Topic: Goodbye Everyone or am I?

[GoldenPhoenix]

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



Sophia

[BeautifulShy]

Well it is going to be hard seeing less of you Golden. You are one of my favorite posters. You always bring good discussion to the forums.  I have lots of fun with you in Animal Crossing:City Folk.

You have my email so drop me a line if you like.
As for me and my posting I have in the past few months I have been trying to play through my backlog and I like to spend alot of time on them.

[that Baby guy]

It's too bad to see you leave, but I can't blame you for losing some interest in video games, either.  Hopefully you find something you enjoy to do with your time, but we'll miss having you around!

[BeautifulShy]

I'm curious as to what new interests you have GP that you mentioned having.

[ShyGuy]

Sell your HD systems and games for extra cash!

Goodbye Sophia, It'll be lonely being the only Washingtonian on the board.

[ThePerm]

wow, someone just closed their dupe account

j/k

i would say goodbye, but i can still talk to you on myspace...keep me a friend

[BeautifulShy]

Sell your HD systems and games for extra cash!

Goodbye Sophia, It'll be lonely being the only Washingtonian on the board.

Stratos lives up in Washington.

[Stratos]

But, but...

Sell your HD systems and games for extra cash!

Goodbye Sophia, It'll be lonely being the only Washingtonian on the board.

Thanks for ignoring me...

[ShyGuy]

I mean, you would think there would be lots of Washington gamers on NWR, what with Nintendo and Microsoft being in the state and Seattle being a hi-tech city, but no. Once DAaaMan64 and GP left, I'm the only Washington resident on the board.

[King of Twitch]

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Good luck with whatever you're off to doing GP, but I'm sure you're not the only one around here that either isn't all that interested in games lately or just doesn't really play all that many games to begin with.
But hopefully you swing by and start a conversation about True Blood when the next season starts.

Our active poster count may have just went down to 34 now

[NWR_DrewMG]

Sad to see you go, GP.  Hope to see you around again in the future.  And if you want, feel free to tune into the Newscast!  I don't know that we're ever going to have listener mail on the show, but it's always a possibility. 

Anyways, good times playing mafia with you, and good luck in the future.

[BeautifulShy]

Speaking of Mafia I hope you play in my game GP. You did a wonderful job with your game.

[GoldenPhoenix]

I appreciate the thoughts. Maxi I can try to play your mafia game. In regards to what my interests are? Well really just life in general, finding a new job, trying to get back into writing, reading, pushing myself to socialize more outside of the internet, and just all around finding new things that I can enjoy.

[D_Average]

I didn't know you too well but I wish you the best outside of NWR!  I gave up games for a decade once and now I'm just as addicted. Strange time to loose interest though. I don't know how people stayed excited 98 - 2005.....

[Mop it up]

I almost thought this was going to be a joke topic before I clicked on it. I did notice that you haven't been posting much but I thought it was because you had just been busy.

I've never really been through a period of being bored of gaming before so I can't say I know what that's like. But, it's just a hobby, so if it no longer holds your interest then find something else to occupy your time. Maybe you'll miss it and come back to it at some point, maybe you won't. You certainly don't have any obligation to continue to come here if it doesn't suit your interest.

I kind of agree with you about the industry though, I feel like it it losing its artistry with each passing year. Back in the day before gaming was so established, companies were never really sure what would be a hit so they experimented with various ideas and created whatever game they wanted, and hoped it would be accepted by the game-buying public. Nowadays, it seems like the main focus of game development is to create something that can be marketed to the masses, even if that means stripping away what makes it unique and interesting.

I'm touched to see your shout-out to me, even though I feel like we never really talked all that much. You're still one of my inspirations for joining up here and it's a shame to see you go. Nobody could ever hope to replace you, and I'm certainly not going to try. That doesn't mean that I won't still remind people here that they are, in fact, goobers.

I wish you the best with your new endeavors. May happiness follow you, wherever you go.

[Arbok]

Bill, Mario, GP... it seems like the NWR forums die a little each passing year from why I enjoy coming here and lurking so much... So sad. :-(

Good luck GoldenPhoenix in wherever life takes you next.

