How do you start something like this? I don't know if there is a good way to say goodbye,

No, there's not. The only way to start something like this is by not starting it...

I stumbled upon VGChartz almost eight years ago when my old forum home was shut down (anyone remember NSider?). I was actually in the process of choosing between here and NeoGAF, but of course GAF takes ages to vet you so I guess you can say that I chose VGChartz because of it's now infamous ease of creating an account. I guess everything does have a positive side (and yes, my GAF account was eventually accepted. I believe I have something around 6 posts in my eight years there). |
So impatience was what made you choose VGChartz!

Somehow I became a "writer" and instead of actually writing things I just doodled and called it a day. Those doodles earned some laughs (and even earned me some scorn... whoops!), but I only drew them because of what a bunch of crazy and lovable folks you all are. So in that sense, thanks for being so inspiring. |
I guess in a sense, we could say you write doodles?

It's been quite an adventure here on VGChartz. I've spent a little under a third of my life on this site, and I can only look back at it all with a smile on my face. Thank you all for making VGChartz a community worth striving for. Before I do go, there's a few things on mind that I want to encourage you all with as this place continues to grow and evolve. After all, this place is only as strong as the community allows it to be. |
All I hear is reasons why you've enjoyed your stay, not reasons to leave it!

1. Return to what makes this place so special |
Hard to do that when something special chooses to say goodbye, don't you think? At least you said goodbye. :(
| Smeags said:
2. Create positive traditions and culture |
How about a Doodle Thread? Huh? Huh?? :(
| Smeags said:
3. Use your gifts |
What if those are our handsome sex-appeal? We post nudes?
| Smeags said:
4. Build up instead of tearing down |
I guess you can always tear down to build up something higher?
| Smeags said:
Wright: I'll always appreciate your friendliness towards everyone on this site and how inviting you make this place for others. You help to make VGChartz a better community. |
Not inviting enough if you're leaving! >:(
| Smeags said:
And so, it's time to move on. |
:(

Does this means that I at least will be able to stumble upon you more often (i.e: once every Full Moon) in Skype? Huh? :(
