A mellow goodbye

Postby Flint the Dwarf » Wed Dec 12, 2007 4:49 pm

I wasn't going to make a post, but that was a decision I made before the Donator forum. Donator status expires in two weeks, and I'm not going to renew it. I only come here to occasionally check Announcements and Music, but pretty much all the connections I'd established over the years here have dissipated.

I have really fond memories of this site and its people, but I've felt less a part of it the past year or so, and that's perfectly natural. It is with only a vague melancholy that I say goodbye. I haven't edited anything worth watching twice in ages and, while I'm still in line for an MEP segment, I doubt I'll really edit anything again. That's probably still what I miss most: editing. Hell, I basically left this place when I stopped editing, I've mostly been lurking. Been here almost 6 years, and at least 3 of those were good ones.

I might try to make a last appearance at AWA sometime, but otherwise I'm done with cons.

There are a few of you I still talk to, and I'm glad to have taken at least that from here. I wanted to leave something when I left, a parting Christmas gift of sorts, but I lack the inspiration. So merry Christmas, happy new year, all that jazz. Keep butchering anime and raping music, but keep in mind you'll never be as good as Beo or Sammy.

Thanks for all the videos, distractions, wasted hours in silly discussions, and all the help I've gotten. Only wish I could've contributed more.

I'm still planning on editing that, I just hope I can get it done when the time comes.

I can't say that I've talked to you much over the years, but for some reason, you're one of the members that stood out a bunch to me when I first joined (maybe it was the Flint/Jesus avatar you had?).

Anyway though, goodbye, and take care of yourself!

And a merry fuck off to you too.

Seriously, if you aren't enjoying yourself anymore it makes sense to leave. Best of luck to you in whatever it is you'll waste your time with from now on.

I'm betting Guitar Hero...

;_;

Sorry to see you go Flint, I always did want to chat with you more, and meet you in person sometime... alas...

Hey on the plus side you can get most improved editor now.

I will say, though, godix, I've very much enjoyed your existence at this place.

Yeah, exactly, that's part of the reason.

What, not even if I really try? :roll:

I figured you were gonna sneak away one way or another! Which doesn't worry me, I'll surely stay in touch somehow, given that our music tastes at least intersect...

Yeah, Oto, I imagine you and I will still keep in touch.

Nah, after failing both Raining Blood and Through the Fire and the Flames on Hard, I've lost my love for the game. I still play it now and then, but not religiously. Maybe I'll actually pick up the real instrument I own now that I'm through with the game. :roll: (that rolleyes is for you, Oto)

Most improved? If I didn't get that in 2004, I don't think I ever will. :p

Yeah, I'd have liked to have met you. Your taste in music is intriguing, at least. I'll prolly still occasionally check out your new vids, same as I do with Oto's.

Aw, it's always sad to see someone go. This makes one less person I'll meet when I eventually make my way to AWA. :cry:

Best of luck though.
