It's Time I Said Goodbye to Stumpt

After 9 years, it's time to say goodbye. This vlog will explain the whys, as well as give you some info about where you can catch me in the future! It's been a pleasure being a part of your lives, and I hope to see you all again real soon.

Rik, don't tell the others but, you've always been my favorite Stumpt member, thank you for being who you are!

I'm typically a lurker, but I feel like this is an appropriate moment for me (and anyone else who may want to do so) to thank you for the time, and energy that you've put into Stumpt both on and off camera.

Given everything that you've been experiencing over the past few years, this is an understandable move. Hopefully there will still be times when you can play with the members of Stumpt (ex. like during Stumptmas when you all played Don't Starve, amongst other games). I'll be following you to your new channel (the lurking returns lol). Keep being yourself Rik and hopefully this new chapter of your life on the internet goes well! Wishing you all the success 🙌.

Currently watching all of the don’t starve together series and Rik makes so many amazing jokes. I love when Ash, Price, and Rik “get the band together!!”

I'm sad to see you leave Stumpt, but I know this is the right decision for you to make. It's been awesome seeing you all have a great time playing games together, and I am so excited for what the future holds for all of you. You're an awesome dude, Rik, and as much as it won't say it on paper or website. You'll still always be a member of Stumpt to me. Take care of yourself man, and see you on the new channel!

Man, I can’t believe this. I just watched the Stumpt video about you. I still remember watching you guys when I was 7 for gang beasts, it’s crazy. I still remember how much I related to you. Do whatever is happy for yourself and others, take care of your children, they deserve you! I hope you and your family stay safe, love you Rik!

Man i just went to watch stumpt after several years and saw rik was missing!!! Im so glad you are not gone thanks to controversy. I hate to say it but due to all of the people getting outed over the last few years its where my mind went first. Im glad to be proven wrong. I watched you all for about 7 ish years starting when i was about 12. Im almost 22 years old now and can confidently say im glad to have had content creators like you to lean on in hard hard times, and look to for inspiration. thank you so very much rik.

This is an appropriate time to say that, while I love all of the members of Stumpt, I've always loved your humor the most. You've had me floored with laughter on so many occasions, man! Even though I'm going to miss that, I will be following your career with great interest!

[brennerbear]

Crazy to think that after 9 years Rik is officially moving on from Stumpt onto his own thing. Even though we've talked on and off over the years it's always been a pleasure. Love ya buddy, (still waiting for our Civ game <3)

[atinystudio]

I wish you all the love, hope, peace, and success in the present and future. You will be missed dearly. The red shorts Rik will be fondly remembered. Best wishes to you and your family.

Hey Rik, I can feel your heavy heart when you signed off for the last time as a Stumpt member. You have always been my favorite to watch and listen to when I’ve had a difficult day. I wish you love in every way and I somewhat look forward to the day when you return back to the group when life becomes more manageable. Till then, I guess I’ll see you on your new channel :).

[JensDeBrabanter]

Still to this day I have many great memories of you that I enjoy very much! You have been my favorite member of Stumpt to be honest xD and we all understand why you made this decision. Good luck Rik!

[jackdinsmore]

Hey Rik! Stumpt subscriber of 7 years here. Congrats on nine years of great content with the best channel on YouTube and congrats on your growing family! You will be missed, and we wish you all the best!

[TurboTitan]

I didn't think a simple video like this would get me emotional, but best of luck Rik. You will be missed around here, but I'll be happy to see your new journey as a gamer, and even more importantly wish the best as a Father.

[Spacecookie-]

Aw, Rik. I enjoyed watching you be part of the team. Good luck with the stuff you're moving on to.

[missmorgin]

Rik!!! Thank you for everything over the years!! Stumpt has made such a huge impact on so many peoples' lives across the world - myself included. Thank you for the laughs, the adventures, the goofs, and the lessons. I'm so glad that your sweet girls get to grow up experiencing all of that for themselves now!! You're a fantastic dad and friend, and we'll miss having you around, but I look forward to seeing where you go and what you put out next. I know it'll be nothing short of wonderful - it always is!! The whole Mod team is rooting for you (and if you return to Twitch we'll be fighting over... I mean... happy to help!) lol Grod Speed with Double Dad Duties! *salute* 😄

[highstriker]

You (and Jas's cackle) were what first got me to follow Stumpt. I'm super grateful for that, you guys have been a genuine highlight over the years.

It's sad to see you go, but I'm already subbed to your new channel, and looking forward to seeing your new videos there. Best wishes for you!

[cheyennestoves]

Man I'm gonna miss you, Rik. Initially when Aenne showed up in your spot, I wasn't so sure because I wasn't used to the change, but I grew to love her as much as I love you! I got so excited when you came back here and there to play with your friends. It was nice and refreshing to see you again! I wish you and your family all the best. I hope your daughters have happy and healthy lives, and grow, beautifully. Thanks for being so dang awesome, dude.

[Southrobinart]

Your vibrant positive presence has been missed.
Glad that you’re still making videos at least ;w;
All the best with the new channel and really hope to see you more often.
