Will he return?

[edit]

It is unsure if Tan will return.He had said this on his IRC Channel.

[17:32] <Tan_Ding_Xiang> I may return. 
[17:32] <Tan_Ding_Xiang> It is unsure. 
[17:33] <Tan_Ding_Xiang> But I will come back when my grades improve.
[17:33] <Tan_Ding_Xiang> If they don't, I won't return.
 

Asked if he expected a vigil to be held, Tdxiang shrugged.

[17:35] <Tan_Ding_Xiang> Nah. 
[17:35] <Tan_Ding_Xiang> I'm no admin... 
[17:35] <Tan_Ding_Xiang> They don't really need me here...

Parental pressure?

[edit]

Tan also said his departure was not due to parental pressure.

<Tan_Ding_Xiang>I voluntarily quit it. I cannot afford to waste time. Need to buck up.
