Figured i should do this.
Well i actually left PC around 5 days ago, ive just been on to answer PM's etc. I saw Anti's blog post and thought i should really explain myself as to what "this" is too since people have been asking me.
In a nutshell this is where i get off the crazy train for PC and Pokemon. Pokecommunity is no longer fun for me, when i joined i saw things in colour here, i was enthusiastic and now everything has gone to a shade of grey starting since last year actually. I thought this would get better if i wasn't a mod anymore as that was a hassle for me and for a time i was happier but that is no longer the case.
About a good 90% of people who i could consider myself close to have left and i no longer enjoy Pokemon as you've probably seen recently. In addition ive seen the rather unsavory side of certain people who i thought i was friends with as of late. The CBC also is depressing and hasn't been active or fun in a number of years and i think the way Anti put it in a PM was perfect "I'll leave it to someone else to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic." So i asked myself, "what am i staying here for if im not happy?" and i figured if im asking myself this then i shouldn't be here, you gut instinct isn't wrong most of the time.
Another reason that came up was that ive run my course in Pokemon anyway, ive basically done all you can accomplish in competitive Pokemon. My records speak for themselves regardless of what you think of me, ive beaten/gotten to #1 on basically every major ladder in Pokemon either this gen or last and beaten basically all the big names in competitive Pokemon at one time or another on the ladder. There is literally nothing more majorly i can do and i think that's why i don't enjoy Pokemon anymore. Lastly, i have other priorities in my life right now such as my college, work, irl friends and my bodybuilding. In the end all the aforementioned added up and the answer was "ive lost my smile" here.
Still dont think you can get away with posting awful teams though as i may have to go old school on your ass lol! Seriously though, it wont be for anything other than to answer PM's/VM's.
Ill still be keeping in contact with my close friends on MSN, if you want my msn PM me.
2007-2012, its been a hell of a ride, thankyou all so much. Ive met some amazing people here and irl because of here. I will never forget you all.
A tout le monde (To all the world!)
A tout mes amis (To all my friends)
Je vous aime (I love you)
Je dois partir (I must leave)
Peace out, James. xxx

Figure I should a say a little something.
I wasn't one of those 2007 oldies but I've been here longer then most. I've seen most of our members leave except you and Anti. You've contributed a hell of a lot and it's probably the right time to leave if it's becoming more of a chore then a hobby.
All I gotta say was you made S&M a much better place.
Good luck buddyPosted July 23rd, 2012 at 12:29 PM by Pokedra
