I'm serious this time.

Since I registered here on Feb. 10, 2007, I have met many new people who I now talk to regularly, and I have lost some (due to the banhammer). I never even expected to get to Level 20 and 5,000 posts. Guess I was wrong. At this moment I am at Level 31 [92%], and 14,465 posts. Unfortunately, my time here at GameSpot is over and those numbers won't go up.

Over the past 7 months, my activity has diminished to a mere 2 posts a day. Crazy huh? I hate to do this, but I think it's time for me to move on. As of a few days ago, I have cancelled my subscription, which means I am no longer the admin to my UCB. I also apologize to msudude211, as you opened your new UCB (Which btw looks very nice) right as I'm leaving.

If you talk to me a lot though, you know there are plenty of ways to talk to me even if I'm not on GameSpot anymore. I'll list those in a bit.

I just wanted to say it's been fun, but I feel that GameSpot is just not the same anymore. Now I know I've said that before, but the reviews seem to have gotten softer, the community has gotten worse in a sense, and it's in a way depressing to see this place like that. That's also just my opinion, so don't get defensive on me. So to sum it up, I'm leaving. This is not a break or a vacation.

For those wondering, no I'm not going to Giant Bomb like some members of the community. Nor am I switching to IGN or any of those other sites.

I may post very rarely in the forums if I see a topic that looks good, but other than that I'll be gone.

You can reach me a variety of different ways. I'll list some:

Twitter: Link - I've also got AIM and Windows Live Messenger, PM me for those.

If you have an account on any of those, I'd really appreciate it if you'd leave a comment or PM with your usernames/ID's to those so we can stay in touch.

So I guess this is goodbye..

See you all later.
