Serioulsy though, I was told back when all the threads were deleted that the original "plan" was for PB to wait till he was an admin. again and then delete our threads and ban several people himself. Well the time is here so I figure my days are numbered. I'd rather leave than get banned for something that happend outside of the forums.

I'll be around in the slacker's and basher's web sites and in the chat room. Don't worry, it's cool. I just don't want to post here anymore if I have to worry that everytime I hit submit it will say "your privaleges to post here have been yadda yadda yadda." And I don't want to have to avoid threads because of one person. (Which I have already been doing for months.)

This is not a good bye really, just more of a way of saing I won't be around here much but I will see all my friends in other, safer, places where I can be myself.

You should stick around.

After all, if you're going to be banned for something PB assumes you're going to do, you might as well have the fun of doing it!!

I did a little thinking this weekend and I think I'm going to be reducing my profile around here. No, I'm not going to be leaving or anything...I'll probably still post every day...but I've noticed that I've become a little TOO dependent on the slack. It's not a problem but it could be if I'm not careful. I love Star Wars, but I'm at a point in my career where I'm too qualified to be a secretary and not yet a lawyer, and most firms don't bother with clerks these days. Consequently, if SW WERE to cost me my job, it would be kinda hard to find another one. I would rather slack a bit less and not worry about it.

I'm not going anywhere though. I'll be around. Heck, my resolve might last for thirty minutes. But [Luke voice] I have to try.

Slack on!

PS Sandfarmer, if you hit the road, you're doing exactly what certain people want you to do. Don't do it.

Do stick around Sandfarmer; nothing wrong with just lurking, or posting only occasionally, you know . . .

The rest of us will have to slack even more to fill the void! Is this even possible . . . ?

Sandfarmer, please stay. There's so much more you can contribute to these forums.

Lt. Piett: Hmm, the HMS threads could use a little filling in the voids. Any new ideas? By the way, my story won't be finished for at least another week. I hope you understand.

As for me, well I've been posting less lately for obvious reasons. Besides the fact that I haven't posted anything in the "Episode II/III Forums" for a long time (due to personal reasons), I have other things to attend to now (like continuing school, routine matters, etc.). But I love the Community Forum, so much easier to broaden my horizens.

Well, as much as I have finally reached the 700 post mark, I have left a very big gap in the Ep. II/III forum for more people to post.

Still, Lt. Piett, I am as founder, very loyal to the HMS threads.

So if anybody can walk away from "Star Wars" at a moment's notice, then I admire your persistance. No matter what happens, I'm still a very loyal fan to George Lucas' handywork.

I came here to bicker.. But not with you, or against you. Just to bicker, to myself.
