I guess the title says it all, really. Much to my chagrin, I have to leave the forum for the forseeable future. I don't know when, or even if, I'll be back. I felt I owed it to everybody to at least let you all know in person, as it were, rather than simply disappear. So... yeah. It's been a good run. Sorry I haven't been around the past few weeks and I hope everybody is doing well. Welcome to the newcomers and happy birthday to anybody who's birthday I missed. Vanessa, Ronald, Martin, I'll keep my subscription going as long as I can but right now I don't know how long I can continue to afford it. If anybody has a burning desire to contact me, for some unknown and/or suspiciously wacky reason, I can be reached on Xbox Live (at shafmaster) or on Yahoo (at skylore22124).
Well... I guess that's it, really. So long, and thanks for all the fun.
Ok, I know some of you are chomping at the bit for the details. Well... alright. Here's a summary.
On Friday, January 22, I got laid off. Essentially, because the franchise company was having financial trouble and I was making too much money. Unfortunately, since I don't have a computer of my own, I used the one at work or on occassion I get access to a friend's. So since I no longer have regular access anymore I won't be able to get to the forum regularly enough to keep up. That might change if I can get another job, if I'm lucky.
On Thursday, January 28, my father passed away. His health had been gradually failing for a few years now and to be honest it wasn't really much of a shock at this point. I don't want to go into the details. No, I'm not "fine" but yes, I'll be "ok". Mostly, I just want to get everything about it over with so I can move on. Again, details.
I've got too much I have to focus on to be able to set aside the mental capacity to function here as well. And that's pretty much it.

You have my deepest sympathies as well, Xebulon, for your troubles. I know what it's like to watch a family member, especially a parent, fade away like that.

Sorry to hear that, too, Xebulon... hope that things will settle for you. I'll see if I can't track you down on XBLA.

*gives Xebulon a hug.*
Kinda sad to say goodbye to you, Oh, welp. You have to do what it is best for you and the people you care.
Take a breather and relax for a while.
When you're ready, do your best and when you decide to come back, as always, we will welcome with you with open arms. ((aaaaaaand maybe a pie in the face.  ))
See you in the future. :3 |
