Well, shit. I don't know if you're serious, or if you're just pulling a Kiiii, but I'll miss you. Every time a regular drops out, this place gets that much more boring.

Well, anyway, with all the new freetime you'll probably have on your hands, maybe you can finally watch Office Space.

You'll be back.

Well, I genuinely hope so, but we have lost so many good members from here that I don't share your confidence, MLM.

That he finds the atmosphere on MB so disagreeable, is imo, an indictment of how we conduct ourselves as a forum. Instead of valuing and supporting members, there is, as Trollheart and many others have noted, far too much cheap sniping and personal attacking going on. An example, and just because it's on the screen in front of me, is Occult Hawk's comment about menopause. This is insulting to Trollheart and insulting to women. Of course, humorous intention, friendly sarcasm are sometimes difficult to convey online, so it's possible to mis-read what someone intends, but on the face of it, OH's comment is just a nasty personal put-down of the kind which, I suspect, has driven many worthy members away. If Trollheart is now a casualty of this trend as well, this is truly a sad day for MB.

The announcement is the main reason.

Also you don't rack up 20k posts and just leave forever like that.
