It took me five years of competitive chess and I years of break to get over 1000 uscf
It was mainly his tilt, then he gave up.
B&M is staying open!

As mentioned by many, chess improvement takes a lot of time and there are so many ups and downs in rating on that journey due to variance, tilt, learning process and so on.
I'm sure @Viznik knows this (I've even messaged this to them several times in different words), but perhaps they just need a temporary break from chess.
As for the community, I know they loved this group and the group will live on 
@Viznik is of course welcome here when they get back. It would be nice if it was soon, but they deserve the temporary time off as well.
Here is to @Viznik and their "vacation"

Better explains wise than myself. 
I think you should rename this post to "Why Viznik left"

same but less time. Probably because my glicko was higher.

Yeah, but now it's run by @DaBabysBurner, who's hopefully far more competent

I don't like the way this was phrased. Just because @Viznik is currently not here, I believe not "competent" is far too harsh. @Viznik clearly was enthusiastic with the group they created here and I say they did a great job running the club while they were active.
True, I also like @DaBabysBurner as a club SA, but @Viznik doesn't deserve comments like this and I suggest you stop making them.
Don't forget that this group is only as quality as its active members @epicusernamehere and this includes you too! If we want changes in this club, then we together must help make them - this requires an enthusiastic team effort to at least the level @Viznik originally brought in; it is the least we can do for them in their absence

I stand by it. Viz wasn't very enthusiastic at all, he just sent an occasional note. If you're saying that if we want changes we need to be as enthusiastic as him, then it's just a single note and done.
Viznik left because chess wasn’t right for him. He loved the community, but felt like he wasn’t improving in such a short span. Which is why you shouldn’t give up. That’s the short and sweet of it. I’ll answer as many questions as you have.
