    Really, I do. I mean, when I saw ryo's post on the first, I was thinking, he's gotta be joking. It doesn't look like he is, so that sucks. But even if he were...well, I wasn't expecting a thread like that. And since I was aware of the date, I didn't want to post this and have people think it was a joke.

    As is obvious, I haven't been around as much as I used to be. That's what I get for having a life. And I was just told that I'll be moving to a different place at my job, which means more hours than I have now, which means less time for everything else. I've been here for over six years now (seven in August), been doing the MU for over five, and this board has been my home for the whole time. So I think it's time I took a step back. I don't think I'm essential to this place anymore, and it's obviously not the same as it once was. I will definitely not make a claim that I'll never be back...especially since I'm still going to be writing my RE5 fic and I'm sure I'll want to post it. I will also still check PMs. As far as modding goes...well, I'm sure someone will take my place. Phyllis and I can decide on that, so I guess you guys will get something good out of this...or at least one of you will. [face_tongue]

    I haven't given up on RE, so this isn't about that. This is just about needing time away, which I'm sure you guys can understand. I'll be contacting someone about taking over the MU. Oh, and this is what that title is referring to.

    Thanks for the memories. [face_peace]

    For those of you who are confused, those represent the five stages of grief. I was so close to my 5K... I was going to put a mention on it for you... which is weird, I know, because I never talk to you, but... Well, good luck with that job, either way. Six years is a long time, we'll all move along eventually, I suppose :)

    EDIT: You know what, I'm going to put that mention on there, anyway, so there [face_tongue]

    I thought you would never leave...

    Well, I guess we had some good conversations together. I mean we didn't get along at first (i.e you made fun of me), but we got past thought and started to somehwat get along. I'm glad that I got know you, and I will miss you. Bye Amys, and good luck in your life![face_peace]

    And now for a mini-tribute to the most posted thing I have posted you:

    I'm not going to act surprised, because I knew this was coming, and yet it still shattered me! I know we haven't talked much, but we have agreed one more than a few subjects! I've observe your posts and posting styles greatly, learning from you as much as I could how to be a better user, and I will certainly miss that.

    But this is more of a celebration for you, rather than a heart-wrenching black day for the Resident Evil board. Congratulations on your job change, I read about it in the CT. And I totally understand your life is moving so fast! Its great that you understood that you wouldn't be here as much, and that you are doing what is best for the board. I really admire that, and hope in the future I am able to make the same great sacrifices as you.

    Good luck, and I REALLY hope to see you around, even if it is just a few posts here and there... I hope life goes according to your plans, and you and Anthony may live happily ever after.

    I'm just thinking, its amazing how much some people affect our lives, even if we are hardly in contact with them.



    I knew this week was going to get worse, and it is so fitting I post in here as there is a horrible thunderstorm outside. But, ironically, tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful. The sunshine shall come after the storm, so we must move on.


    Bye Darkblood, hope to see you around. [face_rose]

    F.ing people getting lives, I tell ya [face_tongue] Yeah, I kinda expected that after seeing something in ryo's thread...

    So.. Good luck out there, post from time to time, and stuff. It's not like you are leaving to never come back, so no need for moar drama on my part. And I'd suck at that kind of drama, anyways xD

    Damn Amber.

    End of a mother ******* era! You've been the centre of the board since I came here, without you this place is going to get some use to! You're a true legend round here, but hey, it's only the internet. Thank you for the script we did together, I really enjoyed it. We all move on though, and my life is far more busy and demanding than it was three years ago when I was a big poster round here. I still find enough time though to check it daily, so feel free to get me modded after you leave. Haha only joking, well sort of, but anyway, I'm sure I'll speak to you on MSN etc. Take care hun, going to miss you!

    I like drama. It makes me feel like Faith to break out the dramatics when no one expects it (Buffy reference, another thing I'll miss[face_tongue])

    Faith is badass.

    Probably not. It seems like every time I've tried talking to you on MSN over the past couple of months, you never respond. [face_confused]

    Well I don't know, maybe you weren't actually around or you just didn't see the IMs, but I know I've contacted you at least a few times and never got a response.

    Oh. My. God. Yes.

    I seriously watch every single thing with Eliza Dushku in it just because of Faith. I remember one day when the first episode Faith was in was on during the summer, and I was at my friends house pretty far away from my home. I rode my bike basically through green lights just to try and get home before the end of the titles.

    I made my friend smuggle me into his moms work to see it because we were still a mile from my home. That was a good day!

