I will miss you guys, I really will. Especially:

Well, all of you.

Take care, and may God bless you.

To anyone who cares/reads my profile:

Due to some recent events, I have decided to quit the Academy. There is a possibility that I come back, but it's pretty slim. I've thought of quiting the JA several times, but never did I have enough, or important enough, reasons. On the contrary, now, I see no reason for me to stay. I'm half welcome, and half not. And just like a typical quit msg, I'll add that this place isn't what it used to be. It has changed; in a bad way. I'd rather not go into details here, for it might end up in my account being closed (by an admin), which will totally erase my chances of coming back.

I also want to add that I've made lots of new friends here, all of which have helped me. I wish I can do the same for them in return, some day.

I only just read this. Oh well, we will all move on.

BTW cmad, if you are reading this, I changed my mind. Maybe this place isn't perfect. If it was I don't think I'd love it as much. :P But I still find the academy a fun place to be. Things are always going to change. You either deal with it or you don't. Am I sad to see you 2 go? I don't know. Maybe it will make no difference to me at all. But I will still hold you both as friends (whether you like it or not :)).

Byes.

Well, things change.. Too bad both of them leaved the JA, but I'm glad I'll still be in contact to them.. That's one thing that's really great about the JA, you get friends who even after they/you left this place keep in touch.. I'm glad for having friends like you guys, and I know we'll stay in touch. :) Too bad you had to leave the JA, but I respect you enough not to question your reasons.. Afterall, it's your "half-life" :)

-Peace out-

I'm deleting my posts here because I do not wish to be...tied to the politics (if you will) of the JA. We're both entitled to our opinions.

Well, SWK, I don't like people doing this kind of things and then posting stuff like "if you wanna know why, ask me". We're a big family and if you have an issue that can possibly make you leave, you can speak freely about it.

I knew James had left and that's really sad.

But now cmad has left too??!?! :(:(:(:( I, for one, am gonna miss you, cmad. Yes, I did read the entire good-bye message you wrote, and it was worth it. :alliance: I hope I can talk to you on MSN from time to time, because you're a really nice guy (I just hope you don't hold any grudges against ME :(). If you don't wish to keep further contact, then good luck in whatever you might be doing in RL or online, man. :) As I said, you're one of the persons who have made a great impact on me, and my memory of you will not fade away easily (it would take an alzheimer or something to do that :P).

Bye, you two. :alliance:

Ok, I'm gonna try to add some wisdom in here.
It's not pleasant when you're unsatisfied with some decisions/statements to hang around here. I can understand that, I went through this myself some months ago. I know how you feel: you think things are run badly, unfairly, you try to find explanation because you placed your trust in something and you can't accept the reality. Sorry for you two guys, I've known you both, cmad I've had a lot of talks with you, mainly PS oriented. James, you and I are padawans of Smily, we had some good talks too, and I appreciate your kindness and all.
However, you guys took a decision that is mainly motivated by the fact you're disappointed. Alright, it's not nice to be very disappointed, but at some point, you stop trusting the admin team to believe whatever you wanted to believe.
I did the same 10 months ago. But I realized how wrong I was only several months after.

There is one thing you must trust when you're part of the JA: the admin team takes decisions upon facts, proofs and witnesses.

If you don't trust this, then you don't belong in here because the admin team runs this place for people's fun. We don't like seeing people leave like that. I don't like seeing people leave with a bitter taste in their mouths. Especially when I consider them as friends.

Take care guys, you can always contact me on MSN.

Personally its a bit trivial as to why they left, " Swings and roundabouts " thats the expression that comes to my head.

Cant say i will miss u guys too much, u didnt really speak to me all that much, but im sure u will be missed by me in some sort of way :P

Good Luck Guys.

PS. Cya in about hmmmmmmmmmmm 2 Months Max :P

I know exactly how these guys feel. The thought has crossed my mind many times but yet I have endured.
The thought of being forgotten and ignored is very destructive to a sensitive mind.

exactly know what you mean

case in point: how many people noticed I wasn't here for over a month?
I might have made 20 posts in 30 days... I think 3 noticed...

lol i did :), but it dont bother me as long as we still catch up sometimes on msn or something :)

No, Gradius. A week and half isn't much, I know. It should have been the last 3-4 months instead.
