I'm Out.
Well, it has been a wild ride from the day I came here, back when the MOD was still scheduled for summer release to the day it was released. But this place just dosen't feel like home anymore, could be the 7000+ new members...Could be the release of the MOD, but this place just isn't the same anymore. Well I am off for greener pastures, preferably less crowed ones, I will still check in every once in a while though. Looks like somebody will have to fill in my role as Posting Harlot. Later everyone.

Bye Long, hope we'll see you again sometimes.
word...
I see how you feel man, but remember you're still liked by pretty much everyone with <1000 member number...
Godspeed Long.
Heh. Not really... At least not the way I'm seeing it.
He isn't leaving the game, just because there are too many people that play it now.
Or because he doesn't see it as being as "cool" anymore, due to the increase of followers.
Or because he's rebellious.
He's leaving the <i>community</i>, because it isn't a tight-woven group of individuals that all know each other anymore. It used to be, and he enjoyed this. Now, it isn't. He's leaving.
A community is a group of real people socially interacting with each other on a regular basis. It isn't a game, music style, or a trend. It's people. When a community (core community, I mean) starts to break apart, or at least starts to feel that way... because the group has become so large that you hardly recognize eighty percent of the people that you are interacting with... you might not want to be a part of it anymore. Or at least not to as much of an extent.
It's also hardly an act of nose raising or harsh feelings towards these new members, mind... Just a feeling of separation. Or as he put it, the community has changed. It's not what he once enjoyed anymore. Not because everyone is "lame" now, but because it simply <i>is not</i> the same community.
I may not agree with the reasoning of flat out leaving, but I certainly understand it.
Seeya, Long.

How about.. no. I'll even add in the obligatory "Scott"
The sheer ignorance honestly just disgusts me.
A well respected member of our community (Yes, our <b>community</b>. Not just a group of gamers who are all posting on a forum or involved with a game.) decides to leave nicely, without complaining, and you call him "lame" and patronise him. Certainly shows us the bigger man, I must say.
I'll stop there as I'd basically end up making a complete rehash of ken's post, as I completely agree with him.
*Edit* Ah, it seems Comprox agrees with me. *Edit*
Hope to see you sometimes on a server, you didn't quit playing NS, right? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

See, if you had been here BEFORE the release you would have known me well. I don't expect the newbies to understand, they don't know what it was like before. It isn't worse, just different.
Eep.

Check the registration date, Long <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->. I meant that since I came a little after member 1042, I couldn't exactly say that, so I meant...and so that anyone else could...and I didn't really post quite as much back then so....Oh, forget it. ::rolleyes::
I think I know what you mean, the forums are *much* more crowded now than they were before the game was out, it feels like you don't know anyone anymore. Not to mention the generally inane subject matter than seems to be discussed in the General section. I still hang out here just cause--hey, it's still the NS forums, but it's lost some of the enthusiasm since the days of counting the minutes until the release, whenever that might be.
Sorry to see you go, since it adds to the feeling of not knowing anyone, but it's entirely your choice, and whatever you want to do is cool. Later, dude.
But be sure to lock the door behind you! No one else is getting out of here alive...
Only cause i m number... ehm...oh... dont know, doesnt mean we couldnt be friends!
SO GET OVER HERE! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Dont leave your friends in the rain!
