This really sucks. Seriously wondering if yesterday's events pushed him over the edge?

Tinfoil hat time: absolutely not. I have a much longer notice period - although obviously what is my last Monday game update came with its challenges!
Awww, gonna miss him! Good luck with your future going-ons, best of luck :) I'm glad we got that amazing picture of you last week when your camera froze before you left!
Also, everyone tune in to the quiz tomorrow!
You have no idea how happy I was when that meme happened - particularly as I knew I was leaving at that stage! Thank you.
Holy damn.. @JagexJD, thanks for everything you’ve done both on community and personal level, sad to see you go!
Thank you. Going to miss you guys!
can't believe this, JD you were fantastic and will be missed loads
Thank you :)
Good luck and thank you!
Much thanks!
Aw man, gonna miss JD, especially as stream host.
Nevertheless, looking forward to a proper send-off with this Big Fat RuneScape Quiz. I wonder if JD will channel his inner Jimmy Carr for the occasion?
All the best to you, JD. May your future be bright, and your servers un-crashed.
Thank you. Very much enjoyed hosting the streams more in recent months, and hope you guys enjoyed them.
Haha I'll try my best. There will definitely be less terrible laughs than Mr Carr (and hopefully the internet will survive this time).
Good luck in your new endeavors!!!
Thank you!
It is always interesting to see how people see time differently.
Some players get worried that something is pushing a mod they like away or wonder why someone would leave, but 7 years is a long time.
Hope your exciting new opportunities work out.
Appreciate it - thank you for the wellwishes.
You can breath a little easier now that you don't have to deal with these "challenges" anymore.
Not at all. This is what we're paid to do within Community Management. No two days are ever the same, and that's what makes it exciting!
Yikes, I hope this isn't in any way related to Jagex's recent acquisition by Carlyle...
Sorry to disappoint, but definitely not. I've been at Jagex for a long time (pretty much a quarter of my life!), and whilst I love what I do, another opportunity came along to try something new and I thought I'd throw myself into it. I had a pretty hefty notice period, so I knew I'd be moving on before Christmas.
I really appreciate all the good things you've brought us, especially as a stream host which I've enjoyed a lot and certainly will miss! Thanks for everything JD, and best of luck in your new ventures!
Thank you! Means a lot. Quiz tomorrow?

Thank you. /u/jagexhooli will be a more-than-able successor, I'm sure!
I'm just going to assume everyone who leaves Jagex gets a goody bag full of oddments, a blue paper party hat and a stuffed animal of Bob.
Sadly not. I would love a stuffed Bob though...!
You're telling me you enjoy an angry mob wanting blood almost on a weekly basis? Props to you then and to each his own.
Those are the challenging times, absolutely. The good times absolutely outweigh the bad though.
Thank you for all the lovely comments. It's been a pleasure (most of the time).
Seriously though, as I mention in the loooooooong message, you guys have made my time here what it is, and thank you for making it something I'll always remember.
jesus christ that hit like a rock, i cant even imagine my week without watching you on the runescape stream, best of luck with your new adventures! one of the mods that we will miss the most for sure
Thank you. I'm sure Mod Hooli and the team will more than ably replace me, but I appreciate your kind words all the same!
This is so sad, tbh. I remember when I won a giveaway back in 2015 and Mod JD was the one that contacted me and sent me the goodies. You were also on top of things so this one hurts. We also conversed about a concern of mine like 9-10 months ago and you were so nice regarding the situation so I appreciated that. I still do, so thanks for all your contribution to this community and for communicating with me when I had an issue. I did send a follow-up about 21 days ago through DM here on Reddit so I am not sure if you got it or not :P.
In any case, I sure wish you the best in your future endeavors, Mod JD. You rock!
Thank you! (and apologies if I missed the follow-up! It's been a crazy last month or so).
Appreciate the lovely messages, but was just doing my job.
Awww... :( By far the best RuneScape live stream host. Best of luck to Mod JD in his future endeavors and Thank You!
Thank you, appreciate it!
