My friends was never very big, but it just keeps getting smaller and smaller here.
I agree on pretty much everything you stated and even wonder how ridiculous things will get even after the consoles are released and accurate sales numbers aren't volunteered by the console manufacturers and even then may be disregarded if they don't align with what fanboys feel they should be.
I've thought many times about doing the same. It started with Neogaf (my account tagline got altered by a admin or mod in an attempt to humiliate me for something minor and I haven't had success it getting it removed) and now here, gaming forums are just no place for balanced and constructive discussions anymore. It's sad.
Regardless, you will be missed and I know that you'll find more fulfillment in your other endeavors than this community could ever give. Congratulations and take care.