[vudu]

Will you stay if I ban Ian and D_Average? 

Best of luck with where ever life may take you.

Don't be a stranger!  Pop in every now and then to say hi.

[Stratos]

Bill, Mario, GP... it seems like the NWR forums die a little each passing year from why I enjoy coming here and lurking so much... So sad. :-(

Good luck GoldenPhoenix in wherever life takes you next.

It's how things like this work I guess. This place does have an amazing list of tenured posters but times must change and people must move on. I guess we just have to hope that the new people can hold the fort down in the stead of the old guard's passing.

I don't check my mySpace very often, GP, but don't hesitate to send me a message or an email or even a Wii message if you want to chat. I enjoyed our talks about all the things that NWR forbids 

You will be missed something fierce though.

[EasyCure]

*now where have i seen that logo before...

[Plugabugz]

I understand the reason why you don't play games that often these days. I'm not really. I do hope you will come in and keep us all happy from time to time

Safe journeys

[IceCold]

Bill, Mario, GP... it seems like the NWR forums die a little each passing year from why I enjoy coming here and lurking so much... So sad. :-(

Yeah, we're far away from what I consider PGC's golden age (2003-2005). The only actives I see still remaining (glancing around quickly) are you, vudu, BnM, Kashogi, Pro, KDR, ShyGuy, Pale and Ian. And of course stevey, whose grammar has improved so much that it makes me nostalgic. Does TVman still post (or whatever his new name is?) What about Caliban?

Anyway, sorry to hear you're leaving GP. You should drop in once a while to check on everyone like I do (and make sure no one changes your avatar!) - don't have to talk about games. You can just visit the General Chat and Funhouse boards.

[Khushrenada]

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.

Wow. Surprising. Especially after all the posts of the high amount of games you purchase or would purchase in the future.

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.

Heh. There is more to these forums than talking about games. Honestly, I hardly ever frequent the console discussion forum. One can have a lot of fun in the community sections. These forums are a lot better if you don't feel like you have to maintain a presence and can just come and go as you please. So, maybe that will help you find some fun in them again.

Anyways, I'll say goodbye although it doesn't seem like you are totally leaving but just reducing your time here. I understand that need and take time off from visiting here now and again.

[oohhboy]

Wow, in some ways I feel the same and have acted so. I have just never made a big announcement to the fact. I mean, what in blazes am I doing here in an Nintendo forum given I don't own a Wii?!? Well I do have a DS, but that hasn't been given a lot of game time lately. Hell the only non-handheld game machine I have in is current gen is a Hackintosh (that blows the current gen console out of the water) and I have every Nintendo console back to NES sans VB.

I will get a Wii some day, just not in the short term. given that my life is just about to make some big jumps soon (heres hoping), I got to stay lightweight for the time being.

Although I never knew you well enough personally, you always have my respect.

On the other hand Kush has a point, he always has a point. Maybe I should go review Behind Enemy Lines 2: Axis of Evil. Here a preview. It's ****.

[Caterkiller]

Crap I must be on the dislike list...

Later GP! Good luck in all things you set out to do! It's a big world so there is lots and lots to do. Hopefuly we see you around when Zelda Wii comes out.

I think I had you on myspace before I dumped my account. I'll find you on facebook.

Wish you the best lady!

[decoyman]

Is it because I left Ventress out of the story? Look, I fixed it!

Check it out, Ventress kicks some butt!

[NWR_Lindy]

LAME. Boooooooo.

Good luck GP, you'll be missed.  Also hit me up in LOTRO, I'm playing pretty much daily now...that is, if you still feel like gaming.

[Pale]

Sad to see you go, but happy to see you leaving for your own reasons instead of for being angry at another user or something.

Good luck!

I give it a week and she'll be back. =P

[Arbok]

Yeah, we're far away from what I consider PGC's golden age (2003-2005).

Ha ha... yeah I have the same "golden age" for the forums as you IceCold.

I don't know if I would consider myself active, though, since I come and go in phases and prior to this it had been almost half a year since I popped in around here. I will attest, though, to being happy when I did come back and seeing a lot of familiar faces like GP, Pro, and BnM.

