I regret to inform that I shall be taking my leave.
I have my reasons, which I have explained to those who have asked me to reconsider and I shall say little more about those reasons due to what I've seen other people receive in threads where they have expressed their discontent about this site. I must admit, I have been personally shocked at some comments people have thrown around. To cut some of you short, I have already received the "You'll be back" comment, so there is little point in any of you acting like a parrot and repeating that, because there is very little chance that I will return.
I will say that I did enjoy this ride. I loved being a part of this forum from the moment it was created and I loved seeing what happened to this place as it changed and evolved from the shithole that we call "KHRPF". This place was different and decided to take a step forward and establish itself as a better role-playing forum, an "elite" one as we called it at the time. I enjoyed sitting with Avenger, Thaed and Wilder in MSN conversations and hearing about all the plans and what they had in mind. I loved being a character moderator and reading everyone's submissions and truly being inspired by some great writers. I refer to you; Akito, Kempff, Vio, Simba (though he's not here) and many others.
Times change and I have no real purpose here any more. I have no muse to RP and I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pessimism towards the success of my QM audition. Apologies to Akito, Brezzen and Gravity, but my wish to complete and try and provide you two with a great quest was really destroyed as I made up my mind that it was time for me to walk away.
In truth, I shouldn't really have the time for this place. College work is mounting up heavily and I should be using my spare time to do with that. After all, the reason I'm paying a ludicrous amount of money to be at college is to achieve the grades and a top degree from it. As much as I could have balanced a responsibility on FM and my work, I fear that it would have had a dramatic effect on my grades.
Yes, I will miss this place a lot, it's been my home for... a long time now. However, I don't feel at home any more and I don't feel that I really fit in here any more and I refuse to spend time somewhere where I feel constantly awkward.
So... I'll say a few words to people.
Iris
You are a good administrator and I have no worries about your abilities as a leader of the forum. However, I signed up for a different FM to what this is now. That doesn't mean that you've done anything wrong, as I explained to you on MSN. You've brought this place up from a near-death state and the place is buzzing with activity. As you said, you've done something right. But, as I said, you can't please everyone. Congratulations for now and all the best for the future. I'm always around on MSN if you need advice.
Bilby and Memories
Heh, I knew you guys further than than bounds of FM, you guys were integral to the survival of mine and Darkfire's Bleach forum before we decided that we couldn't maintain it. I'd like to say thanks for the support over the months and for generally being your awesome selves. I had fun being a mod with you, Memories, and even though we never really spoke that much, you always seemed like a cool person and a friend. Bilby, I've spoken to you a lot in the past over MSN and you've always been one person that FM could rely on for fresh ideas. This place needs you, I hope you can stick around for it's sake.
Gravity, Akito and Prythian
Two fine QMs and someone who I deeply respect as a role-player. I hope you guys remain active for sometime and maintain a high-quality standard of role-playing around the place. Hopefully, Gravity and Prythian, your ideas as QMs can help to keep the role-playing and plots around here active and brimming with quality. I apologize for not continuing with my audition to join you, but I just don't feel right here. Akito, you're a sound guy and your creativity is just... something that you really don't see that often. Your characters always blew my mind away, as did your role-playing. I hope FM gets more people like you. Gravity, I'll see you around on MSN and you'll continue to hear about my alcohol-fueled exploits and we'll trade stories about how love really does suck. xD
Bleh, there are a lot of people I would like to address; Kempff, Zero, Katsumi, Northie and Ophi whom of which I have been delighted to know as people and role-players. I wish all of you the best, especially Katsumi and Northie on their quests to college. I'm sure you'll both do everyone proud. Alas, time doesn't give me the opportunity to do so, so apologies for placing you all in the same section.
Many of you will see me around on MSN, so feel free to drop a message. Any ill-wished messages will not be appreciated and you will receive a typical Medy response (if you can remember what those were from my character mod days). I wish this place the best of luck and thank it for providing me with somewhere to go and spend my time.
It's been fun.
*Bows*
Adios.
I did post in shades of grey if anyone even remembers that lmao
