Title: ok guys i am out for good this time
Post by: Dave on April 15, 2008, 12:40:42 am: I have been contemplating this for the last few days. I know this may sound pathetic but whatever.

Its been hard to make this topic because I have been attached to GW since I was 14 years old. I am 20 (almost 21) now and during that time my life has changed dramatically. The last time I left I stayed away for a year and a half during which time my life took many turns. Suffering the loss of my dad I turned to drink/gambling and turned into an alcoholic for which I have received therapy and I am slowly regaining stability in my life but its been hard. I spent more time partying or down the pub then at University and these events have really changed me as a person. I have tried hard to stay at GW for nostalgia reasons but its just not the same anymore. I want to put my knowledge of programming and web design/development to good use and go back to University and further my career. I want to move on (find a girl I can settle down with etc) but I feel GW is holding me back. So this time I am leaving for good and I won't be coming back. This may come as a major surprise to some people because I have only just recently started posting regularly again but I am afraid my short stay is now over.

I may still visit IRC from time to time because I have some friends there, especially Drule who has been great help with my problems over the years (thanks buddy!). A big shout goes out to the following people who are still here and have been fantastic over the years and have made GW a fun place to be one way or another; ramirez, dragonslayer, steel, jeff, chef, impeal, vaginal barrel (#1 dad), jester, strangeluv, velfarre, kaworu, miles, MIKE and many more!

Thank you GW and good luck for the future!

But I guess everyone has a point where they have to move on. So good luck with everything, and I hope it all works out for you!

Post by: DS on April 15, 2008, 01:44:03 pm: I wasn't aware that you were going through all that either, and I'm sorry to hear that. :( But on the other hand, I'm glad that things are starting to look up for you and I hope you'll do well in university. It's a shame if GW is holding you back and hopefully we'll see you on IRC from time to time. Take care and maybe... maybe... one day GW won't hold you back anymore.

Post by: local_dunce on April 15, 2008, 09:24:18 pm: Man, I kind of know how you feel, I've been in some bad places with drugs and alcohol but there were people here on gamingw that pretty much talked me through it and gave me a lot of valid advice. I know it is whiny life shit that people on the net don't want to hear about but we're not all jerks so if things are ever seeming pretty shit and you need to talk to someone just come on IRC.
