It is with a sad heart that I have to say goodbye to NWR, at least for the most part. I've found over the last several months my interest in gaming has been getting less and less enthusiastic, yeah there is the odd Nintendo game that I still can love (Like NSMB) but beyond that I'm finding myself not interested in any other game. The industry has gotten stagnant for me with its wannabe live action movies, and generic visual presentation. Beyond that though, I have so much more going on my life, that gaming has taken a back seat, I have other interests that have been developing. These boards have been a great place for me for several years but it is hard to get involved in any topics anymore, some have to do with certain posters who bother me, but mostly game in general are not fun for me to talk about anymore.
Now I may still pop in every once in awhile but when it comes to being an active member, those days are most likely over. I'll still check my PMs, but beyond that I'm done. There are probably quite a few that don't care that I'm leaving or are glad, and that is OK, I've never tried to win a popularity contest here, I state my opinion and if you don't agree with it, that is fine.
Before I conclude this I want to give a few messages to a select few members here who I've considered friends.
Stratos- I know I tease you an awful lot but you are awesome. Don't give up trying to bring sanity in a sometimes insane forum. Thanks for being a friend to me.
Mop_it_up- Keep this place clean girl! You are a valuable member here, and it looks like girl power will be one short now. Maybe I'll see you in Animal Crossing.
Pale- I know you get a lot of crap, but keep up the good job moderating. You've always been patient with me even when you didn't have to. Thanks.
Lindy- You are doing good work here in regards to improving NWR. Windy made a great choice, even if you are a Sony lover
Podcast crew- You guys have been my favorite podcast for so long, just keep on doing what you do!
Decoyman- You are now free to have a new person to be a number one fan of.
Yoshidious (Greggers)- The best British podcaster ever and an amazingly insightful guy.
Maxi- Haven't seen you post as much, hopefully you can contribute more often. You are the news guy after all
To all my other friends, ShyGuy, Flames, Nick, Drew, and yes even Easycure. Hope you all continue to be around NWR for years to come.
Everyone else, it has been a lot of fun. If your name wasn't listed doesn't mean you are on my dislike list but could be because I am getting senile or have to end this post sometime.
-Goodbye and hugs to the NWR community
