:rolleyes: I find this all very, very ironic. A few months ago, all of you people making such a huge deal out of this nonsense were at my throats about what I said when I left. Now I was asked to come back to make things more bearable, and everyone has a hissy fit, throws public tantrums regarding private subject matter and leaves. For the same reasons I did no less. :laugh: Oh, the slow folk always lag behind. :laugh:

*shrugs* I had discussed it before he considered it. Assumptions make people look like idiots.

Fiona,

The technical implications seem reasonable to me, but since I've never run a forum others would be able to support/debunk the reason given better.

But quoting someone's PM isn't generally polite. Maybe if you removed it and just paraphrased the technical reason given instead? It's up to you but I wouldn't want you to be rude without intending it.

And this forum will be weakened by your absence.

Heh, too true. ;) Anyways I didn't disagree with some of the things Aramant and you said, it's rather prophetic now.

Except for the lynchpin of that argument...the banning of Aramant wasn't discussed by the mods. :p

Heh :laugh: , I suppose I hadn't thought of it that way but some of the things said about particular mods has more than proven itself true in my eyes.

Pattie and Jen always said I was a prophet. I could always tell what they were going to do. :cool: :p

I cannot see why it is a problem to just leave the forum without having your account deleted. It makes absolutely no difference in effect.

Also I don't understand all these drama queen personalities who must state in melodramatic ways that they are leaving and then they return :D

To those of you, if any, who are actually leaving Gamebanshee I wish to say goodbye and good luck in life! :)

ROFLMAO :D at Ravager since he seems to be joking.

Yes, with regard to effect I am sure it feels very important to change the present registered members figure to 29709 instead of 29710.

Are you being sarcastic now, CE? Or you're just saying she's not important? I feel this to be a flame.
