There's no good way for me to put this....

Hrm.....I spent a day here.....

....I don't know, something here just doesn't feel right. I don't think I belong here. I think...I belong among my own kind. It's nothing against any of you, I think the only reason I came back was to point out that I was gone....but really, all summer I was among true friends...everyone at purezc and at my invisionfree...

this is not the place for me....I belong where I have been the whole time.

so my return topic is also my farewell topic....

Ok seriously, you're leaving? That's fine, but I don't want repeats of last time. You may have changed; but you still have a stigma related to this issue, and that's not going to go away in a hurry - if at all.

To that end, I want to be sure of what you mean by 'leaving'. If you intend to come back, that's fine; but if this is a permenant thing, you had better be sure of yourself. If I even get a hint of what happened on PT, I will ban your ass without batting an eyelid. This goes for any alts that I or any other staff member finds.

Do I make myself clear?

*hesitates, then posts*
what I mean is that I won't be posting like a maniac like I did at PT. I don't blame you for being skeptical. but here's the deal; I'll still be watching the forum, and I'll be active once in a while in the Personal Message center. I won't be "active" on the forum, but being I have a game development resource of my own, it is not to my advantage to avoid the forum for the internet's largest sprite database.

I'm hesitant to use the phrase "gone forever" because I like freedom.

but I leave you with this: creating alts is no longer my way. I recently ousted all of the alts I was using on my blog (when I created them, I thought "safety in numnbers". never again, damn it.).

I need no redemption. I will have friends. I will have enemies. And I will have people who simply don't hate me. But no mater who I am and who sides with me, I will always have a place. But to be brutally honest, this is not it.

So I bid you all farewell, not for the first time, but certainly not for the last time.
