The Gone, Away, and Returned Thread II

DaydreamBeliever said:
I've been thinking about this for quite a while and finally decided to do it.

I'm going to no longer be active on TDL with the exception of the "Classic Movies" and "Twilight" thread,and maybe one other from time to time. I haven't as much online time with college now,and I'm started to really enjoy the communities at livejournal.And as several of you know,I'm not much of a Narnia fan anymore,so there's not a lot of threads here that interest me.

I will still get on from time to time to answer vms and post on those two threads but otherwise I won't be seeing most of you guys.

Goodbye and thanks for the past years,it's been fun.:)
Lots of hugs,and I'll miss you all.:)

:( You will be greatly missed. Good luck with college!
 
Bye Audrey...

I also have to say I think it's time for me to bow out of TDL as well. No more hours on end spent on here... There isn't much for me to do here anymore since the RPs changed. I'll still come around to check a few threads and for visitor messages, pms, etc. And of course the Mafia game. But that's gonna be it. School is also taking a lot of my time too.

TDL is no longer "my home away from home"...

Fare Thee All Well, and thanks for being my friends when I needed ya'll.

awww, you and Audrey will be missed so much, it's so sad to lose the members who have been around for so long :(
 
I hate to have to be doing this too.
Even though no one really remembers me anymore :/

Anyway, I'm starting my freshman year of high school, and I really need to get used to being in a new school and everything. Plus, I don't really know anyone there. I'm sort of having a personal crisis at the moment. I love TDL and all of the members here, but I'm not checking it and spending hours on here. I'm cutting down on my internet usage since there actually is a real world out there and I want to see as much of it as possible while I'm still young. TDL and a few other websites are holding me back from that.

Also, I don't feel like this is really the environment for me. There's a younger crowd on here too (lol I'm one to talk,) and I can't express things the way I usually do on other websites. In other words, I curse a lot. I don't think this is the right place for me anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I might be back. But I doubt it'll be anytime soon, considering the fact that I barely check this site anymore. If I do come back, I won't make a large scene or post in this thread, because I'll most likely be on for two days and that'll be it, I'll disappear again.

On top of that, I don't feel like I can relate to most of you anymore. I've drifted far from Narnia and (as most of you can probably tell) I'm more interested in concerts and music. I haven't really met anyone who has the same music interests. I think that's the only reason I came back from that long hiatus way back when...

If you'd like, you can add/follow me on facebook | twitter | livejournal.

I love you all so much, thank you for making the past few years great.

- Kay.

It is, GG, but the problem is: why are they leaving? I know that both of them have said it's for personal reasons, but I have to wonder if there's not other things here, like members starting fights with other members? Yes, it's hard to believe, but it's been happening, and frankly, I'm tired of it. You know, I've kind of adopted the attitude of "it's going to make me mad, so I will ignore it or just avoid going into those threads". It's also very sad when ADULTS are picking fights with other members in the public forum; if you're so upset over something, PM or VM that user. This is a major reason why I have stopped trying to pick fights with people, and why I have often contemplated leaving.

Someone needs to put a stop to it. Otherwise I think we're going to see a lot of veteran users leaving.
 
My thing has nothing to do with anyone on TDL.... I love ya'll on here and to leave...I dont really want too but... I have to pay attention to my school work and tending to things around my house and...try to get through life.

I'll probably be on more on the weekends then the rest of the week

Hey y'all. Probably most of you don't remember me because I haven't been on much recently. And as you can probably guess, I'm leaving.

I started my second year of college on the first and I'm swamped with homework. I really need to focus on my school work because I have to get very good grades. And with having to decide very soon where I want to transfer too, I can't afford any distractions.

Also I have been having some massive problems with my arm. I have Carpel Tunnel is my right arm, and I'm right handed. Because of this I have to be very careful how much I write or type. I don't want to damage my arm so much that I would need sugary.

Finally, I'm not interested in being here anymore. TDL has changed so much since I joined and I'm not sure its for the better. Its very disappointing to see how some people are acting, and arguing over tinny things. Like Aravis said, its very sad and disappointing to be seeing some of the ADULTS, the people we are supposed to respect and look up to, to be picking fights with younger members simple because they don't agree with them about something. If that is what TDL has turned into, then I want no part in it.

I will be on probably once every other week to check PMs and VMs. If you would like my email or to add me on facebook just PM me and I can give you the info.


Bye everyone...

Tess
 
Nobody has forgotten you! I remember when you first joined. ;) But I can see the thing about homework; some days I don't get on at all because I wantto get my homework done and out of the way or I'm just tired from doing homework. I hope your Carpal Tunnel gets better; I'm afraid I may develop it with how much I type.
 
I agree with Tess completely. And with Aravis too. We are members here who have been here for a long time now. Not as long as many others but still long enough to see how things are changing. And I'm not talking about Narnia theme itself but more in general. I stay active because I want to stay in touch with many good friends I made on here during the years but I really don't care that much anymore. I do miss the great years from the beginning when people started to discover this board but I know life continues and people grow older and school is more important. But the spirit is long gone now ... very long gone

Will miss you both. And no we haven't forgotten you. I know for me at least it's hard to forget someone who's made an impact on my life. And all the people who I talk to make an impact on my life. You two are no exception. *hugs*
 
I was really debating on whether or not to say anything about this...but feel like I should for any who are curious, lest Gondorgirl or Tsukiko be hounded to tell.

I've been thinking about this for a very long time, and especially with school and everything going on in my life (not all of it is good, and therefore is fueling this decision), the time has come for me to say goodbye to this forum permanently. More than likely, I will never post again after this. If I log in, it will only be to check visitor messages, but don't expect me to reply. You are free to reach me through my e-mail, aravis3@hotmail.com; but please include your TDL username or TDL in the subject line before you send it, otherwise I will delete it without reading it. I won't erase my signature, since some of you are reading and keeping up with my fanfiction; but please note, I won't be reading comments about them posted here.

LIke I said, anybody is free to contact me via e-mail, VM or PM, but anything on the forums I won't be checking, unless I see that it's life and death.

And if you're wondering, no I am not sad about leaving at all. I'm sure every other member and moderator will be rejoicing.
