It's official. I'm no longer an active LEGO Ambassador.

I hadn't applied for it this time, so it's really no surprise my name isn't on the list. The Cycle 4 Ambassador announcement includes a lot of new faces, and several returning members. It's good to see an increased international contingent, though - only a few of the first cycle were from outside North America.

I've been doing a lot of stuff with LEGO for the last few years, including being an Ambassador, and I felt it was time to let others try a shot at Ambassadorhood. The main reason I decided not to continue this time was because I intend to ramp up my duties at LEGOFan.org. I also need time to finish the various BZP-related duties I've let slide (like skins). There's also little things like, I dunno, building something, that I've been neglecting. Hopefully I'll be able to get going on some of those.

So, it's with mixed emotions that I've retired (for now) from the Ambassadors. I got to be involved with several projects, some of which won't come to fruition for years, if at all, but some things were definitely able to be released. Feedback on polls, surveys, and other stuff.

So, congrats to the new and returning Ambassadors. With one exception, I think they'll do a great job. (I have severe reservations about one person, and was very surprised to see their name on the list.) I'll be following announcements from the group over the next six months.

At least I'll have more time to spend around here! Hopefully.
