Whoooa are you serious? Where will you be going? Perhaps the TotallyWicked forums!?

 

[lordmage]

if true sorry to see you go but i honestly believe given time the forum will adapt and move forward instead of getting stuck over little issues.

 

[surbitonPete]

Aww apo ...You should just stay and be yourself and if being yourself breaks any rules and gets you banned then so be it. All a person can do in the end is be true to themselves.

 

[chuckie]

thanks 4 all your help Apo. hope to see you around elsewhere

et tu Ap0??

Well, I'll miss you around here. - always good to read your reasoned posts. I think you had the gumption to speak a great deal of what was on alot of people's minds.

Was it something recent that put you over the edge?

I know where else you wander so It's not really a hard goodbye but thanks for all your help and for fixing me up with those adapters too.

- all the best

Beautiful closure Apo, hope you don't mind that I join you in saying good-bye in this thread, too. I'm outta here, too. (((hugs))) to all my dear friends and all who helped me.

ECF implosion in T-10, 9, 8....
Sad to see such a great resource go down the drain. There have been "high profile" losses of members (Apostle, Kate, Spikey...), have you noticed how many regulars you haven't seen posts from lately?
Mr. Apostle sir, you are a class act and your presence here will be sorely missed.

 

[Nuck]

It would a real shame to split the community at this point. We all have common interest that override the mod issues we're having here. Now that we have a chance to mould the rules (thanks primarily to Apo) wouldn't it make more sense to give it an honest shot before throwing in the towel?

I understand the frustration but the community is worth at least an attempt to correct the current issues.

It's a common pattern for forums to grow rapidly with lots of energy then suddenly implode when enough of the core is extinguished or explode in a ball of fury. It's common for a lot of the 'wiser' members to get out rather than be caught up in the 'supernova remnant'. It might continue to exist but it will never be the same again, that's history and soon will be faded memories. It's no problem so long as we don't get so attached to it that we can't bear to let go or face a future without it. Maybe it's a good thing for people to have to uproot and start something new, it might stop us becoming too complacent or comfortable - the longer you live in a house, the more junk you fill it with.

Apo,

Sad to see you go, but I understand where you are coming from. Seems like we are rapidly running out of some of our most experienced members

 

[Kit]

Apo dude we have been riding this forum since the start i will be sad to see you go mate im sure what ever has offended you can be resolved

 

[Bryn]

Without wonderful members like a cigar smoking nun, Kate, a fun Apostle, MonkeyMonk, and others who have worked hard to make this forum great ...this once great place is going to look empty .... like this

 

[FRESH x913x]

have you noticed how many regulars you haven't seen posts from lately?

also notice how this place isnt as much fun to hang around? everyone who seems to make this forum fun and interesting seem to be leaving, not to mention members with a lot of info to contribute to the others here looking for answers.

 

[gashin]

I don't know why the originals are abandoning the forum - it would be better if they stayed and tried to improve what they see as wrong instead of just leaving...

 

[mamacat]

ApO ~ You have NEVER offended me, you HAVE made me laugh (quite a bit), and you HAVE helped me (more than you will ever know)!

MonkeyMonk ~ Sorry to hear you are leaving, too, but I understand where you are coming from. Your advice will be greatly missed.

Best wishes to you both - mamacat

 

[rsngfrce]

It just doesn't seem as much fun anymore, does it?

 

[yvilla]

This is truly discouraging!

 

[Palmetto]

Dang, Apo, I understand, but as yvilla said "This is truly discouraging."