The forums change. Each day they lose a little from why I love them so much, but at the same time it's amazing how long some of the users here have been active.

EDIT: oh, and funny, I realize that my most distinct memory of GP is those epic "arm wrestling" matches we got into during the Dojo updates for Smash Bros Brawl... good times.

[ThePerm]

i would say thats the golden age too, i was in the silver, and bronze age though
Definitely 2003-2005 were a good time, thats "nintendo's next console" speculation through wii launch, but things were great in the dolphin to gcn speculation era too. Notice, iv been posting more outside the funhouse lately? That means new Zelda draws near.

[Nick DiMola]

Best of luck, Sophia. You were definitely one of my good friends here in the forums and I'm sad to see you go. Hopefully you'll be in and out of here as time goes on and maybe I'll even see you over on PixlBit.

[ThePerm]

see, i signed up for pixlbit, but saw no forums. If they are there and i can't find them then...FAIL

[broodwars]

Well, this is a shame.  For all that we disagreed on, GP, we agreed on a lot more and had quite a few good discussions.  Well, you were always a good poster here and you'll be missed, so I look forward to a day when gaming becomes more interesting and more feasible to you so you may return.

[NWR_pap64]

Sorry for not responding sooner, GP, but I am sad to hear that you are leaving. But at the very least, you are leaving on a good note, and as previously noted, we will still be around, so don't be a stranger now!

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I'll happily leave once my post count is high enough.

[EasyCure]

I'll happily leave once my post count is high enough.

i'm next in line for the *huggles crown!

[ThePerm]

pro... never leave :O

[Stratos]

Pro won't leave. He'll just change his name again and all the new people will call him something else and wonder why we call him Pro.

[EasyCure]

Pro is the madona of theforums, always reinventing herself to stay relavant

[RABicle]

COuld you bring Pittboi back then if you're leaving?

[Mop it up]

For quite some time I didn't realize that people were referring to NinGurl69 *huggles whenever they said "Pro" or "Pro Daisy".

[BlackNMild2k1]

Out of curiosity, who or what did you think we were referring to?

[Mop it up]

I thought that Professional 666 had left the site and people were still talking about him for whatever reason, and NinGurl69 *huggles was an entirely different person. I never really gave it much thought...

[SilverGrey]

I didn't realize it was the same person either.  I thought it was just a nickname he'd earned being called Pro.  I also thought he was a girl too, so I'm not the best person to be asking who I thought Pro was because I apparently had everything confused.

[Mop it up]

Out of curiosity, is the reason you thought he was a girl because his username is NinGurl?

[SilverGrey]

Yeah, I guess.  I'm sure there's a story behind the username.  Same with the huggles thing.

[BeautifulShy]

Yeah there is a story behind the Ningurl69*huggles name. Around the time that Brawl was coming out he decided to change his name to Ningurl69*huggles as a way to get people to think he was a girl when playing Brawl so "she" would get all these overly aggressive players that like to have superioity complexes but Pro basically beats everyone on here for the most part.

*huggles is just to add a little bit more to the user name because Ningurl69 is kind of plain.

[SilverGrey]

And now I know the rest of the story.  Before I joined up I had sorted out that Pro was the same person as NinGurl, and that neither of them were girls.  He always struck me as kind of a strange girl as it was, kind of.....crass.  Also all the avatars of various bits of Daisy were a hint.

[BlackNMild2k1]

There is a lot of contradiction going on between these 2 post.

You're right, there is, but it's all true.  I've been lurking for a while and there was a period of time where I was confused, followed by a period of time where I sorted it out, and then I joined up.

[nickmitch]

Bye, Sophie!
I'll miss you.

well obviously pro had a period of confusion as well, so its all good.

[NWR_Lindy]

Pro is sex on a stick.

Somebody had to say it.

[Mop it up]

I've been lurking for a while and there was a period of time where I was confused, followed by a period of time where I sorted it out, and then I joined up.