Oh dear! Gonna miss your presence hugely JD! I hope your future career is fantastic and thanks for many years of streaming and fun. Good luck!
Thank you. I'll miss you all, but I'll miss seeing your avatar replying on Twitter. Hope you enjoyed the Lore stream last week!
@jagexJD im gonna miss you man... Thanks for everything you did on stream and behind the scenes, you always were a cheerful guy and fun to watch! I guess we could say you were a good boy:) definetly tuning in tomorrow, hopefully we get a good boy refference or two :) goodluck in your future endeavours
Thank you! And believe me, this isn't the last you've seen of Good Boy (tune in tomorrow...)
Hey JD, good luck in your next position. You were a great Jmod. All the best!
Thank you! Appreciate it.
It was wonderful, thanks for doing so well with it! Do you have a personal account on Twitter you're willing to share so we can keep up with ya?
I'll carry on using my JagexJD account with a different handle for my future adventures!
Best of luck to you.
I'm sad to see you go, and you will be missed.
Beste of rng ;) in the new job
Thank you! My IRL RNG is terrible, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to bump that up before starting at the new place :D
Thank you, best of luck with your newfound opportunities.
Thank you!
Unfortunate but I'm sure he will be off to a great career. He was one of the community figures that has the likability that mod Shauny also had.
I hope so! Thanks for your kind words.
Always sucks when someone like JD leaves jagex. Best of luck and thanks for everything!
Thank you very much - lovely words.
Best of luck in your future, your presence is going to be sorely missed. Really glad to see someone with your amazing work ethic taking a step in a new direction though - your new landing spot is extremely lucky to have you! Wishing nothing but the best, thank you for all the fun years!
Thank you - those are some lovely words. I hope I've done you guys proud.
Best of luck with whatever you do in the future JD, a legendary moderator <3
Thank you! Enjoyed it very much over the past nearly-7-years.
Thanks JD loved watching you host live streams. Good luck on whatever the future holds for you! Sad to see you go but happy for you too.
Thank you!
RIP mod JD, I love you JD.
Saw this earlier but didn't know what to say. I'm gonna miss JD. /:
Don't be sad it's over; be happy it happened. See you on the other side!
Today is a sad day for us. Best of luck out there Mod JD! You were one of the best we had here.
Thanks for your kind words. You're in good hands.
bye jd
Byyyyyeeee!
....f**k. f**kf**kf**kf**kf**kf**k.
I'll take that as a compliment! It's all good - you're in good hands with /u/JagexHooli, /u/JagexKari and the rest of the CM team.
Thanks for everything and good luck with your future endeavors! :)
Cheers!
I don't know much about Jagex or Jmods, but you did a fantastic job as a host when announcing the GE update from the ninja team, I hope wherever you go sees how well you keep a room together.
Thank you! Weirdly I don't remember that one, but glad I was able to give you some entertainment.
Awww, that's sad. Gonna miss you Mod JD, best wishes.
Thank you!
You were one of the coolest Jagex Mods. I can’t believe you’re leaving us. You still going to play RuneScape?
Thank you! I think I'll dabble! I'll need to get on-board with my new place and learn their games, and being honest I probably need a break.
You never truly leave RuneScape though, you just go AFK :D. You can't get rid of me that easily!
Naaw just when you had become a meme. Thank you for your hard work over the years and good luck in the future! ♥️
Haha yes. Let's hope for a non-repeat for tonight's stream!
Thank you for also taking the time for some career advice on Linkedin back in June, it was appreciated!
No problem! Happy to help where I can to help people into the industry.
Oh no :( It still feels like a close memory, interacting with you and Neena on Twitter, trying to #FindJD & #FindSky during my Diploma days...
You may have left Jagex but the name still lives on in the signed concept art on my wall (my place got renovated but it's still framed and hung up on the wall) and will continue to do so :) all the best in your future endeavours!
Oh fantastic. That means a lot to hear! All the best in the future.
God damn I gotta stop liking jmods cause every time I like one, they quit.
Who's next? Ramen?
Best of luck in your future endeavors JD!
Thank you, very much!
