the official announcement per say...:
And for everything else...:
Yeah...i'm leaving...as i have said so many times...this time its for real...and for different reasons as the last times...
As it said above yest its a personalitly conflict, and its not just one person either so don't you all start asking each other what who did to me or what ever, its not important...All that i have to say is i've had it...with how people are being treated around here on a daily basis...go on call me what you may i know some of you will, but i'm still sick of it...
As my final action as a Administrator....i hereby declare the rule that it is illegal at this message board to gang up on other members in a complete flame war, as i have seen recently...punishment will be imediate temp banning...i'm not kidding either i'll have Mav and others uphold this for me...
sitting down amongst bags of his things, several swords and daggers...axes and guns...sheilds and other equipment...a few books with pens and nots sticking out of them...even a few black roses, some wilted some fresh all scattered about...but most prevalent where the group photos of everyone from every year of his stay at the MSPB...along with a picture of Li
How we have all changed over the years...how we have all become serfs among slaves, and knights of the innocent...how i love to stay and remenise of yesteryear but i must go...for it truely is now my time to leave...so here it is my final goodbye, my salute to you...A final note to those who matter, to those who hate and those who don't. A final note to all of you, a goodbye i guess a final word. I love you all and always will and i am sorry for all it seems to be my fault. So i appologize for changing as i have, for receiving knowladge and paying its price. I found out far to late and now you're gone and i am alone. With a heart full of remorse and eyes full of tears i sing to you my final song...

And I apologize to you, Sean, for anything I have done.
Sorry to see you're leaving, Sean. I promise to enforce your new rule.

Translation: He's leaving since he has a problem with me.
You know Sean, you really blew a little thing out of proportions. I have no problems or qualms with you. You blew a little joking AND the value of my opinions way out of proportion.
I like you Sean. But you took a little thing and blew it up way too big.
I feel that Steel is ultra noob. No offense Steel, but you are quite noob-ity. And often annoying. But so is Aries, and I said that too. But in any case, in true sincerity Sean, it was great having you here, and you will be very missed.

First off, I just want to state that this is fucked. I don't care what anyone says - this is fucked.
From what I know and understand, all this was over a very minor altercation which involved the Hellsing party sigs and some "joking" going on in MSPB chat. And since I'm already being honest - here's what I've got to say.
First off - Screw anyone who ever intentionally tried to hurt someone's feelings on this board. EVERYONE here knows each other. EVERYONE. Almost everyone came from a defunct board. Everyone here has a DIFFERENT view of what a MB should be like - THATS WHY WE'RE HERE. We got tired of being ostracised, bullied around by admins who didn't give a fuck, and Mav was kind enough to make this place - so here we are. Props to Mav.
Second - The atmosphere in the MSPB chat is just...inane. I mean, I know I play along with it sometimes, and I think everyone should let loose every now and then and go fucking nuts, but not ALL the time! Sheesh, every time I get "invited" in there, it's like people just start trying to be immature as possible. Yes, I understand that the boards and chat are probably where alot of people goof off and get away from their daily lives, but damn people...it's rediculous.
Third - Sometimes there's just things we don't want said about us, or things that might correlate with somthing IRL. I think with the combined kindergarten level of insanity going on in the MSPB chat, and people not really paying attention to what they're saying, sometimes it can hit a bad note. I realize that what was said was unintentional, and that no one was truely trying to hurt anyone. And if you fucking were, read my first point, asshole.[/b]
Fourth - We choose the way we react to anything. No true emotion is invoulentary. If someone dies, we are not "forced" to cry, although it is appropriate to do so, and most people do. Sean chose to react this way by his own accord, and I respect his decision. But to be honest, leaving or being dramatic won't solve anything. If there was / is a personality conflict - it needs to be resolved.
Fifth - As for my words to Sean (which if he's truely gone, he'll never read this, but I wish him to see it all the same). Whatever spurred you to go, I suggest you consider the long term before making such a bold statement. Even if someone came flat out and said things about my personal life, or online actions (which I don't know if what was said was personal), you need to have the integrity to face them and not run away. I don't feel sorry for you Sean, because in the back of my mind I keep thinking this is a desperate ploy for attention. I respect your decision nonetheless, however, and if you truely do never return, good luck in love and good luck in life.

