Yeah, this time it's for real. I've been struggling for a while on how to go through with this, but I guess I might as well just do it. I'm leaving for good. It's my decision based on multiple factors which I don't really want to go into. It's not like it even matters anymore. I've been really absent from here for the last few months, so it's not like almost anyone will miss me.
Just know that the main reason is my life. I'm tired of BS'ing everything for the sake of spending time here. I've tried so hard to focus on college, yet everytime I try, I get pulled back here for one reason or another. And now, I've seen that it's really affecting my performance and preventing me from achieving my goals. So I've decided to finally grow-up and move on.
So yeah... that's pretty much it. I've enjoyed the 2 years I've spent here, but my time has come. I need to focus on other things if I'm to ever make anything of my future. And I know myself, so if I don't permanently take off any distractions, then I'll only get pulled back later. So I'm cutting my internet also, so there's no way for me to come back.
To dbz, Mike, Yoshi, and anyone else whose union/site I have a high ranking position: you may demote me from that position. I won't be using it so there's no point in me occupying that spot.
To everyone I've come to meet these last two years: thank you for the good times. You kept me entertained through periods of boredom, and I've grown close to many of you.
To those I've grown close to: I'm sorry, but it's the only way for me to grow up. I'll miss you all and think about you often, from now until I'm gone from existance. Enjoy each other's company while you can... and may you all have great lives. Goodbye!

So yeah, leaving everything behind will solve your problems, but create new ones. You'll compensate somehow... finding some other thing to mindlessly waste time on... that's what I did. Really, my "absence" during this last year was really just devoted to my own personal needs using sites like Facebook. And now I fear I'll be in even bigger trouble now that I've told myself I can afford to be active here again.
I understand, so I won't put up a fight in you leaving. I'll just wish you luck, and at least make it clear that you'll always have a friend here in me, if you ever decide in making an reappearance. Cheers.
And like dbz said, I'm not going to resist in you leaving cause I've come to realise that I might be doing the same and how it'll feel if someone resists to that. So I'll just wish you luck. Try to come on MSN every now and then from your college so that we can atleast keep in touch a little. Take care dude. I'll miss you too. Thanks for all the good, funny memories. Hope you have a great life too. Cheers!!
The thought has also come to mind many times, but as long as I have an assignment due with a couple of hours before I pass out, I'll be here 
It was nice knowing you, may we meet again someday
;_; We all have to leave one day...
I do know the feeling. For a time, I've been somewhat GS addicted myself. I graduated high school now, but back then, even though it never affected my grades, it did consume time. Time which I needed for school work.
I also experienced that point where I noticed that GS was playing too big a part in my life. Even my parents noticed it. I forced myself to reduce the time spent here, and also the time on the Internet. I made myself realise that my real life was more important than this.
I now only use the Internet when I really have free time. Namely the evenings and weekends. It's still a lot, but it'll become even less when I go to college next year.
I do hope you'll stop by every now and then, like I do. Just to less us know how you've been, and to give us another good laugh.
Cheers mate.
even though im not the most active member of GS i still try to balance this place with my life, i have been more busy in the real world with me getting promoted to manager at work(i got to take classes for work), the girls at work wanting to hang out or talk on the phone, i have to start getting myself ready for college classes, my games piling up to beat, and since it's summer i'll be around less because i'll have to entertain my cousins at my house, but i'll still try to come here every once in a while
i keep making more friends as i stay here more but losing one always s**** because it was fun having you and your squirrels around, lol
