I know I haven't been posting regularly for a while now, but I think I've hit a point where I need to leave the forums altogether.

I intend to return at some point, but I don't want to make promises about when or even if it will happen.

I do not know if I have spoken to you at all myself before, but I know that I see you as an important part of the posting community here, when you show. I hope your time away from the forum is spent well, and look forward to the point of your eventual return.

So... I haven't been posting here anymore, and probably won't be ever again.

If anyone's interested in why or wants contact info in general, shoot me a PM. I'll try and check every once in a while.

Bye.

Sorry to see you go. I don't think we interacted much, but it's always sad to lose someone.

The board will be a lesser place without you.

I did cry. And then had a minor panic attack.

Good-bye Cyc. I don't think we ever really did talk, but I do respect you as one of the awesome forum members I looked up to back when I started. <hugs>

*hugs* to everyone.

I really do love a lot of GitP members and have some wonderful memories. For those of you who don't know, I met my current girlfriend here (as well as many close friends). I'd love to stay in touch with so many of you, and hopefully will. But I just don't feel safe or comfortable here any more. I hope you can understand.

As the prophecy foretold, the indefinite period of my back-ness is over. I am going to be gone for quite a while, say, around six months-ish.

frown Re: Goodbye, So Long, Farewell II

Right, I'm leaving.

Hopefully not permanently.

And maybe I'm too thin skinned, that's possible.

But I feel unwelcome on the parts of the forum that I love, and I have no other real place. I'm drowning in loads of work IRL, so maybe it'll be better if I'm gone anyway.

But that's beside the point.

I can't stay here any longer. I quit the chat room for similar reasons, and now it's spreading to here. I'm constantly coming away from GITP feeling terrible, worse than before, and that has to stop. I'm on thin enough ice when it comes to my mental well-being, and I cannot afford to ruin that by indulging my optimistic side, which keeps trying to screen out the bad times, and stay here.

I'll be online for the rest of today, so feel free to PM me if there's anything I have to do before I leave I've forgotten. I'll also be remaining in my DnD game, so those guys don't have to worry about replacing me 'n all. But I am taking at least a long break from the main forums.

I'm sorry I failed you.

<hugs>

It's like a forum-based Hotel California. Except without the cannibalism and suggestive sexual references.
