My Departure

Thumbs up x4

Postby Blablob » August 21st, 2011, 4:39 am

*Walks onto stage*

Hai guys.

This will probably come as a shock to most of you (though this is subtly hidden in A Question of Answers), but as the title implies, I've decided to leave the forums.

I realize that, so soon after Sax's sudden departure, this would be the last thing you'd expect; however, this is wholly my decision to leave. Nobody has forced me. Realistically, this has been planned for a few months.

So why am I leaving? Well, it's not because I necessarily want to; it's because, much like the implication given by Demonik and MICrophone, I think it's just time for me to move on. I've had a great time being here with the forums, and not because I've wielded the banhammer--it's because of you guys. You guys are some of the best friends I've ever had. Some people might say that an internet friend is just a stranger, and that real life friends are much better; what they don't understand is that the mysteriousness, the honesty, the inability to physically betray someone builds a much more powerful bond between internet friends.

That said, I feel it's definitely time to move on with things in my life; yes, there are awesome perks to being a mod, but it can be a time-consuming task if you are truly dedicated.

That's where the problem lies. I've dedicated myself to this job probably more than I would have at an actual job. I care about you guys and this forum; this is my internet family, and I think there's a type of brotherly love that exists in many of us. I come on Runouw.com every day to see what new things people have brought to the table. I had fun here, I enjoyed myself, and I expressed thoughts about my personal life that I'd never be able to reveal elsewhere; sometimes I visited Runouw.com just to get away from the issues of real life. Isn't it funny how such a strong bond can account for the very reason I'm leaving? There are bigger things I'd like to move on to, and I can't be the Global Mod of an internet forums forever.

So, this is where it stands. The upcoming months will be quite busy for me, and I'd really just prefer having not to take the heat of balancing both the responsibility of real life and my Modship here. You might see me for a few more days, but after tomorrow, consider my schedule full. This is very likely the last day I'll be here for a while; I will certainly pop in occasionally, most likely during weekends, but don't expect a great amount of activity.

Also, if it's in the interest of anyone (everyone), yes, new Mods are being recruited, but they've already been selected in Forum 23. After I ask Suyo to demote me I'll expect that he promotes our two mysterious users in question right away. I wonder who they could be. :blab:

Anyways, thanks everyone who took the time to read A Question of Answers. It wasn't necessarily a hidden farewell to everyone (because of the serious tone of the story), but I figure it's the one last contribution I could give to the forums before I head off, so I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.

Thank you everyone for the love and support on these forums. I will truly never forget these forums. Good luck to you all! :P

Well we already had goodbyes and alcohol in Forum 23, so I'll just thank you for everything you did. You were a great partner, and you took care about the forums while I pretended to be gone and played BIT.TRIP was away.

Stay awesome at everything you're going to do in your life. :awe:

And guys, I'm staying for now.

*Silence from the audience*


*A lone person stands up from the audience, and slowly starts to clap.*
*The slow clap gets faster, joined in by other people*
*Important person #1 joins in, camera zooms on Important person #1's face*
*More people join in on clapping, more people stand up.*
*Soon, the entire stadium is filled with cheering and whooping as everyone stands up in unison*
*Play dramatic exiting music*
*Blablob exits from a hallways with a bright light, only his silhouette showing*

So. Well.

This shall be our final farewell in posts.

Wiktionary on ''farewell' wrote:From Middle English farewel, from fare wel, an imperative expression, from faren (“to fare, travel, journey”) + wel (“well”). Compare Danish farvel (“farewell”). More at fare, well.


Hopefully you'll fare well on the road.

It's been a long time since we met. Like... What? 1 year? And...loooots of stuff has happened to both of us and everyone else. In the site and outside the site. We've all grown. And I'm glad I got to see (almost) all of the steps you take to turn into a Global Mod. Remember when you were RollingPizza and were orange? :3

Yeah. It's quite sad to see you go. You were a great staff member, a great friend, a great user overall. We'll all miss you.

Also, an actually dramatic song which doesn't sound as a war cry:

WHAT THE ♥♥♥♥ MAN I NEVER SAW THIS COMING!!!!!!!!!

wait oh yeah you already told me.


Dammit, much to soon, isn't it? I'm gonna miss you, kid. :/ But, hey, you got a world to knock dead!


My advice? Keep your leadership skills that you've gained here, keep writing and take the lessons you've learned here and use them in the real world, and show your daddeh the internet wasn't a waste of time!


Anyway, as you already know, I left you with a last gift. After the last edit I'll show it to ya and you can use it.

Keep it real in the real world.
