I would like to thank you all for your time here and giving me a place to express my views, opinions, and letting me share my views with the community. I'm not complaining or wanting to cause a scene, I'm just taking a leave because I no longer feel comfortable here.

Once again, thank you for your time. :)

You were minimodding - breaking the rules of the forum. If you can't agree to those then you don't belong here. :)

It's not required.

People can create a return thread, only if they want to. :3

Stronkadonk June 28th, 2009 3:06 PM

Peace out, all. It's time I get a life and get off the internet. It's become quite boring, and I'd rather have a better entertainment in my life. Hell, I'd rather get a life. So I'm going to be leaving the internet until further notice, with the exception of YouTube. It's been a good run, but it's time I face up to the facts on keep moving onward. Bye to all, and please enjoy this spam in my farewell post.

bit.trip void June 28th, 2009 3:13 PM

Ah well, Illuminati. I hope you had some great times here, and I know fo sho that a lot of people will miss you. Bye~

Need to take a break from PC. Real life is more important.

The Red Chain June 29th, 2009 1:26 PM

Yup, I'm leaving.
I don't know when I'll be back, but it'll be quite a while from now.
Then again, I may not return at all. Goodbye everyone, it's been fun~

Well, I've finally decided that I will be leaving for three weeks, at least. I may not be back for quite some time though. Recently, my activity has been dropping and I am losing things to do here. All I generally do is have this window open with this on. I don't really post at all. I am sad at this, but I am going to say goodbye and I don't know when I'll be back (I know I will be). If you are a good friend of mine - Aero., Toto, Pan!ko - then you can still contact me via yahoo. My address will be posted below. Goodbye PC, I have had myself the best time of my life here. Goodbye!

Later, Saphira. I will definitely miss you, especially all that time in the Den between me, Blaze, Kairyu, Dukey, and Shadow.

Later dude.

SuperBob July 1st, 2009 2:08 PM

We will miss you Hourglass! If you do come back, please let us know by posting in the New User Section. Farewell!

Lalapizzame July 2nd, 2009 12:02 PM

Going to be taking a break from PC, it'll be 2 - 4 weeks long, just decided I've spent too much time on pc for a while and wanted to do something else. ;3

I'll still be on MSN and Shoddy though (although a lot less than normal for the latter), no worries. b('_')b

Whatever, have fun in what you're deciding to do ;3

Tyrantrum July 4th, 2009 12:46 PM

Hey guys, just to let you know, I'm gonna be gone for the rest of the day. I'm going up to Tempe to see the fireworks, and then I'm going to be staying the night there. So, I'll be back tomorrow.

Bye~

Hey, don't leave because of other people! If they're being rude, or mean, report them and ignore them! Don't let how someone else treats you affect what you do; if you enjoy your time here at PC without them, then stay!

I second that. D:

Report them if they're mistreating you. That is against the rules, being disrespectful, so you shouldn't let them get to you. Staff can deal with it, and try to help you out. o-o

Saltare. July 5th, 2009 7:35 PM

Thanks, but I don't think I wanna go through that whole thread and click the "report" button on almsot everyone that posted.

And you guys are right.

You could link one of the higher staff members to the entire thread. o.o Or that section's moderator.. I'm not sure which area the thread is in, so.. nn;

*sigh* It's in the Off-Topic Discussions board.

I am just reall sick and tired of them thinking that this is a lie.

Oh, I think I know which thread you mean.. :/ I can understand that, but if they think it's a lie, then that proves something about them. = =; If you'd rather just stop the whole thing, you can request for the thread to be closed. Well, unless you wanna keep it open, still..

Saltare. July 5th, 2009 8:29 PM

I'd love to have it closed. But people keep giving me bad reputation saying "I love the lies you tell!" and stuff like that.

If it's really undeserved negative rep, then admins can delete it.

Once the thread is closed, or even deleted, people might forget about it pretty fast.

Either way, I don't think it's worth leaving over.. we can close the thread, and get rid of the bad rep.

Saltare. July 5th, 2009 8:34 PM

I'd love that, thank you.

If you want people to stop calling you a liar backup your claims with evidence

Taemin July 5th, 2009 8:43 PM

That won't stop everyone, to be honest.. x__x;;

Anyhoo, I went ahead and reported the thread.

Saltare. July 5th, 2009 8:51 PM

Oaky.

The only evidence I have is you talk to Loren and ask him. And I know I'm not going to post his cell phone number on the internet

engage' July 5th, 2009 9:14 PM

Honestly, these are the sorts of people that you shouldn't even consider to dare about thinking to even give notice to what they say (no offense). If you ignore them, they realise you win because your more mature than them in the fact that you can handle any sort of criticism or BS they give you and move on.

Penguin13 July 6th, 2009 1:01 AM

Bye for a while.
 
Shipping out for BCT and AIT in the morning. I'll be gone for 20 weeks.

