The Don's Departure, An Indefinite Farewell Options

[fameONE]

Post 1000.

As many of you have noticed, I put "1000 posts and I'm out" in my signature. Now, let me explain to you the reasoning behind it.

I've been a member of this forum for roughly 6 months and I have made quite a few acquaintances. What initially began as a source for free Xanga skins became a place for me to sharpen my debating skills. Eventually, this site became an obsession in where I would post 10+ times a night... and none of it was spam.

I'm not sure if I've worn out my welcome but I do know that a good handful of people respect me and some of you kiss my ass. I don't want that. In an effort to humble myself and focus on things outside of the internet, I'm going to step down as the 'Don of CB' for now. I'm still going to frequent the site, play the games in the forum and arcade sections, and view the debate threads, but I'm not going to post for a while.

I've made some friends here and I've been influenced by some rather positive people. I don't like playing favorites but they know who they are. Although, I have to drop one name (Azarel) because she has never talked to me or replied to a post but was thoughtful enough to send me a PM that really made me smile. To all of those that I've unmercifully cutdown due to stupidity or ignorance; I'm not apologizing because we're on the internet [get over it].

To the rest of you; my love, thanks and appreciation will be left in this post. For now, I'm taking a step back. I may come back when the fall semester starts and my insomnia kicks back into gear, or it may be later. Whatever the case, I'm not hard to get a hold of. CB should not be the only means of communication for my newly formed internet friendships. And for those of you that I never got a chance to talk to prior to this post, email me, IM me, PM me, add me on MySpace or add me on LiveJournal. All of my info is in my profile.

So this is it... for now. I thank all of you and I wish you guys the best. This has been the best forum I have ever been a part of. This is even better than the men's forum that I hosted a year back. There are some good people here and some people that I know will go far in life. Keep in touch. With that said, I'm out the door.
