Aw shucks. Thank you all for your kind words - heh, I suppose that that ain't making things any easier for me 😄 ! Who knows? Perhaps one day, I’ll decide that I can go back to merely posting the occasional remark; and if that happens, I’ll be sure to come back. But ... the realist in me tends to doubt it ...
Thanks to everyone for making my time here such a blast – I’ll miss you all! It was good, people, but as the man says ... nothing lasts forever.
And so then … farewell!

So many people are doing this. Why can't you just stay and have fun? Who cares about your post count and if you're more than a casual poster...sometimes I just lurk around the forum and read what others have to say. I was a regular poster at a similar forum like this one and it became addictive, but I learned to control my visits, and as long as you have something decent to say, you're welcome here any time. I also spend a lot of time on forums, and this is where I learn a lot about people. Don't run from your problems, I know this for a fact. Face them, deal with them, but don't flee.You're being an idiot. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. 😛
I can understand where you're coming from, reborn again - but trust me; just because I'm leaving, it doesn't mean that I'm running away from my problems. Quite the opposite, in fact; I'm doing this because I'm trying to solve them ...
Don't get me wrong - I don't care about my post count. I've had a lot of fun here at the KMC, and gotten to know some really cool people; and so if I thought that I could just go back to making the occasional post here as I used to, then I would definitely stay. But I know myself, and I know that, at least at the present time, I simply don't have the willpower to go back to the way things were in the beginning. But who knows? One day, all of that may change ...
At the very least. I may still pop into the forum from time to time to check up on the latest gossip. But by not posting, I'm ensuring that the KMC won't gain a monopoly on my time ...
I'm sorry you feel that way, reborn again. Trust me - I haven't come to this decision lightly. I've been trying to persuade myself for days now that I could just stay here at the KMC, and cut down my post count, and that everything would be alright. But I know deep down that that would be a lie ...
As I said, a day may come when I decide that I do have the discipline to make only the occasional post. But that time, my friend, is not now ...
I know that you may not agree with my decision, but I hope that you can at least respect it, and try to understand where I'm coming from. After all, it's like the man said - all good things must come to an end ...
Oh, and there's one final thing, reborn again. Since I'm leaving, I might as well tell you. If you look on your website, you'll find a comment about your "Van Helsing" review; the mysterious "critic" was I ...
