I'm pretty much done with PC...

It doesn't matter about posts, it's the quality of certain members. If the quality members leave, who's going to be left to teach the newer members values and how PC works, and share stories from the good old days. I just wish you stick this out, I've thought about leaving lately, but I got over the feeling.

You know, I'm trying to feel bad for you leaving, but if you're going to shut out not only the new members who are bad, but the new members who are good, than it is not easy for me to feel like you have good reasons to leave.

Also, from what I see, the new staff is perfectly fine, and all of the newer mods (i.e. JKaizer, Jedi_Amara, and myself).

When your friends move away in real life, do you just complain about how everyone else is stupid, and refuse to talk to anyone because you don't believe that there might actually be some good members? No, you continue on with life, and try to make new friends (or you just appreciate that you still have some old friends here [AND YOU DO]).

Yeah so, I hope that you eventually become inspired to be active on PC again, and hopefully you'll realize that not every new member is a n00b.

I never said every new member was an idiot...I just said that every time we try to have a constructive argument or discussion that an idiot comes in a ruins it. It happens 100% of the time..

This place has lost it's creativity...if you need me...I'll prolly be in Other Games and Mixed Art...

sha, post your feelings if you want to, I'm listening..

and hence, the discussion on establishing the new forum to punish all those poor fools... I'm going to type up a detailed plan tomorrow (too busy tonight doing homework) if no one has done that yet... so give that forum a chance. At least stay around until we got the "yes or not" from the admins about that forum, and a week or two of test run for that forum. If the forum goes through, it'll be exactly what you want.

As for the creativity, well I was never a creative person >>; Hence, I'm no poet like you.
 
I can see how all of you feel that way. For some time now, I've even found it a bit of a chore to come on to PC, to show to everyone that I'm still here and posting. PC has undoubtedly changed. People came and went. Topics changed from one thing to the next. I always long to be back when I first started... back when PC really opened a new door for me... back when I first met everyone here. All the new members are having fun... just as much fun as all of us had in the beginning, I bet. There's still a lot to PC, but time taints it all. As you become one of the older members, you begin to realize that you've told all your jokes... you've said everything you wanted to and made your mark. As that dwindles down, you find less things to talk about, while new members still have a world of things to share. We've all felt what you have, Dakota. It happens to everyone who's made PC a part of their life. None of us are what we used to be. When cherished members like yourself leave, it makes another path for more of us to. Like Kayleigh said, it makes worse the situation we're all in right now.

Thing is, reminiscing about the good old days isn't what's going to change the present. If we stay together, there's hope that we could bring PC back to what it was during the times that it gave us so much joy. And if that doesn't work, there are people out there that are just as interesting as our friends of the past. People who have yet to hear all our stories.

No one can make you stay, Dakota. If you leave, you'll always be remembered as a legend in PC history. A good member, and a great friend. None of us want to see you leave, but if this is truly when we part ways, then we'll have you know that you've been a part of what has made PC as interesting as it has been.

A big BOO Ya to you Dakota!

Yeah, I know. If the new forum passes, then I'm sure you and a lot of people will have a chance to start an intelligent and mature discussion without any problems. The link is in sig if you want you want to add anything.

I've been on PC for nearly 3 years, and thats got to be the wisest most thought out post I've ever read in all this time being here. Wow, you described exactly how I feel...

Man...but seeing as you described it so well, then you must know that I can't change. I've pretty much got nothing left to give to PC in the state that its in. It's literally impossible for me to stay consistent for too long, but PC must stay consistent...and I doubt that'll happen

Ah well
 
oh, man. this really sucks. dakota is leaving. he may not like me very much and I may not like hime very much, but, we still co-operated. I will miss him if he leaves. I hope nobody else leaves either. sorry if this offended anyone
 
Heh, thanks!
*rubs the back of his head*
I was stating what I felt, hoping that it would be the same thing you're going through.

I understand. Hopefully we can bring PC back to what it was someday sooner or later, even though things do look rather grim. Things just get old after a while.

I wish you luck, Dakota, wherever you go next. (if you go anywhere else at all)
You're a great guy!
 
guys lemme tell you this from experience
i told some people about my past but if not go to the thread "3rd or 4th year" (which can be found arounf this forum)
see i found out that if you leave you will crave for it once more
if you leave it's like leaving a piece of you here
you've been here for so long it was like a daily routine however it'll be hard to suddenly stop
i manged to withstand it however
look at me i came back
why did i come back?
to retrieve the peace of me that i had lost here
that is why i came back....

