Sorry to hear that Mooncat. Good luck on the flip side.
Though I must admit, having two people in a row leave because they were too uncomfortable to stay on is a tad disconcerting...

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>
MoonCat
Nuuuuuu!
It wasn't my shipping, was it? I really hope it wasn't.

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>
Same to you Mooncat, but even more so. The forum will be a lot suckier without you.
*cries*

I was thinking similar thoughts...

Eh. I'm gone. I'm too much of a negative influence. But nothing is forever. It all depends on how much I can stand to stay away. I might visit the chat a bit, and anyone who really wants to talk to me can PM me for my AIM.
Later, party people.

Eh, i haven't been on recently much. Probably going to take an extended absence for personal reasons. I might check my messages from time to time, but don't expect too much.
Until I return, hopefully I will, So long and thanks for all the fish.

I'm a pretty good listener. If you EVER need to vent, someone that listens to what you are saying or just want to talk, my PM box is always open.
Actually, nevermind. Cobalt has convinced me to stay.
Yes yes yes yes YES!

Well, now seems as good a time as any to announce I'll be shipping out to basic training in a week. Dunno when I'll get to come back (depends on what's made available to me at my training post-basic), but at minimum it'll be a couple months.
I'll still post or at least lurk here in the brief interim remaining, but still -- bye in advance!

Bai Phee. Have fun, don't talk back, have an interesting and life changing experience for the better, and most importantly... virtual postcards!
*goodbye hug*

Right now I'm a wreck... which is surprisingly good for me, however it means I need some time to sort things out and the playground is sadly a time drain, a very entertaining fulfilling time drain at that, but at the end something contrary to my current needs. While I won't really quit it I probably will disappear for a time if not for some years.
I will try within my realm of possibility to complete whatever avatar requests I already have before completing my metaphorical separation from the playground (and probably will keep taking requests within certain parameters) and I'll still be around the PbP I'm enrolled into.
It's been a wonderful year playground, but I've decided a Tunnel with an internet connection is probably not the healthiest way of living.

Come back soon August.
Your avatars were what inspired me to start doing my own.
