I fare thee well, dearest friends.

Dearest members of this forum, I have decided to step down from being a regular reader of the forums.

For the past 4/5(?) years, I have been an avid reader and contributor to these forums. However, over the past year and a half I have stopped contributing nearly as much and only read, which I barely do as is. Several events led up to this and this decision, beginning with one or two members who annoyed me to no end (they shall not be named) and others who just infuriated me to the point of almost smashing nearby objects with stupidity, trollishness, and obnoxiousness. These people started what would be a downward spiral of disinterest in what I consider to have been the greatest of online communities.

The second part that led up to this was the change from the forum due to He-who-shall-not-be-named's decision to switch over the forums. I enjoyed the old format and the new format (which this site also uses) is one I do not enjoy.

This may seem as an angry and hateful post, and in truth it has those elements, but I only want to leave remembering the great times that the Old Ones will remember, like the first roleplay or when Rare first hit 1k karma. Those were the times I had a ton of fun on the site, before all the drama and bullshit that happened.

I love all of you guys, and I appreciate you being my friends for all these years. I hope you do enjoy these forums as much as I once did, but moreso that you cherish those memories we once had as a group of friends that now bring a tear to my eye as I recall them.

Goodbye, Taco
Goodbye, Jonny
Goodbye, Gorgro
Goodbye, SB8
Goodbye, JT
Goodbye, (if you ever read this) AJ
Goodbye, Samiam
Goodbye, Someguy
Goodbye Dewmann
And finally,
Goodbye, Rare.

To all of you and to any I might have forgotten, I give you my best wishes and reiterate that I hope you have a great time on here. I wish I still did.

Sincerely,
Sludge

If this is what you really feel, then no one can fault you for it Sludge. Have a fantastic life.

I dont even know who you are and this made me sad..... Fare well, possible friend, fare well...

See ya, duck buddy. Good luck with that whole "life" thing

it's sad to lose a member... but I feel that this is strangely appropriate:

As sad as I am that you're leaving, I also understand completely why you've come to the decision. If you ever change your mind, the forum is always open to you, as is my email/PM if you ever want to talk. Goodbye my friend -hugs-

Live long and prosper, my duck friend. []

Good luck with life. We'll miss you.

bye sludge, we will miss you

I don't think I can add much to what Rare already said, but feel free to return whenever you like and there will always be cookies and donuts waiting for you.

Well, this has come as a surprise. Regardless, best of luck with your future endeavours, fellow water-dweller!

Farewell, it's to bad that I didn't become freinds with you over the years.

Adieu, Sludgie.

I wish you happy travels, wherever they may lead.
