This is Comrade, Signing Off

The only way you can make me leave it by banning me.

And that will never happen. Right?




Right????
 
I agree with what other people have said, why/how do you decide to 'leave' a website? If you lose interest, don't you just drift away eventually? Why the drama? It's pretty artificial. I feel this is therefore quite justified:



That said, if a messageboard is such an important part of your life that you have to make an announcment and have a leaving party like this when you leave, it probably IS a good idea to leave. That doesn't neccessitate any of this, though.
Also, 9 days before Episode 1? Whu?
 
People make a good bye thread because they want to see who says good bye to them or they make it so instead of people wondering where you went, they know that you left with no intention of coming back, but we all know you can't stay away...


EDIT: I just wanted to say that whoever banned Lemonking, I LOVE YOU!

Come, Samon! Let us skip to the Half - Life 2 forums and discuss Ichthyosaurs! And ADRIAN SHEPARD!

Never really knew ye Badger, but I really enjoyed reading your posts. Come back soon!

Have some respect. Badger has been with the forums for three years, and contributed a lot over that time, as long as being one of the best forum moderators we've had.

As you can see from some of the replies in this thread, he actually has some friends here and I think it's wholly appropriate for them to be addressed directly.

Let's just keep quoting this image until it fills every page, shall we?

Thank-you "pomegranate", for rationally deciding not to call everyone's attention to your personal problem with a big red jpeg.

What a superbly inventive response!

And this is my response to a 'goodbye thread', as I explained. I'll say no more because some people are obviously a bit touchy when it comes to their precious internet friendship circles ;)

Are you jealous of our precious internet friendship circles?

Why do you even bother to post?

It's like me coming into your farewell party and making fun of people for having friends.

Or, more accurately, for having a farewell party.
 
Yeah. This is a community, although people can't see each other. Mostly.

You don't need to post that in every thread. See, now look what has happened, this is just another spam thread to go into the pile. :frown:

You made it one by not ignoring it.
 
Pomegranite, your a prat. Comrades one of the best members to ever have posted here. I for one will miss his postings, if you don't, quite frankly fo.
 
Im just trying to convice people it's better to stay. Don't leave, just take a break.

Are you SURE you live in the US? Your accent... and your foreign words, such as 'prat', lead me to believe you don't <laughs> Unless you moved here after living elsewhere.

Well said... *clap clap

and that's not being sarcastic. If I never visited the off-topic category, I would never even know about people leaving or getting banned. I've always liked the discussion in the half-life 2 categorys so that's where I'll always base my posts. Off-topic is just a laugh.

I very VERY rarely venture out of The Lounge. Hell, I never visit the half-life 2 sections of this forum.

I doubt I'll ever leave; the site would have to die first.
Motherf*ckin' QFT.

Well, actually, I might leave quite often, but never forever, and never with a thread. For example, I haven't been posting much recently - it's exam season.

Erm, well my local fastfood place sells freedom fries and I think Austrialias france so yeh, I'm quite sure I'm...............

Joking, I live in the UK, why did you think I was from the US?
 
Ikerous said:
So basically badger is saying he thinks this place sucks so he's going to post exclusively with his hetairian friends? And people are sad? I say, go **** yourself. AL did the same thing.
Anyone notice Bliink has only had what, four posts in the last month? Can't imagine why.
And wheres spud at? Hasn't posted once this year. I wonder where he went. :upstare:

I don't post too much anywhere these days... life is busy ya know.
One day I will re-ignite with a vengance :)
 
Ikerous said:

Er, no, I'm pretty sure he just finds his life too busy for moderating and posting in this place now. Coupled with occasional disgust at half the forum's membership, maybe.

Umm because not too long ago you claimed to live in the united states? At least I think it was you.

Could be so, i live in Austalia but was not born hear, in fact only half Austalian.

Anyway i'm sure Comrade dosen't want to go like this, why would you want people bitching in your goodbye thread? all i have to say is "bye Comrade it was nice posting with you".

nope. Wasn't me.

I don't think that's exactly the case, but even if it was, so what?
If you're not enjoying a conversation, you needn't keep talking.

I used to think you were cool. Now I think you're spiteful.

Badger's been a awesome member of this community, and he's left to occupy himself with real life things like University. Everyone is saddened by his departure I think.
Spud and AL have more important things to think about right now.
Bliink's explained herself.

You can say anything you like about Hetairia, but I think you owe those four an apology.

Sorry to drag this thread down everyone, I just felt I had to justify those members that couldn't comment in their absence. :(
