I have been a member of this site for a good four years, and possibly five. My old account, which I forgot the password to, was here for around six or perhaps seven years. I am perfectly content that I've been a part of this site for so long, to have been a member of this community.
And yet, I have no regrets when I say that I am leaving. I do not want my account to be perma-banned, since a wave of nostalgia might wash over me once more. I have only come back to put a bit of fruitless effort into writing this, and for what purpose? Since I don't think having nearly one thousand posts (934 at last count) on a fan site dedicated to my childhood obsession will get me a job any faster.
In fact, I really wonder why I am writing this right now. I know that it may seem rude to those of you who have posted so many times, sharing your knowledge(or perhaps putting down a few words which barely constitutes as a sentence just to get your numbers up), but really, the hours I put into this site, pouring over many topics, creating my own, and struggling when I found I had broken a strictly enforced rule all seem wasted. That may not be the right word, but it is certainly close to what I feel like.
I know this may seem saddening to the longer standing members, and discouraging to the newer ones.
I am merely sharing my view, and you are free to make your own decisions.
Please, if you read this and feel the need to comment on something, PM me, I do not feel like getting five or fifteen or however many dollars so I can have blue text below my username and let people post 'official' comments to my blog entry.
To summarize: I am leaving BZPower, I do not want my account to be banned (Thank you, moderators), I believe my time spent running my fingers across the keyboard countless times was in reality wasted, and I want to hear your opinion of this via Private Message sent to me.
Just as a final note; I am not without humor, but at times, such as this, I can be serious. Again, farewell and thanks for all the fish.
