In our Club Penguin Flashback series, we flashback to a moment in Club Penguin's past. Today's flashback is October 17, 2012, the day Billybob announced his resignation.
October 17 started as a normal day. However, later into the day, Billybob announced his resignation. He sent a letter to all Disney employees, and it read:
"Like many entrepreneurs though, there comes a time when the desire to create something new outweighs the comfort of what’s known and for me that time has come."
He posted to the Club Penguin blog later that day as well. He said:
"I wanted to make sure you heard it directly from me, after 7 incredible years at Club Penguin, I'm going to be moving on. I'll be around for the next few months to make sure everything is all good. Then I'll be focusing on building some cool stuff for schools. I hope I'm able to help with learning the same way I have been able to help build Club Penguin. "
He turned over his position to Spike Hike, who is now recognized as the 'leader' or 'CEO' of Club Penguin. Lane Merrifield had a small party that day on Club Penguin, to say thank-you for all of the support he received that day from the entire community. Click to enlarge.
