By Mooncat, we'll miss you. Hopefully you'll come back soon, and be well while you're gone.

In other news, I'll be gone for what I expect to be a long while.

No, Serp.
I know right, shame. Whatever, just not feeling it anymore. All this drama(not just the thing why Trog left) is just the couple of spoons overflowing the bucket.

Have fun guys, I wish you all the best of luck with your lives.

I never thought I'd post in this thread...

I'm not leaving, but for the next couple of weeks - or until I get up to date with Uni stuff, I'm not going to be around a whole lot.
Just sort of letting you all know so you don't think I've disappeared under a massive pile of stress.

Well, folks. This is it...for a few days, at least. Not exactly sure when I'll be up and running again, but Neko-chan and I are moving in together. The 18-hour trip begins in about 45 minutes. I'll try to have my computer assembled and back in the Playground ASAP.

Be well, and DFTBA!

I've decided to get outta here. There's too much bitching, moaning and arguing about "optimizing" which is simply the politically correct term for "min/maxing" or "powergaming".

It's a game. Don't take it so seriously.

Pwease come back, I return to the forum to find it a barren and cookie-less wasteland. I'm having to make do with a welcome-back blueberry muffin.

Umm...Goodluck while you're gone. Personally, I've found the way to avoid "optimizing" as an issue is to stay outta the 3.5 threads.

Not leaving, just explaining my current and likely on-going almost absence-

I've been busy. I'm twenty one, and for the first time in my adult life, I'm single, and I'm working fifty five hours a week.
So! I'm dating and hanging out and going to clubs and bars and working and sleeping.
And while the Playground has been a lovely home for years and years and years, its kinda my...lesser priority.
Anyways, I love you guys, and I'll still be around from time to time. Just wanted you all to know.

Well, it's now or never I guess.

I'm heading on a trip to Greece later today, and I'm afraid I won't have my laptop with me. So, for the next week, goodbye playground. I'll be back on about the 25th. (time zones and all that, I can't be sure exactly when.)

Have fun! we'll miss you. Be sure to try swimming if you're ever near water, they have wonderful sealife and water temperature.