*cough* StarCalibur had betterest posts */cough*

Oh dang! Dakoteez, I'v been where you are dude. I even left, yea I know exactly 100% how you feel. The only reason I came back is 'cause I had too many old friends. Let's hope you miss PC and come back like I did.:P No ones forcing ya, but d?mn! You was one of my favouritest members in "the good ol' days".. Times do change a lot. I'v also noticed some major changes here. Ah well, what can I do?
 
Guess your right, this forum is starting to get to well known for it's own good. Being overun with new members...then again again who am I to talk? I'm fairly new here myself arent I? I guess it can become sort of a chore coming to places youve been going to sometimes. I recently just stoped going to a forum I'd been at for 4 years just becuse most of the origenal members were leaving and we were getting overrun by to many newbiis. Like they said though it's your choice on how much time you want to devote to a place like this, if you dont feel that you can gain anything more from here you might as well tone down the your amount of time here much like in D's case I've seen a lot of old members quite and to be honest some of the newer mods do tend to be a hassle sometimes. So in the end if you really think you cant gain anything by coming here anymore you might as well not.
 
I?ve got this feeling that a lot of people are blaming new people for the old members? departures just because we?re new...I, for one, can?t help that I came here in March 2004 instead of 2002 or never, and I most certainly didn?t come here thinking ?Hah! I?m going to get Dakota and DT to leave forever!!!!11111? And I?m sure nobody new came here with the intent of edging out the veterans. The new people aren?t all bad, I think a lot of new people (not n00bs mind you, there?s a difference) here have proved that, but if anyone can?t stand new people for being new or for being in greater numbers than the veterans, so be it. I won?t feel bad for being relatively new, and I hope nobody else does.

But anyway, goodbye Dakota. Even if we never spoke, it?s sad to see an S-mod and a well-loved member of the community go.
 
Wow, I never knew that I came here before you Kaga...thats news to me. Your right you really cant blame the new members the only person at fault is yourself for letting it get to you that new members might be the downfall of this place, not all of them are bad though the super newbiis tend to take a little getting use to. Then again maybe D's just afraid of change? He's been here so long that maybe the change just finally got to him? Guess thats what happened to me at my old message boards becuse 4 years was a long time but I dident like the fact that most of the origenall members were leaving so I guess D has a right to do what he wants. I really dont know if this added anything to the conversation but it's my two cents...either that or D just posted this to see if he could spark some conversation?
 
I'm not blaming every new members...some new members are really good people. Just look at Sarah! (a1337a). I'm not blaming anything inparticular, like new people or staff, everthing as a whole just screwed over...

I know I had friends here, and I had the best friends...Blaine, a1337a, Arcanine, ^^NICK^^, Moonlight, 22sa....actually me and jess used to be friends..all of em. I still have MSN and AIM you guys, it's not like I'm shooting myself...
 
Well if you dont feel like you can gain any fun or overall...anything from staying here be my guest and take your way out. Just it does feel strange when you stop going to somewhere you've been to for so long but it's your choice. I'm really out of things to say...it's hard convincing you. SO just, good luck in your new life i guess.

I'm pretty much done with PC....woop de doo.

I've just lost interest over the past few months. PC has changed so much from the place that I loved to post in to the place that has just Repetition and Immaturity. Yeah theres some people here that can be great to talk to and rouse up some debates. But there's always some idiot here that ruins it, and now most of PC is getting overun by them. Even in some of the staff.

I'm not saying that I'm never gonna post here again...it will just be now and again, when I'm bored.

And I'm really sick and tired of saying BOO ya...

You lost the interest too? I also did... it's really not the place it once was, I don't even know why I bother even coming on to here. Maybe if it was back in the day, i'd be here but now PC is just, not fun.
 
Oh, my post wasn't directed toward anyone in particular, Dakota. I just hear some of the older members expressing their discontent with the newer members some of the time, and I thought that this would be as good a venue as any to say that not all of us are bad as we're sometimes made up to be...I'm trying to find a way to fit in with the veterans, and it's just a slow process for me to get acclimated to them and for them to get acclimated to me and some of the other more active non-vets.
 
Ya but you cant blame all the new members...people like Kaga fit in perfectly...I really though he had been here for at least a year 0.O....oh well shows what I know...but evenutally he'll be back...everyone needs soemthing to regulate their lifes...and this is it for many people....hope I never get like that though
