Just get back to your "real life".

AbuGrape45 · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 12:56 am

Ah, just stay here, Magna. The people you don't like will be gone pretty quick, with the exception of me.

Einoo T. Spork · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 4:53 am

Dear Magna:

Shut up.

Your bestest buddy in the whole wide world,
Einoo T. Spork

P.S. Seriously, man, shut up.

Sorry to see you go, Myrrh and Mandy, but I should have seen it coming. Besides, I still have your IM addresses, so it won't really be that big of a deal.

I'd just like to say that even through all this (unnecessary) drama, I'm still staying here. I AM FAITHFUL. D:<

Rusty · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 4:58 am

I was never Magna's buddy, but people who like to think that they're above everybody are people that I can't stand to speak to.

Are you implying that I'm an idiot? B|

Rusty · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 5:13 am

Well, just because Magna doesn't like you, doesn't mean you're an idiot.

You don't need the approval of the almighty Magna Carta to be an intelligent person.

Having humour is one thing. Acting like a complete and utter idiot in a derisive attempt to be humourous is completely different.

Oh, lighten up. The zoophile/objectiphile comments really made you that upset?
I'm pretty worried for you, as well, then.

Mandy, Myrhh, I'm sorry. I hope you guys see something in here that is worth your time to stay. While neither of us every realy talked (at all) I did really get a kick out of youse being here (shenanigans!) and all that you gave to this forum. If you guys end up leaving, feel free to drop me a line or something. Best of luck either way.

Magna, for all your eloquence, I really wish (for your sake) that you mature enough to utilize it correctly. And for goodness sake, learn that you can't make things better by insulting the offending party. Thank you, hope you find some solace somewhere.

And to everyone else: Summer of '05 is as it always shall be - an awesome part of this place's history. It was a great time, we all had a lot of fun, and the fact of the matter is that we can't go back in time. However, this is nothing to say of the future and our future together. Summer of '08 is coming quickly, and I for one would like to have some fun again, amirite? So, I suppose I'll start off (or continue, anyway) my own efforts to get this place up to polish, if anyone wants to be a part of that, feel free to shoot me a pm or an im or line or hand on the wall or whatever mean of communication you prefer. Let's roll.

You know, no one's forcing you to read them.

I honestly don't mean that in a mean way, I'd be saying it even if you weren't somebody I didn't particularly like. You'll note that you were the one calling everyone idiots while pretty much everyone else was plainly stating that they didn't get it. Since it seems to be you that has the problem, not us, the obvious solution would be to leave-not just to stop posting or stop logging in, but to stop browsing the forum as well.

It works fine where I use it.

So, you're saying that this is a place where people with attitudes characteristic of different points in history are constantly going at it? Yeah, I'm not seeing that.

It's a poor one in that case, as it doesn't sound any less insulting than idiocy or stupidity or other words that could've been used there that were, y'know, not made up.

Okay, that just comes across as being unhelpful for the sake of being unhelpful. For those of you who DON'T have the spare time to look up every big word you come across like I do, a colloquium is a meeting or conference or seminar, and decadent means corrupt, declining (especially in the moral sense) or greedy.

It came across more as "I don't know". Really Magna, saying that didn't help your case.

Also thanks for looking up that big pair of words.

Absolutely not. Magna not liking you doesn't mean you're an idiot.

Einoo T. Spork · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 6:01 pm

Sorry guys, but I'm going to leave too!

On May 25, 2014.

I might have to change my plans and leave earlier if the 2012 Mayan apocalypse gets in my way.

Tbh, I've seen no hatred directed towards you. Not even a teeny bit. In fact, judging from responses around here, people are showing nothing but kindness.

I agree with what this gentleman said. COLA and Rusty may have given you a bit of a hard time because of the whole pointless "Get Jello back" thing, but other than that, people have been pretty straight with you. And that wasn't even really a big deal between you, COLA, and Rusty.

Capt. Ido Nos · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 6:15 pm

And Mandy? Just to let you know, Jello is never coming back. The Mayan Apocalypse is going to have to happen before we'd even consider it. Actually, scratch that, just no. So there!

AbuGrape45 · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 6:16 pm

There's no reason for Myrrh leaving, either. I haven't seen an unkind word sent in her direction.

MY real IM address.

Ignore the one in my profile. It is a FAKE IM ADDRESS. Not like this TOTALLY REAL IM ADDRESS.

Rusty · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 7:19 pm

Ha ha, Einoo, that's pretty funny.

Guys, I'm not sure that the reason they're leaving is because of personal insults directed towards them - rather, some bad blood that they might see, which, I really don't.

I don't understand why they're leaving either.

Einoo T. Spork · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 7:30 pm

Mandy and Myrrh have both been telling me for a long, long time that they haven't found this forum very engaging at all anymore and have only really been going here out of habit. I actually think it's much less about personal grudges than just about the fact that they're no longer entertained by the forum. Pretty simple.

AND I'M NOT ENTERTAINED EI-

Oh screw it, I'm bored of pretending. I'm not leaving.

Gonna keep my sig though cuz I spent too much time making the little bugger to just toss it. Plus it's funny.

Rusty · **Posted:** Sun Apr 13, 2008 7:32 pm

Well, I can't say that there's any reason for me to be coming here either, besides keeping up with my friends. If that's the case for them, they're leaving the "keeping up" job to everyone else.

Then again, I'm not sure.

I can certainly think of a way to keep people coming to this forum. I actually have a couple ideas in my head right now. I think the most A&C is being used for right now is individual work, nothing involving input - if something like that is created, I think we can give some life back to this forum.

...

In any case, this is something I would like to discuss with the entire active userbase thoroughly. ... I would try my hardest to shoot some life into this place, if it would keep people like you coming back.

This is pretty much my opinion.

Nobody cool can leave now that I'm back. I will not tolerate the abandonment of the REST of the Awexome Posse from way back when.