Same here, it was back when I was a lurker that I thought Professional 666 and NinGurl were two different people. I just didn't pay much attention to who was who because that doesn't matter much to somebody who never posts.

[EasyCure]

Pro is sex on a stick.

Somebody had to say it.

i'm not sure what that means but it doesnt sound good...

[BlackNMild2k1]

It means he comes with batteries and is built with waterproof (lifelike realskin®) casing.

[EasyCure]

Oh okay...

Ew

[GoldenPhoenix]

Thanks for the sweet posts, it means a lot to me. I consider so many here friends that leaving this place feels like leaving a digital home. I'll still pop in for big news reveals like E3, and I of course need to hype Endless Ocean 2 when it comes out.

[BeautifulShy]

I plan on getting Endless Ocean 2 when it comes out. I want to play online with you GP.

[Stratos]

And here I just finished watching the first season of True Blood...who am I going to talk to about it? She is the one that convinced me to check it out.

[vudu]

It's been a week.  At this point Bill had 280 replies to his quitting thread.  Seems that Bill was more popular than GP.   

[BeautifulShy]

It's been a week.  At this point Bill had 280 replies to his quitting thread.  Seems that Bill was more popular than GP.   

I think it had to do with the circumstances surrounding both of the departures. Bill was tired of what was happening around here and there was a recent event that made him and pretty much everyone upset. GP said she is leaving. No controversies no big events on why she is leaving. She just left.

[vudu]

Maxi, it's okay to admit you like Bill more.  No one will be mad.  We'll protect you from GP.

I can't ever tell if Maxi totally isn't seeing the humor and is being way too serious... or if he is seeing the humor and returning it with fake seriousness.

[DAaaMan64]

wtf iz this


besides, wats funhouse have to do with gaming

[ShyGuy]

Wait, DAaaMan is back? Why wasn't I told?

[BlackNMild2k1]

I can't ever tell if Maxi totally isn't seeing the humor and is being way too serious... or if he is seeing the humor and returning it with fake seriousness.

Many things tend to soar high above Maxi's head because he was taking things a little too seriously.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

When old forumers leave, others come back.  It's like Underworld and the vampire elders.

Oh no, I mentioned vampires.

by the way, make that 25 post

[Kairon]

OH GEEZ!

I'll totally miss you GP, but I totally understand scaling back. I've sort of..disappeared myself... for the past year or so... The truth is that just being here on this forum, or even on the internet takes a lot of energy and time, and those are finite resources to be balanced against any other things in our lives.  I guess some people would consider you being less on NWR as a good sign... But it isn't good for those of us you're leaving behind!

T_T

Hope you pop back in every once in awhile GP. I'll totally get Endless Ocean 2 in the hopes of playing with you. And good luck! because I bet that whatever it is you're leaving us for is probably uber awesome or something.

*sigh*

time is so cruel.

[Dasmos]

This isn't even a goodbye thread. She basically said "I'm leaving, but lol, not really. Only a bit."

Make a goodbye thread and stick to it, don't come back. Or if you do at least make a dupe.

I think the forum community is just naturally keeping the balance.

A prominent female member of the community steps down and another arrives to take her place.

The balance is maintained and the community endures.

Being a Disney spy would be kinda fun, don't you think?  Seeing as they actually exist and all.  Anyhow, if I was spying, I don't know if this would be a good site to spy on, everyone disagrees about what they want.  So all I could report is there is no cohesive agreement on........well, anything.

"While Test Site B seems to lack cohesive agreement on the majority of presented topics, they do appear to desire a game that will be moar Epic.  Suggestions as to how this should be presented will be forthcoming, provided the topic can be broached to obtain the collective opinion, with minimal amount of disruption and lack of focus."

[EasyCure]

Am I being discussed again?  I thought everyone agreed I was a spy for the Disney Company with the whole Epic Mickey announcement. 

or thats what you want us to think...

Being a Disney spy would be kinda fun, don't you think?  Seeing as they actually exist and all.  Anyhow, if I was spying, I don't know if this would be a good site to spy on, everyone disagrees about what they want.  So all I could report is there is no cohesive agreement on........well, anything.

