You've been one of the main figures and biggest creators in this community for years, so thank you for everything you've done in it. Goodbye, Viprin. I wish you all the best with your future opportunities, take care.

Geometry dash will never be the same without you man

You have pretty much been here since the start. Seeing this message drop feels a bit unreal. Having you as a major figure in our community has just been the norm and I think you should be truly proud of what you have achieved in those 12 years of being active. From your mega collabs to the major community videos I feel like you should be able to stand proud. Wish you luck in whatever you decide to do going forward!

Despite the controversy and drama surrounding you and the mod team, you've undoubtedly left a greatly positive impact on the game and the community as a whole. I wish you a great future, whatever it has in store for you. Here's to the end of an era, thanks to you and the mod team.

It seems update 2.2 was indeed an evolution after all... take care, you deserve it. 💜💛

So, it's the end. This was so unexpected, that I could've not even imagine it happening. And, I mean... you left your mark deep into the community, you carried that last decade and I wouldn't think this game would have survived if it weren't for your presence even tho it was criticized at points, and you were probably the reason I even play this game now since 8 years ago. But, now it's over, this era is over and Geometry Dash will have take another turn now, for the bad or for the best maybe. I never thaught I would've say this one day but: Thanks you Viprin for being here for us.
