Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 10:18 pm Post subject: Goodbye PALGN... for now |
|
|
|
|
Recent event in PALGN had reminded me of my past and in the last hour through PM, I have just realised how much I am worth to some people but not only that, I am receiving some inconsiderate and "I don't care" response. Is this how you treat people? Hint, I only pmed 1 person today.
I am being used and I hate that, I am so close to just open the lid and go full on, this has been bottled up for ages.
This is intended to be much longer than last time as my happiness is at a all time low and I need all the happiness I can get to prepare for a major event in my life (moving out for the first time ever).
I will probably come back for the PALGN Forumer award (only probably for that) or to respond to this thread but given enough time and when I am a more happier person. Who knows what will happen so for now (note, for now!). I will reduce my participation in the forum and I write this in advance just in case I made a disappearing act, you will have some idea why.
I love PALGN, I spend more time on anything PALGN than my bf of 6 years (I guess it is because we lived far apart). My last sentence was said to show you how hard this is for me. I loved it so much I am trying to remain being a fencesitter in the situation which is hard when knowing many staffs/mods of the past and present who dedicated numerous amount of hours for this site.
Thank you James V for your countless effort in trying to help the site with the limitations that is given you. As a "fellow developer", I know how hard it can be to get the recognition you deserve but I know you tried your hardest. You get my top place in the recognition as a result *respect sign*
Thank you bargain bin people, Vervain, Kimberly, Joseph and participants of the bargain topic of the General Game thread. The bargains was one of the reason I stuck around with PALGN. You saved me so much money and my wallet will forever thank all these people!
Thank you forumers who helped each other out. Those from the "One Questions" to the "PC Build" to even just any topic where people need help on. PALGN is fortunate to have a huge variety of people who is from different background.
Thank you staffs/mods who puts up with me on my "Report" button trigger-happy. I am sorry if you got banned due to my report but it was great to see over many years, you guys were punctual and often do it without the world knowing (I am a stalker! ). I see many people are also Reporting over the years!
Thank you the PALGN Community for coming up with great news/topic to talk about in the forum. I don't get to talk much about gaming in real life, it is great to see I can talk about games without the special treatment (gender-wise) that I get in real life. It is also nice to see people from the various industry, PALGN does present itself with some valuable networking opportunity.
I wish I am able to go to Saturday's Sydney PALGN meet. It would've been a great way to meet people and have fun with board games. I am still more than happy to assist people who wish to organise meets and attend them when I am available.
My happiness is at a all-time low and I am just merely removing myself from a recurring source of unhappiness. _________________ "Work hard now, play even harder later"

This is by far the saddest moment of PALGN's 10 years, you are one of the few members on this site i always took the time to read their posts, even though i never really post/contribute to your posts i have always had alot of respect for them.
take your time to get your happiness back you def deserve it, hopefully you come back or come on the rocket Island_Wolf you're to valuable a member to the community to loose

She's moving on the weekend... so no Tina gracing games day...
I'll put something in up for next month though, to try to get everyone to join.

Hopefully things will pick up for you soon Island Wolf. Moving out of home for the first time can be both an exciting and scary time. I hope your current home environment isn't treating you too bad.
You will be missed from the general PAL talk forum.

Al the best, I remember talking to you so much when I used to frequent here well... more frequently.
Hope to see you return soon on either PALGN/Rocket or heck, even both!
Best of luck with the moveout, I remember when I did it the first time. Hard, but totally awesome when it's done. _________________ Host on Australian gaming TV show Level 3

It's sad to see so many people leaving, especially ones that post(ed) with such consistency and quality as you did Island_Wolf, it seems everyday there was something new and interesting to read from you.
I can't say I know you well at all, but my heart sank a little reading your post here  _________________

Bah! PALGN is slowly turning into a sausage-fest...
Sad to see you go, hopefully you'll appear on whatever new site may crop up.  _________________

^ Haha! PALGN has always been a sausage fest. When I joined the site I think there were 2 openly female forum members: freswood and zissou _________________

...and a whole bunch of females posing as men. This, however, still continues to this day. Note: jprockbelly has never posted a pic of himself. _________________

As someone that's met him in person, I have to say that facial hair looked fake. _________________
