I'm supposed to be a young man of few words *is shot*

But seriously, does the fact really make a change in your real life?

If not, your parents are paranoid or whatever is the word for this situation. I mean, you have a lot of friends on this site and it will be unfair if all of this would be taken away from you because of ridiculous reasons.

If so, well, I hope it won't be a good-bye. hopefully a "see you later".

The parents are always scared when they hear the breaking news actually the most of parents have a reaction like "OMG, we must protect our child" cuz they really think that something will happen to you.

Actually try to make them understand that you have friends there and nothing bad will happen.

For example my mom hates seeing me drinking coke and she always says it's bad, and sometime the coke was forbitten but i told them that i like and i still caan drink coke, just try, sure you will have a chance, plus is your own life!!

If you guys are wondering why I'm still here, I'm at a friend's house on his computer, so now's the time to go crazy. I probably wouldn't have been able to write this topic in the first place with out being here.

My parents aren't letting me on for several reasons.

1. I'm taking trust in people I don't know. It's fine for Nexi to talk about his quantum physics and crap, or for Red to talk about Zelda, but when we get personal about my life, I'm putting too much trust in you guys than I should be. I know, it's kind of paranoid, but it's also true, I have trust for some of you, in which, I've gone blabbing on about my depressed life. In their opinion, it's a lot better to be with friends, but talking to strangers who I have never met is extremely unhealthy and possibly dangerous, because you guys can say, "Oh hey, let's meet in real life!" then shank me and steal my extensive collection of saxophones.

(By the way, sort of an apology, I'd like to apologize to all of you for my depression, it's always brought the chat down, and it's a really selfish thing of me to do, force you guys into helping me for my satisfaction only, which your help usually doesn't work because I'm so stubborn about it.)

2. This is a sort of mean reason to all of you guys, believe me, I don't like it either. My mom talked to me about how there are people who are on Facebook all the time doing nothing but Facebook Facebook Facebook, and they have absolutely no lives. Well... this is my Facebook? So I'm going to be kicked off of "the Facebook right here on Runouw" so I can focus on having more of a life, (wtf), and yeah. I'm really disappointed about it, it's sort of offending to me and you, but even if it's not true, I see their point.

That's just a quick explanation why I'm not going to be here any more.

Oh by the way guys, I was joking about the "Thumbs up this post thing." :p BUT THANKS FOR THE THUMBS!

Man nobody from here will say "let's meet in real life" i'm really sorry for you

[Venexis]

Well, this just sucks. The icing on a cake of suckiness. And this one isn't even a lie; it's a very real, very sucky cake, and someone's probably going to choke on the chocolate. Terrible metaphor aside, BLAH.

Well... it's probably too late to sway your parents' decision, even if you had wanted to. If you agree with their reasoning, then... I guess that's that. But if not, maybe show them this topic, that we're not horrible ax-murderers, just a bunch of misfits who decided that we might as well be misfits with each other.

But now one of us is leaving.

And that's sad.

Sure, most of the internet is scummy, but there's pockets of decency. This might be an overstatement, but I think this site is a pretty big pocket of some of the most decent people I've ever met. And let's face the truth here: the internet is a pretty integral part of modern society now. It's a good thing to know how to find your way around it, and honestly, what's so bad about meeting a bunch of people to help or support you? Yeah, internet friends don't quite stack up to real life friends, but it's still an immersive experience, seeing different cultures and traditions firsthand. It's worth it to me, like training for the globalizing world around us. But hey, that's just me.

I don't really know who I'm writing to anymore, and can't say I really care. Why? Because this is goodbye.

Well, here's to wishing you the best of luck, Sax, and hoping that you can rejoin us again soon. It won't be the same without you.

Your parents just sound like they're trying to get you more socially active. And while I partially agree in their intentions, this decision should ultimately be yours to make. It is not unhealthy to have faith in the advice of a friend even if you don't personally know them; frankly I can't believe you or your parents would think otherwise. There is a difference between discussing your feelings (which is totally healthy for you) and giving out personal details, such as your location. We don't need to know what your name is or where you live in order to understand one another. It is not dangerous to talk with us about your emotional struggles; don't ever think for a second that it is.

You don't have to be here as often as you can be every minute of every day; we'd never expect that of you. But you should still have the will to come here occasionally and chat, or do some Level Modding, or whatever, because you have fun doing it, and you are at no risk of danger for doing that; and in the end, that's all your parents want for you. There is an obvious bond between you and the site, Sax--we're more than just strangers on the internet, we're companions, buddies, friends. An internet friend is still a friend.

Well, I'm sorry that I'm just rumbling on right now about a decision that's already been made, but I still find your situation very absurd. We will never ask you what your name is or what your age is. We will never ask you what your background is, or where you live, or what you do for a living. What we will ask you is what troubles you in your moments of misery; and that to me is what makes a true friend.

Anywho, I'd like to get this posted before you leave so you have a chance to read it, so I'll shaddup now. Farewell, Sax, and good luck to you!

;-; dawww what the fudged nipples Man? Why you gotta be a noob and leave? Well have fun in your life and hope you spend it well. Good Bye FOREVER Buddy ;3

..................................Theres still Facebook......................................

Your parents taking away your rights to this site makes no sense. Do they expect to protect their little darling until he dies? You're what, a teenager? Doesn't that give you rights to your life?

Look at me. I had a mom who freaked out about me having a Facebook at the age of 12, and then she freaked out again when I added you guys as friends on Facebook. Instead of taking you all off, I kept MOD as a friend and gradually sent requests. I'm 16 now, and I'm doing what I can to have all my rights.

The best thing you can do is barter with them. Discuss it. Tell them about us and how we treat you, heck even show them the Runouw Photo Album if they think we're pedos. But they can't take anything away from you if they don't want to.

Like I said in the chat once, I'm a rebel at heart. I may not rebel all the time, but given the occasion, I WILL argue if it means risking something. I never let people take away what is mine. That includes the ones I call friends.

To me, your parents are over protective. You're a moderator. You're part of staff. You pretty much have a job, which helps you later in life when you get a real one. At least tell them that. But they can't ban you from here just because their scared of us dragging you through a window while your asleep.


But good luck in life, Sax. Sneak on whenever you can, but don't let them take control of your friends and life. You run your life, not your mom, not your dad, not your sister. You do. You're heart beats, your brain thinks, and all actions and movements are yours. You are in charge of what you can do. Don't let anyone take away your freedom.

Good luck in life,

Mmm... I was hoping this would all blow over but apparently not.

Well, the worst thing that could happen is that you leave without knowing how downright incredible you are. So here's a little something I got to show you that you are awesome.

Here.

And I'm not trolling, either.

Regards, my friend.

NOUUUU. I'm kinda in the same dilemma... but if that happened to me, I SAY F**K YOU! Look, every one here is mature already... we have ability to use judgement. It has happened to me already, I got a lot of sh*t from friends taht thought everyone here were pedophiles, but, I can do this myself... it's not like I'm handing out any personal info. The point of no return is handing out your personal info. That's when you're screwed over.

Think of it like this. WHY WOULD SOMEONE IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AREA THAN YOU GO ALL THE WAY TO YOUR HOME TO STEAL SAXES? Yeah sure, you could rack up 4k from your saxes, but 4k will be spent even getting there. It'll take 4k for travel costs and the technology required to find where you live.

But anyway, I probably won't change your mind.

Bye Sax. You were epic from the time that I knew you.

Oh, and btw, this isn't as bad as Youtube... your face is all over your channel.