As for some of the things I wanna say before I leave:

I don't like most of you guys. You're annoying. Those news threads are pissing me off. I lie constantly. I've been driving for the past month without a license, and I cruise around looking for people to race. I win most times. I've never been pulled over, even though 95% of the time I'm going 15mph+ over the limit. I took my sister's Mustang out a couple of times to do some donuts and burnouts to show off, trying to pick chicks up. I've ran over a squirrel, several birds, mongoose, dog, and two deers, and it didn't phase me at all. I've hit my ex-girlfriend on several occasions. She broke up with me, and I pretended to care. Secretly, I was glad because I had more time to myself and my car. I half-assed an attempt to get back together with her, just because she was great in bed. I almost had anonymous sex with a Korean chick at an airport while we were dating. I kick myself every time I think about it because I passed that up. One of my good friends went to the hospital because she tried to kill herself over me. I was the only one out of about 20 people that didn't visit her. I brielfly dated someone just to borrow their X-Box and NDS. I have a shopping bag full of brand new t-shirts that I haven't worn because I'm too fat for them. I can also eat whatever I want and not gain any weight. I've been hovering around 200 for the past 7 months. I don't socialize with anyone in my neighborhood. The most words I've had with anyone on my block is a hello and how are you doing. I ultimately caused the suicide of one of my classmates. I have two of my old teacher's books. I meant to give them back, and I still want to, but it's been so long that I'm embarassed to take them back. I've used about $250 worth of gas since I got my car just cruising around. 95% of the time I drive I have no destination. I blast music out of my windows hoping someone will compliment me on it. I've made about 50 moving violiations and have not gotten any tickets. Someone dropped their wallet behind them at the airport, and I didn't return it to them because it had about $500 cash in it; instead, I turned it in at the lost and found because "I found it in a planter just like it is."

That's about it I guess. I'm really tired and I need to wake up early.

.Seth July 6th, 2009 4:56 AM

Yeah, I'm going to be taking a breather from PC.

If you want to know my reasons, here. PC just seems...unethical right now. I can't really have (post) my opinion without yada yada.. you know. I'm also getting very sick and tired of people getting these LOADS of positive rep just out of nowhere. I'm not jealous, but it's annoying to me when I know that it kind of happened overnight. Also, I'm just getting sick of dealing with people on here. Some of you people are just rude sometimes. You may not know it, but you are.

~Rose-quartz Iatos July 6th, 2009 3:47 PM

I have randomly returned after being absent for a couple months. :P

Starsky July 6th, 2009 4:30 PM

I'll be away from PC for a week or so(going away somewhere).

See you bye:D

Zero° July 6th, 2009 8:20 PM

I thought I would give everyone an early notice....I'm leaving PC for a month. I ummm...got a call from my grandma saying she bought plane tickets to my home island, Puerto Rico :D I can't wait to go there, yet, I'll miss you guys. My family doesn't have internet over there, so I won't be able to get on. But if they do get one, expect me sooner. I'm leaving in about a week, so I might not get on, due to having to pack up, etc. So if you need anything from me, please tell me before a week passes. Take care, guys! And have a great summer!

~Zero-the hero of light

Micro July 7th, 2009 1:19 AM

HI GUYZZZZ. OKAY...

I guess some of you noticed my inactive-ness, not replying to your VMs, etc... and I guess I'll continue to be inactive. And, I'm trying to take a break from PC.. Really. Wish me luck~ And... here's one reason why.

I am kinda broed, so I'll get inactive for some time to come back later. I'll be here less often from now on. If you want to tell me something leave a message and I'll send one back when I'm on.

Sincerely ~11wildy~

I think anyone who is musically inclined is awesome.. cause I'm not XD

I'm sure you'll figure it out, there have to be some guides on the internet out there on how to upload music to myspace.

Like I said before, the best of luck to you!

Scarface July 10th, 2009 8:25 AM

Well, It pains me to say it. but... I'm leaving PC.

I've enjoyed my, quite frankly, short stay here, but I can't stay, mainly for real world reasons. I'm so sorry, everyone. If you see a dragon-type fanatic joining in the next few days, give him a greeting from me. Thank you, everyone, for your kind and noble hospitality. Now, I'm afraid this is goodbye. Au Revoir. (Plays sad music)

Well, see you guys around~

Tyrantrum July 15th, 2009 9:39 PM

For the next/last three weeks of Summer, I might not be on as much. You see, my nephew and niece are here. So they will be here until school starts, which means, even less time. So, yeah...

s0nido July 17th, 2009 3:16 AM

Okay, well, I'll be gone for who knows how long. I think I've had enough of PC, and it's time for me to leave. I don't know exactly how long I'll be gone, but chances are I'll probably not return at all.

Yeah, just wanted to say goodbye to all my friends here and all, and hope they don't leave too.
Chances are I might show up in a few days >:o)

Serpine July 17th, 2009 3:39 AM

I wish I could stay, but I can't, I'm truly sorry, particularly to Nopiddy, the Leader of the Bronze League. It's because of real world situations, and I feel that I will never return here to PC. This is it, the final waltz.... Goodbye.

Alexithymia~ July 17th, 2009 11:35 AM

.. I can haz absence?~

Umm, ja. I'm going on holiday from tommorow .. [the 18th for me] till about the 2nd of August.
The place I'm staying has no internet access, well that's a lie, they did have it but they said it doesn't work now or they've taken it out.. something ridiculous anyway~

So, see you later :3

That's right, it's time for this L/A thread to close up, with the intent on creating a new one, for a fresh start. (Just the same as with the New Users Hangout!)

So for those of you needing to post a leaving message, please check out the new thread. It will be sticked here soon, and this one will be taken down. ~
