Adios

Post by cowsmanaut »

Making my final payment on the site and then leaving. Beowuuf will be the new forum owner unless he chooses to give it to someone else.

Had yet another stressfull conversation with Lunever who will not return if I'm forum owner and it appears there is still some bad blood between myself an another forum regular..

Quite honestly, I can't deal with regular conflict on top of the crap in the rest of my life.. which I know I never talk about but it's there. I spend too much time daily trying to accomodate everyone and so my last act of that is to simply leave.

perhaps I'll come back at some point as a regular user.. we'll see how life goes.

Thanks to all the regulars. Keep doing your thang :)

Thanks so much for your input, your work Mr Cowsmanaut. You've been the launchpad for so much happiness and imagination. Reflect on that when you recall your experiences here. I wish you luck in your adventures. Don't be a stranger.

There must be some hidden forum branch somewhere where the admins throw bad karma at each other...

It's a shame you leave this way. A big thank you for all these dedicated years. You made the thing possible, damn it! I owe you a lot.
Be back soon, as a regular user, without any stress.

Whu...? Okay, now that post by Wuffy suddenly makes sense. D'oh...we're losing you for good this time, Moo-Man? Aaww...well, hopefully you'll sort out whatever went wrong and some day come back, even if you decide not to be an Admin any more or whatever :(.

Aw man, for real? This sucks, I'll miss you Cows. You're witty comments and insights made me laugh whenever I visited this site for the last four and a half years. I never really thought of anyone leaving the forum, especially not from one of the hardcore regulars. Man it is a sad day :(. Well I guess this is bye Cows, I hope you return someday.

Ouch and double ouch! I've enjoyed you (as well as the newest addition to your home) so much!

Thanks for the gift of your time, Cowsmanaut. I appreciate the pleasure of knowing you.

You folks are welcome anytime, if you decide to check out southern Louisiana. :wink:

I'll 'third' it. Still, why wait for Christmas? Halloween would be so much earlier.

No-one can escape this place. Even half of the new users seem to mention that they had an old login that they've forgotten or something. wb!

And just in time for Thanksgiving.

Here's an idea for your 'first' Thanksgiving together. :shock:

Oh dear, I am definitely going to get slugged by your new wife. :lol:

All joking aside, I've been missing your comments, as well as those of karamell116.
