Hey, folks, just chiming in. It's been 72 hours since my last post ... and I'm ... a spamaholic...
Anyways, I realized that I've been apart of this community for 6 months now. Six months! A lot of people have been here long, many more have come after me, and the one thing that almost everyone has giving is Respect, and almost no one tolerates it when it is not given. Many of you don't agree with me on many topics, but that has never stopped you from greeting me with respect before politely telling me I'm wrong.
I've seen many strong relationships grow over the last couple of months. I've seen people's posting numbers explode **cough** I've seen people shy away from posting, just because they were afraid of stepping on toes and didn't want people to get hurt. Most posts are well thought out, and checked to make sure it won't affend, and on those occasions when things are said out of anger or from an unique perspective, they are accepted, and the board moves on.
I seen support asked for and given without a thought, and at levels that make me sad that I don't do for my family what they are doing for people they have never met. We all have faults, no one is perfect. It's the fact that they are all accepted, that everyone has a place. That is what makes this special.
I am sad. I am not able to post as much, due to job change and work load shift. This is not a good-bye, just a reason (for those who care) of why I'm not here as much. You all have become a regular part of my life, and I don't like getting to spend time with you. This is my Ether-home, and I haven't gotten to spend much time here. AND when ToB comes out, I will have even LESS time to post.
Soon, my friends, soon.
Anyways, I came here by luck of the search engine. I was looking for hints on BGII, accidently clicked on the forum page, then lurked for a week until Moiraine had here accident and about twenty people within the five minutes posted asking if she was ok, if her son was ok, and said they knew something was up, she doesn't usually miss three days in a row, etc. That is why I joined. It was in the Lad's wish Moiraine Well thread that I first posted, and 3000 posts later (including old board stuff) here we are.
Thanks for all the fun, and I can't wait for the next adventure to start here.