Zorak, a number of people have a problem with you. Myself included.
Look, even if you are joking, it's not funny. I learned my lesson about joking, it's time for you to do the same. Zorak, you are, or were in this case, a moderator. You're here to set an example. You may say something that you intended as a joke, but it can hurt.
And, Wag, I know I'm guilty of that. Hell, I was pissed at myself after what I did last night. Very pissed. Thanks for bringing that up.

stopping by the door and turning around
...are you that self involved? that ignorent? that egotistical that i am leaving because of you?
Granted you didn't help, nope not the slightest...you just got me thinking even more and brought me closer to this decision...but for you to blame yourself for my departure is just so...selfish...
But while we are telling the truth, as you so humbly have done, i might as well do the same...you my good freind Zorak, are a Jackass...i'm sure you know this and i'm sure you don't give about two shits about this fact either...but maybe my words will sink in...You speak what you call the "truth" which quite simply isn't at all, and you expect everyone to just except it and get over it...no matter how rude, your truth...or "joke" is...you say i have nothing to back this up?...i don't need anything...but what i say is the truth and at least someone here will...
No one works like that anymore Zorak...no one is just going succumb to your word and think it true...you know this though you must you are so careful to cover your bases...you joke you say? YOU AREN'T FUNNY hows that? you haven't been funny and if you continue with this path of mockery of others you never will be...but you in your quest to cover your bases claim to not care when ever this or anything is brought up, claiming that the matter being brought up dosen't mean anything...and with a final dig fallowed by a "but whatever" is your way of getting your last word in and closing the arguement before the other person can say a damn thing...cowardly if you ask me, can't face the truth, but insist on inforcing it on others...
Do me a favor though...if you could....get over yourself? tone down your "jackassness" will you?...because when you aren't one i can honestly say you are a good guy...but otherwise...it makes me sick...with this...good bye

Funny, the only reason Goji doesn't have a problem with Steel is because he hit 'Ignore' to him so often on AIM that he wouldn't IM him. You have your AIM name hidden, so he doesn't know yours. I actually like Steel some times...
Wag put it best at that the things in chats don't have to be funny. Its just wierd and goofing off. Its joking for the sake of joking, not the laugh.
I am hard to be driven to anger or stress. But Steel... he drives me INSANE!!! Honestly, he has taken my last bit of sanity.
I am not stuck up, honestly, its just that Steel... Steel honestly man, you really drive me up the wall. And I'm not the only person who feels that way.
Oh, and it really does seem that way that thats the reason. Since I haven't seen you freaking out about anybody else recently.
This isn't 'covering my bases'. Frankly, I could have not replied here and it wouldn't have made much of a difference to Mav, I bet. I speak as I see it. Let me put it this way: if its such a sin to joke as I did, how in hell has Ai lasted more than a week?
And Gojira, you've not been the same for awhile. Meh. You've changed alot Gojira. And not for good, in my opinion. And many, oh so many, people agree with me.

I never hit "ignore." I just ignored him, as in not talking to him. Sorry, Steel, I didn't feel like talking at the time. But I did hit ignore on you, Zorak.

Lord and Lady, will you people stop bickering? If he's gonna leave, he's gonna leave. Whatever his reasons are, he has them, and they're valid to him. Will you people just acknowledge that and stop picking at eachother and trying to justify things?
Anyway, I'm sorry to see you go, Sean. And I sincerely hope you show up around these parts again sooner or later.

Tsk. I suppose my coming here has increased the...insanity and bluntness of the whole board...Probably not for any good, either...God.
Sean...I'm saddened to see you leave. You're a great guy. Awesome person. Don't do anything I wouldn--...Nevermind. Don't do anything stupid. In other words, anything I wouldn't.

Salutes.
I'm not gonna open my mouth. Being the Resident Asshole, I have a tendency to intensify these kind of situations.

For two goddamn seconds will you forget about Steel! This isn't about him! This isn't just about you! It’s about all of you! You take what Wag said out of context...yeast its about goofing off and joking around, but sometimes we got to get serious...which we never do enough...
Why has Ai lasted? Because he can be serious you nit...and his jokes aren't deep enough to cause to much damage or to be taken seriously...what ever the case is, he's a good person when he is serious...which I have seen (however on rare occasion) but no one is on trial here, no one individually any how…<br>
I came here…the first time…how many years ago, to get away from my real life…to forget…I spent many hours here, pouring myself out to all who have come and gone…it was like a drug, and I was addicted…perhaps I was a fool for staying this long…But now I need to just go…I can’t do it anymore…my drug, like any, is destroying me, its not the same as it was…Things…dare I say…have been down hill since Li has left…I can’t hold things together anymore, I am not as gifted as she is, things are just…falling apart…good luck….and god bless…<br>
