😐 People you, called your friends.

i guess that a lil of that was aimed at me yeah?

Well, as im sure sombody has already said my leaving of tig was not to upset anybody, least of all you sara, or you erik.

But im not apologising for leaving it, i mean how often are you two in there anyway, with me that is, we only talk on msn, and even thathas become rare.

i remember ad saying that 'it'* would never happen, you would never do it! when i brought it up

well seeing as in the last 4 weeks i have recieved 2 pms and 2 1 min msn chats from you. i think it has indeed happened.

Aurora, leaving tig was a personal reason to me, and i, like you, would prefer not to post it here.

AD, i thought you would continue calling me a friend forever, but...if you decide not to over a thread....well, i guess that kinda tells me you never did care that much

* i think AD knows what i mean

I don't see why its getting boy-cotted,

I usually use it as a means of saying "hello" to people and "goodbye" when I leave.

But it is ashame that Aurora's mighty thread is being put to shit

ladygrim The Grim piratess

i never thought people could actually befriend each other on forums i just thought they all argued the points then moved on but here u do that and the make friends ...

I would have agreed about that a few weeks ago,
But I think the situation really improved lately - there are several really interesting topics updated and substantiated conversations and discussions going on.

When you talk to people IRL, do you only talk about LOTR and if they change the subject, do you tell them that you are leaving ???
As absurd as that is...that is exactly what those of you who said you are leaving are doing.

Exactly that's the difference between RL and forums, and it's why I prefer forums.
In forums you can discuss specialized topics with exactly those interested in it, you aren't limited to paralysing and superficial smalltalk. You [usually] can say your opinion and hear others' opinions, that's the point of these threads here.
In RL, real discussions are rare, and if you have them, you cannot go offtopic because the whole conversation isn't archived, isn't entitled with anything revealing the essence of its point and there aren't hundreds of different topics to chose from and discuss in parallelly.

In my opinion, a thread like Tig Party for the social part of the discussions is absolutely essential for a forum to make it work and worth writing there. And without Tig, I would certainly not be here anymore because I wouldn't really know any of you. I do consider myself honoured of having had the possibility to write there,

but still I don't think there is need to justify leaving a thread [or rather several threads], and it's certainly not a reason to talk to people as respectlessly and offensively as it happened there after some members announced to leave the thread for a while.

So far,
Exa

Its almost as bad as having one named ater crisps.
Or being named after the plural of an alternative name for a nightclub in the 80s and 90s

Smodden Keyblade Chosen

OMG

I'm gone for 2 days And i come back to a shire that is ruined! why, look at that mill over there! AND WHo are all these ruffians?!! Whats going on here? I demand an explanation....

OK so maybee if I didn't leave, some of this bad tension would have been spared, but I had to destroy the ring, so now I'm back, or never left, or whatnot....I posted this in tig...it explains some things:

ok i'm back...after 2 days...I hadn't realy decide if I was going to leave yet....And after someone pmed me a link to here showing all you guys' sadness and sorrow, I couldn't leave, it was a bit of a shock to me when I saw s-b announcement saying that I was going to leave. As I wasn't completely sure of MY desicion yet. You see I love all you guys to death and I can't see myself just leaving without a REALY HUGE reason. And after contemplating my reasons I found out I don't have any reasons...good ones anyway...You guys are priceless, and friends that I wouldn't trade for the world...
Alex: I'm so sory you were upset, I didn't want anybody upset at all, especially you buddy... I feel like i've caused a lot of trouble, and reading the last few pages made me relize I have true friends here....Like you alex, and you are one of the main reasons that I can't leave the tig party, and I can't see myself even considering it anymore.
Discos: You were wrong...lol, something you guys said CAN change ppls minds, and it did, see I'm not leaving, and don't intend to for a long time.
discos-would miss discos' name at end of posts
Aurora: -Nothing is against you in any way shape or form....your one of the first ppl to welcome me here....The host of the tig party shall endure forever.
Sauron: -please comeback....
Fee: -HAPPY 2000th post!!!!!!!!!! celebrate, good times comon!
So you see guys my desicion was not totaly made up...things got out of controll, and there was some misunderstandings....
I have to say, my bags WERE packed. And I did have my ticket to leave, but I never boarded the plane....I couldn't...
The "last words" thread...was my last post...but not anymore...besides I have to beat AE...(at posts)
you guys are great and I can't leave...

Smodden...I thought you DID decide already...I didn't know that you just wanted to leave just because of me. Why didn't you tell me?

I NEVER told you that you have to leave too, I just sent you a PM saying that "I" will leave...and then you said that if I'm leaving...then you're leaving too. I NEVER forced you to do it. I even asked you so many times if you really want to leave. I NEVER knew that you have so many misgivings yet.

Reading your post it seems to me like I'm the one to blame for everything.

I feel so stupid now.

Shadowy_Exa Senior Member

Oh shit,
erm he never meant to make it sound like you were to blame
he even asked me to censor it 😄

But hey...he loves ya, he will follow ya 😄

shadowy_blue Senior Member

I'm very upset right now.

Sorry for everything.

Sure I'm the one to blame for everything.

Because of my farewell PM to Exa, she decided to leave Tig Party too. And because she left, you sauron..left too. And because of me leaving, Smodden wanted to leave too. Though I NEVER asked any of you to leave.

The tig party is where i made most of my friends here...but i agree that we need a break from it...we can go off topic in Pms, emails, IMs, and such. But KMC is the only place i can talk about LOTR and while i am here that is what I want to talk about, so i believe taht i need a break from Tig for a while, just to get back to LOTR issues...and other personal stuff...

This is nothing against you Aurora, I love you and Tig lots, but i think I am getting to addicted to it...and ignoring the real reason I started coming here...

So i too must take a break from teh tig party...

I mightn't know, but I don't think you're to blame, Shadowy
I don't think anyone's to blame, not even tig. Eventually, we should've seen this coming 🙂

But I have an idea ((yeah, shadowy, the one I was telling you about)) that should keep the forum going, and can give Tig more purpose than just being a pointless chat thread. And everyone should be in it, as long as Storm agrees 🙂

Shadowy_Exa Senior Member

Edit: SAURON 😠 😛 😆 is gonna castrate me
