Title: Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: MasterKeyX on July 22, 2007, 09:09:27 AM
I've been coming to the desert for over a year, now, and things here have changed alot since then. The desert, to me, has become less active and fun than it used to be. I think it may be high time that I leave here.

So I wanted to make a topic and say goodbye to the desert. I'll not be gone entirely, just be posting alot less. I may pop in every once in awhile.

So, adios, desert. And adios, my friends.

~MasterKey

I'm sorry, I think I need eye surgery. Did I just read what I thought I read? *gets eye surgery; reads post again* Oh, gosh... Somebody slap me in the face repeatedly and tell me this isn't a dream. :o

Well, he told me, and Dr. Rabies too.

A)The forums have gotten very boring. No good topics to post in anymore.
B)Some of the members, some newbs and some veterans, fall compared to the ones a year ago, like Evilbob. I only know one on the list, however, and I won't tell.
C)He lacks a reason to come here anymore, as with the complete overflow of new members his importance is decreasing.

Grrr.  It's a shame to lose a veteran member.  It's really sad to see you go Masterkey.  You've been a good friend to me throughout the time you've been here.

Every new game brings a flood of new members and discussions...that's how it always is...

yea i'va been discussing this with MK for awhile now, i agree with one of his points, a lot of the good topics died, which is why i revived the relationship topic, fat lot of good that did though right?
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: MatthewThief on July 22, 2007, 10:35:54 AM
well if theres any topics you want me to help revive let me know  :)
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: DW on July 22, 2007, 10:45:06 AM
I try to revive them as well. It just seems as though most of it has been discussed. I don't really like starting topics anyways, unless it's really important.
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: MagmarFire on July 22, 2007, 11:32:12 AM
Isn't necroposting looked down upon for no explained reason? I try not to just for that purpose. ???
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: Mysterious F. on July 22, 2007, 11:34:39 AM
Bringing back a random discussion that has been completed is bad, ones that haven't been not so.
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: darkphantomime on July 22, 2007, 11:40:38 AM
But it's really stupid to jump on someone simply because they revive an old topic. I mean, we're not even giving it a chance to a once great topic.

Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: Mysterious F. on July 22, 2007, 12:13:00 PM
And, as said, the only time necroposting can be looked down upon is if it is a topic that has been completed ans no longer needed. Ones like in the Forum Games section can never completely die, as they games and can be continued forever.
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: MatthewThief on July 22, 2007, 12:14:32 PM
i was on a few other sites before i came here one said no reviving dead topics at all  :P the other said make sure you say something about the topic, dont just post to spam.. so thats why i never post in a topic unless the last post is from yesterday.. how does reviving topics work here?
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: darkphantomime on July 22, 2007, 12:23:19 PM
You can go back to a certain page of a certain board on the forum and just post in it to revive the topic. But saying anything like "WOW This topic is OLD" is something that would be reprimanded, but I wouldn't do that in most cases if it is an authentic attempt to revive discussion.

Necroposting... I don't get it, I'll revive old stuff sometimes, but...

It's a shame you're leaving, PK. I'll miss you.

Ah, I wish you wouldn't go..
But I do get what you mean. This site used to be so great, especially when people like Nabooru were here, we were friends,  I miss her.

I feel really bad leaving, but I'm not fully gone. I'll come back every few days... maybe even post alot on the days I'm home. I havent faded yet, don't be sad, guys. ;)
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: darkphantomime on July 22, 2007, 04:28:47 PM
Har, then why make this topic? Everyone always says "Hey, I'll be posting less, but I will NOT be gone", then POOF! They're gone and aren't active anymore.

Examples...

CJayC of Gamefaqs
Jack
TML
You...

No way. You'd better stick to your promise and stick around MasterKey. >:( :D

Post by: MagmarFire on July 22, 2007, 04:43:21 PM
If you don't stick around, I'll cast Firaga on you. :-X

Seriously, we're all gonna miss you. You're, like, the only person I really talked about KH with on the Internet. Plus, you're a great member, man! You're a VETERAN member!

It's like losing a sergeant on the battlefield. :-*

If you do, it will cancel out the manly effect reading Loveless had on you, and then where will we be?!

And if you guys really want me to stay that badly, then I guess I'll continue to post...

Post by: darkphantomime on July 23, 2007, 12:11:59 PM
But I think one of the reasons why... You seem to have thought that I changed...
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: MasterKeyX on July 23, 2007, 12:17:23 PM
It isnt you entirely. It's alot of things. But that is one of the reasons. I'd rather not talk about it on the forums so openly, though...

Yeah, you guys need to talk this out over PM's. We're supposed to get along here ::)

This inspires me to try to make a good topic for once, anyway, I'll be sad that you'll be less active, if your gone for more then 2 days, I'll be playing the worlds smallest violin, also the worlds most depressing viloin. I'll have to take lessons from Violinest. Anyway, the point I'm trying to get across is that WE LOVE YOU.
Title: Re:Goodbye, old buddy....
Post by: MagmarFire on July 23, 2007, 05:57:31 PM
Yes! You're staying! I can save some of my MP! :P

I, too, am glad that you're staying, MK. You leaving would be a major blow to the site. Seriously.

Yes, totally. I love you to the extent that a studly man can love a slightly less studly but still studly man without attracting wierd looks and having his house burned down or graffiti'd.

This just saddens me, and this song I'm listening to isn't helping. I don't like people leaving. I've been here for awhile. I agree, it has changed and isn't as active as before, but I could never leave this site. I wouldn't care if I got banned from this other site I go to, but... I have friends here, and... :'( :'(

I like huge guns like these:
