Re: Member Announcements Thread
Well it would appear that the time has come for me to finally make this announcement, one that has been coming for some time now and should have been made earlier.
Recent events have caused me to question several things regarding my involvement here, and my continuation to be a solid presence here. Due to these recent events, and several past events, I have come to one conclusion.
When I first arrived on the first forum, things were a load of fun. Active RP's, pretty decent members and usually a helpful person around every digital corner. This continued to be the case with the second forum, and I was happy to rejoin when we got that, as was the same initially when we got this forum. However, over the past six months, I have been discovering with alarming frequency, the number of good things, the number of FUN things have been steadily decreasing, and the number of reasons to hang it all up and end my 'tenure' here have been steadily increasing.
Therefore, it is with heavy heart that I must announce that after this week, I will no longer be stopping by here. I will continue to check my inbox of PM's, and this thread until next Sunday evening, Eastern Time so as to allow those who knew me to properly say whatever final words they have for me. For those of you who may not get the chance, I will, upon the completion of the week, release information here as to my MSN, AIM and Yahoo handles. However, you must include your screen name from the forum in your invitation letter when making the request, since I don't accept invites from names I don't recognize.
I do wish all the very best, and I hope that this community will recapture the shining image I feel it has lost with my absence. And so the page turns, the chapter closes. I leave here with very few regrets, and with some memories that I will forever hold close. For many, this may come as a surprise, and I don't blame you if it angers you. For some, it appears this has been something that you wanted, and were too afraid to say directly. However you feel, I won't hold it against you forever, and I do hope that things straighten out and work out better for you with me gone.
In the words of the Ancients: Aveo Amacuse.
GoodBye.