We all agree we want better 3rd party support on Wii.

except for Ian

Athena was a dupe? Did Maxi find this out on the first date?

Mop_it_up means that whenever a girl forum member arrives everybody thinks they are a dupe even if that person isn't.

I haven't seen Athena on much lately.

actually you're wrong maxi. Everyone is a dupe of S-U-P-E-R

Like The Princess. Everyone accused her of being a dupe or stalker or something. She still lurks here.

*Hi Princess!*

[Mop it up]

I think she WAS a stalker though. Wasn't she always viewing EasyCure's profile?

[Stratos]

I look at people's profiles all the time. In fact, I should have been accused of being a stalker by now because of how often I view peoples profiles.

[EasyCure]

I think she WAS a stalker though. Wasn't she always viewing EasyCure's profile?

Or your dupe trying to hide something...

I look at people's profiles all the time. In fact, I should have been accused of being a stalker by now because of how often I view peoples profiles.

I think you've already said that and we HAVE called you a stalker..

[Stratos]

Oh, right, that was my old title, wasn't it?

[Stogi]

This isn't even a goodbye thread. She basically said "I'm leaving, but lol, not really. Only a bit."

Make a goodbye thread and stick to it, don't come back. Or if you do at least make a dupe.

Yeah **** That ****!

*shifty eyess*

ahaha forgot about that...

in your defense, you probably did too

[Stogi]

What? Make a dupe?

I thought we had a bring your dupe to school day?

Besides, I didn't say I was going to completely ignore this place since I gave away my WEEEEEEEEE. I still have a DS and past gen systems. Plus where am I suppose to get my dose of immature? Canada?

[ShyGuy]

GP is gone as a regular cast member, but may make guest appearances in future episodes.

Remember when she was a spy for Microsoft?

[EasyCure]

Ah the first season; its weird to go back and watch those episdoes, everyones voice is so different than what I'm used to now.

[NWR_Lindy]

On a very special General Chat...

[EasyCure]

On a very special General Chat...

oooh the episodes starring Stogi are the funniest ones!

[Caliban]

Goodbye GoldenPhoenix.

[Athrun Zala]

Wait, DAaaMan is back? Why wasn't I told?

When old forumers leave, others come back.  It's like Underworld and the vampire elders.

Oh no, I mentioned vampires.

*sparkles*

[decoyman]

And now Athrun Zala is back too! Whoa, hi!

It is fitting that, her name being GoldenPhoenix, after she leaves lots of others are reborn from her ashes!

[ShyGuy]

When is this Phoenix Down going to bring back Infernal Monkey and Shift Key?

[Stogi]

Maybe when you stop being such a pansy.

[EasyCure]

If mario comes back.. now that'd be something to see

[Khushrenada]

Free Mario! A Nintendo forum that has banned Mario is a illogical.

I know it doesn't make sense.

Resident Evil 5

Let's turn every thread in the forums to a RE5 bashing thread!!!

[Mop it up]

I've got a better project. Call it a challenge if you will. Let's turn every thread into something positive.

QUIT TRYING TO SAVE CHRISTMAS

[BeautifulShy]

GP would want Christmas saved so none of that Canceled Christmas stuff.

[BlackNMild2k1]

GP Left. Chistmas Canceled.

GP came back and spoiled how to beat the boss in Blaster Master.
Christmas Definitely Canceled!!

[Dasmos]

Isn't it spelt cancelled? Two L's?

[Mop it up]

As far as I'm aware, "canceled" is American English and "cancelled" is British English. My spellchecker says that "cancelled" is incorrect.

[EasyCure]

You know what'd be really positive?

Resident Evil 5: Wii Edition

[BeautifulShy]

You know what'd be really positive?

Puppies for Christmas

Fixed!

[Mop it up]

You get me any kind of pet for Christmas and I'm going to let it loose in your home when you're not around.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I'll compromise and put those kittens on a kabob.

Kitten Kabobs for all!!!

[EasyCure]

I might be allergic to those too, can't tell because my girlfriend has both.

Cue bumping of "my faith in humanity.." thead.

