| Subject: That's it, most likely. Sat Feb 25, 2012 8:23 pm | |
| It's been a hell of a year and a half I've been here. I've met a lot of great people here, some that I even still consider great. However, most notably in the last few months, the atmosphere has gotten chiller. Not at homey as it used to be. And I'm not okay with that.
I don't know if you recall the huge multi-forum war this summer, but I was a huge part of that. I backed AARO all the way. I cared so much about this place then. I had my fair share of sleepless nights worrying about it. It had become a 2nd home of sorts back then. I loved this place. I cared about it twice as much as my forum, let alone any other forum.
Today I called out the forum in an attempt to make people realize that this is not how the forum should be. Not how it was.
This attempt failed. A few people I once considered friends proved to me that I was correct in my previous line of thinking of leaving.
The final blow came when Nick, who was among my best friends this summer, said "Whatever dude." Those words hurt me. Hurt me bad. I can tell you, I have tears in my eyes as I type this. I fucking hate to do this.
Thanks to many of you. Many of you remain my friends, and I've met you here. Tanner, Chives, Dan, Jrod, Vinny, Matt, Mikey, Rory, Nick D, Weddur, Will, Justin, AMR, albox, Greg, Bartman, Ike, Nate, Landon, Pudge, Eric, Blake, Woody, Cole, Keith, I met you here. Others, too.
And Nick, thank you, from October 2010 to late 2011 I considered you a great friend and supporter in my league. And I hope the old Nick returns someday, and I hope this place does become what it once was.
I'll be watching AARO, keeping an ear to the ground, but for now, this is it.
This is among the hardest things I've ever done.

| Please don't go, Tim. A lot of us just need to learn to calm down. I say stupid things all the time, I admit that, and I regret a lot of it. Please take this into consideration. We're all friends here. You can't just leave us behind. | |

Means a lot to me Matt, really, it does. I just can't stay, at least not right now. |

| It's really sad to see you go. Hope to see you back again at some point, as, although we had our squabbles, you were a good member here on this forum. | |

There are too many that want to see you go. I'll fight this to the bitter in to make sure we don't lose you. This argument currently taking place is not worth losing somebody over. And if you won't take it from me, take it from the rest of us. I beg of you not to go. | |

| That was a very respectful post, Tim. You still got the NAACD and WoR forums to hang around, so some of us will see you there, look-alike me. | |

That's what I was thinking. I'm gonna stay long enough to see this thread resolved, but after that, don't expect to see much of me at all here, guys. This tears me apart, I tell you... |

This tears me apart, I tell you... This is just my thinking, but I think the problem this forum has is that we have little to no plan for how this forum is run, not from what I can tell. If not that, we need a better system of admins, somebody that can put their foot down when something happens that shouldn't. Not like the OSW admins, mind you, but somebody who has a sense of humor and an iron fist. Again, just thinking aloud. I'm still not letting you go, Tim. | |

We have that.
Tim, you really don't have to leave. But if you do I'll miss you. Then you should really be a little more strict enforcing it. I think that argument we just had in the RDT should've been taken care of and/or canned already. | |

| Well, I would say I'll miss you around here, but seeing as there's NAACD, EFR, etc..., I'll see you in other places. Hope you still run the NAACD! | |
