 Re: Farewell Thread
Posted by Nickelplate on Tue Mar 13th at 12:31am 2007

I think I'll be leaving.

I spent most of my days for a few years on this site posting every time I could get a chance. Now, I'm one of the oldest users here. The oldies have dropped off, and I feel out of place. I feel that I am a person who always wishes for days past and on the net it's the same thing...

I'm starting to withdraw from the internet and it's weird. The places i go are places I don't like and I only go there because I need the company. This is a place I like. I'm leaving before it is sullied in my mind.

I think I'll stop mapping. Even though I like it, it's frustrating to never finish one...

I've left my sector in the world represented by Fatstrings. He's a talented new mapper and he has a lot to offer. I'll be back someday and every once in a while I'll stop in to say hi.

Snarkpit: you've given me a lot throughout the years I've been here and I hope I have helped some people along the way. God bless you guys.

Sad news indeed - but definately a dilemma many of us who aren't the pros (so to speak) face. With all the PC's you have, I guess IRC will always be there for a chat?

edit! - i thought i was one for taking the pulse of communities... seems I am usurped! <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

Always sad to see someone leave. Althought I'm not overly active here, it's one of the few sites (probably the only) I've visited regularly for such a long time.

It's funny that you mention how you're one of the oldest users, because I still think of you as "one of the new guys" together with all the others that joined around the release of HL2 (you did join around this time, right?). <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Best of luck with whatever you choose to do mate.

No. I joined at the ANTICIPATED release of HL2. Which was about 1.5 years before it actually happened.

idd. Well, not very new ofcourse. There have been a lot of big debates involving you i remember <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

Anyway, there are actually still a lot of users posting with a member number below 1000, so i don't really understand why you feel out of place.

But it's your decision and i'm sure it's founded. gl in all future endeavours, and i'm sure we'll see you again.

Sad to see you go Nickel <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif"> Like most of us here, I've had a fair few disagreements with you since you arrived, but you're a genuinely nice guy and have been an asset to the community over the years. You'll be missed.

Did you ever finish that muscle car of yours by the way?

*sniff*

Although I haven't seen you around for a while, this is coming as a surprise. "Nickelplate"... in the time I've spent here, that name has always been such a central part of this community for me, it's weird to see you go.

I'm glad you consider still dropping by from time to time, Nickel. It's so sad when people say that they'll never come back again.

Bye, and good luck with whatever you plan for your future! <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Well I'm not the kind to be impressed to tears by a melodramatic farewell on an online forum, but i'm sorry to see you go, nickel. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">
Don't be a TOTAL stranger now, ya hear?

man, now i can only argue with you at work, and orph won't be able to join in on the fun <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

though I've only been at the pit for roughly a year.5, it seems like it's going to be empty, if you're already gone though I guess i'll just have to tell you this at work

It's always nice to take a break from stuff. I'm only just getting back into mapping after taking a year and a half or so off.

What kind of example is this to set for the noobies and I?

Well, post updates of your life and such, and don't spend every second of every day thinking about what's happening at the Snarkpit.

You can never escape...

Its been good having you here Nickel, hope whatever you fill the void in your time left by the Snarkpit is even more fulfilling. You, like all the other regulars (and yes, you are a regular) who leave will be missed.