[GoldenPhoenix]

I want to make a formal announcement. This girl is BACK to NWR. One of my new years resolutions was that I need to balance things out, and this place has been so amazing with people I consider friends. I still have my other goals but you know, why can't this be apart of it? So I'm eating crow (which are good BTW) and returning. The Gothic Princess is back, while she may not buy many games she is going to still be heard whether people want to read it or not.

Thanks for all the kind messages, and I do want to thank Maxi for the mafia game, it made me realize how much I missed this place.

Heh, welcome back!  Knew you couldn't stay away that long.

[NWR_insanolord]

See, this is why I'm glad Bill never came back. No matter how good it is to get the person back (and don't get me wrong, I'm glad you're back, GP, this place isn't the same without you), once you go through the trouble of making a scene of quitting the way GP did, coming back a few months later kind of ruins things and cheapens it.

::leaves again::  :


What can I say besides things change in life, you learn things about yourself and sometimes you second guess your decisions. Sometimes you need to admit your priorities have shifted, eat crow, and do what you feel is best.  I've had lots of time to focus and think about my life, what I've done wrong, what I could improve, and such since I "left" (though as said and did I popped in every once in awhile).

[BeautifulShy]

Glad my Mafia game got you back around here. Yes it is a visible difference with you not being here. The attitude is different without you here. I guess I can change my signature a little.

[ThePerm]

lol Maxi, I got her back I think...LOL

NWR missed GP

[Mop it up]

This may sound cheesy, but reading this topic is the only thing that's made me smile all day. 

I can understand your feelings though, GoldenPhoenix. For the past couple of months I've been so indecisive of exactly how much time I want to spend on the Internet as a whole, and a considerable chunk of that is here at Nintendo World Report. The thing with me is, I actually never intended to even be a regular poster here, and I'm still not sure how that happened. There's always something which keeps me coming back, whether it's a news story on which I want to gather insight, a new game I got about which I want to converse, an online game I can't stay away from, etc. It would seem that a community like this isn't really something which one joins, but rather is one that chooses its members. There's no escape for us. 

In any case, I'm glad you've returned.

[ThePerm]

Mop_it_up summed it up pretty well, honestly the draw of this place isn't talking about games, its talking with THESE people. I've been out of games for a while, and I need someone to brief me its so bad. At one point though you could ask me anything, and I could tell you about it. That is not the case anymore, but I do like to catch up on the forum people. I've always toyed with the idea of quitting the forums but it would be something very hard for me to give up. For 10 years I've been on the forum continuum. To some extant once could say I've learned how to be in a community. Lol, and don't you go anywhere either Mop_it_up! NO ESCAPE! and no cake either!

or spoons!

[GoldenPhoenix]

This place is like a black hole, I think I've escaped and it pulls me back in.

[ShyGuy]

You still owe us a Zombie game, ThePerm.

[Stratos]

I like to think that Maxi and I's charm is what keep GP and Mop it up here because we are awesome like that

Plus no one can separate the Animal Crossing Crew for long. we need to have a meet up to celebrate her official return).

[BeautifulShy]

Yeah we need to plan something.

[Mop it up]

I like to think that Maxi and I's charm is what keep GP and Mop it up here because we are awesome like that

I think I just vomited a little.

Listen Stratos, you're a nice guy, but there's one little thing which means we'll never get along. After all this time, you STILL don't get my username exactly right.

[vudu]

While we're on the subject, would you mind if I removed the underscores from your user name?

[NWR_DrewMG]

Welcome back, GP!

[Caliban]

Damn straight you're back, you're a Phoenix after all.

[Khushrenada]

Heh. There is more to these forums than talking about games. Honestly, I hardly ever frequent the console discussion forum. One can have a lot of fun in the community sections. These forums are a lot better if you don't feel like you have to maintain a presence and can just come and go as you please. So, maybe that will help you find some fun in them again.

Anyways, I'll say goodbye although it doesn't seem like you are totally leaving but just reducing your time here. I understand that need and take time off from visiting here now and again.

Boo-yah! Called it. GP has finally learned the true secret of the forums. Good for you and welcome back sister. Now let's have a hug. Khushrenada: Turning a feel-good moment awkward since 2007!

I was being sarcastic. And I thought it was acceptable to omit the underscores? I thought it was more the proper capitalization that bothered you? Though I might have just assumed that. (Mop it up, not mop it up or Mop It Up)

[EasyCure]

she is going to still be heard whether people want to read it or not.

I'm sorry, what?

*distracted*

There's always something which keeps me coming back

You've probably some sort of head trauma which has affected your short term memory and you simply keep forgetting to leave.

[GoldenPhoenix]

I'm sorry, what?

*distracted*

Don't need to explain myself to you.

[EasyCure]

I'm sorry, what?

*distracted*

[that Baby guy]

I kind of forgot you left >.>

To be fair, I haven't been entirely that active, and you did play in the mafia game.

[Mop it up]

I was being sarcastic.

Why does everyone take me so seriously? Honestly, I don't get it.

I thought it was acceptable to omit the underscores?

I think I said that it isn't as bad of an error as improper capitalization, but it still bothers me.

While we're on the subject, would you mind if I removed the underscores from your user name?

Yes it would, as it's been that way for five years. Plus, changing it would make Stratos right, and I can't allow that.

[Stratos]

But, but...GP is the one who is always wrong! I'm the one hated/beaten/abused by women.

I knew you were joking. I was trying to be silly back.

[D_Average]

Awesome!  Welcome back!

So fess up.  What forum did you leave us for?  Were the other faceless internet avatars wittier than us?

Seriously though.  Glad you're back.  Even though we don't always see eye to eye, I enjoy reading your thoughts.   

[Kairon]

One of my new years resolutions was that I need to balance things out, and this place has been so amazing with people I consider friends. I still have my other goals but you know, why can't this be apart of it? So I'm eating crow (which are good BTW) and returning.

Yeah, I agree. I was gone from this place for about, oh, 8/9 months. But in the end it was so much a part of me that I just had to commit myself to return. Being gone from here, I was losing touch with the person I used to know I was, and I didn't want to let that happen.

So, for you and me both GP, we're gonna just have to learn to juggle NWR with everything else life throws at us!

[decoyman]

Yay! I'm glad you're back, GP, even though I've been even more of a lurker than usual lately.

Quick, someone change my title back before she notices!

[Mop it up]

Quick, someone change my title back before she notices!

Okay but you've got to find someone else who can be my number one fan.

Same as above.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Mop_it_up
Don't hate me because I'm not GP.

   

[NWR_insanolord]

I'll be your number one fan if you get a Conan avatar.

[ShyGuy]

I really like the bad grammar of the subject title. It reminds me of Stephen Colbert's I am America (And So Can You!)

[Mop it up]

I'll be your number one fan if you get a Conan avatar.

How long would I have to use it for?

Come to think of it, I can't think of anybody who doesn't like GoldenPhoenix better. There's nothing wrong with that though, as there's a lot to like about her.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Conan's last show is tomorrow night.
So as long as you show support through tomorrow nightwith an avatar, I think you should be in the good graces of Team Coco.

[Mop it up]

I suppose I can agree to that. After all, I'm going to miss that crazy old man.

[Kairon]

I'm pretty sure that he likes GoldenPhoenix better...

Actually, I'm secretly IanSane's number one fan...

[GoldenPhoenix]

Wish I could be back stabbed and walk away with 40 million dollars. Lots would feel sorry for me.

[Stratos]

I don't think it's fair to say 'so-and-so likes so-and-so better'. Why can't I like both of you equally well?

[Dasmos]

I like Mop_it_up better.

[RABicle]

Same

[Plugabugz]

I like them both.

everybody is a winner

[Mop it up]

I don't think it's fair to say 'so-and-so likes so-and-so better'. Why can't I like both of you equally well?

What a crock. You're just trying to spare my feelings.

I'm pretty sure that he likes GoldenPhoenix better...

Actually, I'm secretly IanSane's number one fan...

I'm openly Ian Sane's number one fan.

I like Mop_it_up better.
