Title: Screw This
Description: Leaving indefinately
Crocozaurus - February 7, 2009 04:07 AM (GMT)
Yeah, I'm gone. I've tolerated this place as much as I could. I thought I could just put up with everything that's ever happened here, 'cause I have had my connections to this place, but over time, everything piled on top of itself, and I finally realised that this would be a stupid idea.
So why? I've been here for a long time, almost since the forum began, I served as a staff member here, and I made a load of new friends. Why throw that away? For clarification, it is not because of MeatSpin. It was disgusting, this is true. But I end up running into stuff like that on my own anyway. I could care less about how it impacts me. That piece of garbage can only do it less than staying here anyway. So why, then? Well, everyone who's been paying attention to what actually goes on in this forum already knows the answer. There are problems, and people have tried to explain them. But despite every attempt to get these fixed, there has been no success, so there's no point in saying it all again. I could write a ten page essay about every single problem this place has, but it wouldn't make a difference. Nobody new would know, nobody who already knew would be further notified, and nobody with power would care. It's a losing battle. Every day of my life, I've been losing because I've been hoping for some miracle, hoping that somebody would just wake up and go, "Hey, all this stuff needs to be done!" But no, that was a waste. My days here have been a waste. I don't regret joining, and I don't regret meeting the people I have. That's not what I'm saying. The only thing I regret is not giving up sooner. So sorry to everyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about. I can't help you now. =/
But before you guys start up with, "Aw, you're not gonna be gone forever, you're gonna be back in a couple of days," like I know you would if I said I would go forever, I would like to point out that I used the word indefinately in the topic description. I don't know how long I'll really be gone. It may be forever, or it may be a couple of days. Heck, for all I know, it could only take two seconds before I come back editing this post and replacing it with, "Oh snap, false alarm. Sorry guys, I need this closed. D=" I just don't know. The point is that I don't want to get your hopes up, so I won't.
If for some reason you still want to talk to me or want to know of any other places you can find me at, you can contact me on MSN or AIM. (Which I need to re-download, so try MSN first.) I might take the time to start up a friendly little conversation, but that will probably depend on the person.
That's it, I guess. Here's to two more years on some other forum.

Yeah, same here, same reasons, blah blah blah. Later guys.

I missed all this MeatSpin business. I'm gone a day and I miss all the drama!
At least you're being honest about your situation. I'm one of those people you mention, the ones who have no idea what you're talking about. Most of the underlying drama and friction between members here luckily completely eludes my attention.
Anyway, good luck with whatever your future holds. See you around, perhaps.

Good luck to you croc, I don't know what to tell you, except I hope you have a bright way ahead of you.
Also do you have a deviantart account? I'd like to keep in contact once in a while if you'd like.

Sorry to see you go, Croc, you've always been quite the interesting member. I actualy quite respected you. ^^
Good luck, and I hope you visit.

You were such a good member Croc, and very well respected. We'll miss you alot, even though I don't know you that well :[ *hugs*
Good luck to you and I'll see you around

What is it with removing your avatar and custom title when you leave? Everyone keeps doing that...
Anyway, we didn't know each other very well, but I will miss you all the same.
Good luck, and Godspeed.

Oh man, I did pick a bad time to go. Once I do, all this interesting stuff starts happening and it's all like, "Whoa, what's going on?" That may have been the only other thing keeping me here, besides all my buds. =D Ah well. I just decided to check up on all that, as well as this topic. No false alarm yet.
Lucifer: Well, this is unusual to say, but I pity you and find you lucky at the same time. Lucky 'cause you missed the MeatSpin business, and pityable because...yeah, already said.
Missy: Thanks. I wouldn't really think of myself as "respected," considering everything that's happened to me here, but it means a lot to hear that.
supertails: Well, there's not really much of a point to keep them. People have them just to show them off and get people's attention, but when I'm not going to be here to get the attention, then what's the point, right? Anyway, thanks.
That's all I felt like responding to right now. If I didn't for some reason, then it was probably for some reason, so deal with it. D= The only other thing to say right now is this:
| QUOTE (Weresonic) |
| Yeah, same here, same reasons, blah blah blah. Laters. |
If you're going to take two precious minutes of your time to say goodbye to me, at least do the same to her. I know you saw it. It's in the same topic. It's okay. We agreed to do this together. Acknowledge her, too.
I might check back one last time later just to see if anyone else said something, but if I do, it'll most likely be the last. Just a heads-up.

I don't think some of us thought she was saying goodbye. Or at least, I just thought she was saying she agreed with you and that she was saying "Laters" to you.
Also, goodbye to the both of you. As much as I'd love to see you guys stick around (not to mention the fact you've been here for two years), what's gonna be done has gotta be done and all, so catch you later.
Comrade WereSonic - February 8, 2009 08:33 PM (GMT)
No worries, i'll still go here, but only for TWO roleplays, nothing more. I will be anonymous and stuff.
Striker Nexus - February 8, 2009 09:44 PM (GMT)
...man...this isn't happening, is it? I've known you since Darkmaster's Clan. It pains me to see you go, but it's your decision.
Comrade Weresonic, RPs won't be the same without you. Things would be more interesting and medium paced.
Goodbye two of my friends. I truly will miss you both.