    I'm sad now, but I'm also really happy for you. Between the new job and promotion, and finding a boyfriend, etc., I'm glad everything is working out for you. I always knew this day would come, I just didn't expect it to be this soon. Good luck in life. [face_hugs]

    OK, enough emotional stuff. Will you still be signing into AIM or MSN? I've never been a big chatter, but I might have to put one of those to good use now, just to keep in touch every once in a while.

    All right. I'm sure we'll keep in touch somehow, through private messages or whatever.

    This will take a while to sink in. The RE board without Amber? I wish I had something going on so I could leave too. [face_tongue] Just kidding.

    Whoa! [face_shock]

    Sorry for starting the snowball rolling. :(

    I had to step briefly out of retirement to say something to this.

    You really are the soul of this board, Amber. I mean it. When I first came here, you were already here. You're the first user I remember imprinting on my memory, and that's saying a lot.

    But of course, I understand why you're stepping down, even though the reasons are different from my own.

    But yeah, you've done a lot for this place over the years. No one can every say otherwise. And you're perhaps the coolest RE chick there is in existence, fetishes and all! [face_shock]

    So, keep on rockin. At least you're still be around in some form or another.

    Peace.

    I feel like this is the worst week of my life. Losing friends to the sands of time is about the saddest thing ever.

    Also, orphan kittens. So ... sad ... *bursts into tears*

    Amber ... you shall live on through all of us!

    *are collectively murdered*

    Or not.

    Funny how just when I start to post again, everyone is leaving. First ryo, now you.

    Never really had a chance to speak with ryodin as much as I should've, but that's just the way it was. You however, is different, and that's what hurts. Now, we haven't really caught up in a while, so I guess that softens this blow a bit, but it still feels like I'm gonna be losing an old friend. So yeah, you'll be missed. Ryo too, of course.

    I bet you guys planned this, so you can run off into the sunset together.

    On the bright side, maybe this means an MU that will actually have its features updated regularly?

    What the hell? Why is everybody leaving?! I'll start bathing, I swear!

    [face_tongue]

    But seriously, this place is going to end up in terrible shape at this rate. All the regs are leaving or posting less, and very few good noobs are coming here and staying. It can't end well.

    Anyway, it was fun talking with you in the CT and through PM, Amber. You were nice to me when I first got here and I definitely appreciate it....even if you do think I'm weird.[face_tongue]

    I wish you well with your job.

    I guess that can't be helped. You are legend.

    I remember back in the old days I said I would never leave this place. I don't think I have much of a choice anymore. I'm hooked forever. At least I say that now. Maybe that will change one day.

    I'm kind of in the same boat, Amber. Graduating college later in the month, I'm deep in the process of finding a job (in fact, I'm interviewing somewhere tomorrow). I know that the next year will be one of great change, and I can only wish you the very best. I've been really busy, and while it hasn't stopped me from posting, it has prevented me from ever doing that fic I really wanted to, as well as other things. I wasn't as active in the board community as I would have liked to have been.

    The boards have changed a ton since I first came hear, but as Ryo and Tim mentioned, one of the consistencies was you being the heart and soul of the board, keeping everyone sane in the wake of Capcom's insanity. Well, almost everyone... illninofan could not be helped. :^O

    I can see a lot of other vets leaving in the near future as well, particularly if RE5 doesn't turn the series around, or at least a half-turn. Maybe I'll be one of them, who knows? Where I will be after this month is up in the air, but I'd like to say I'll be posting at IGN for a while to come. But the unforeseen is exactly that.

    In any case, this is one of the few boards that could really be defined as "[this person's] board," and this is your board Amber. It's been a blast. It will be different around here, that is for sure, but I know you've left a positive impact on everyone that has posted here. Best of luck on your new career; hit me up on AIM from time to time. [face_peace]

    People who make farewell threads are never entirely serious about leaving.

    If someone loses interest in the forum he stops posting. If someone still cares about the forum and more specifically what the people on the forum think of him (or her in this case) they tend to make a farewell thread just to see the impact it would make. It's a way of getting confirmation from the community on how valuable or dear you are to them, more so than a serious goodbye thread.

    I know you'll probably return to this forum in full force Amber, this thread proves that you'll begin to miss it soon enough. And for as far as all the melodrama goes, which I'm usually not into, let me contribute by saying I've never seen the RE board without you here, so I'm sure you'll be sorely missed.

    You would not feel sadness, if you never tasted joy. That's the curse of humans, born in passion you destroy.

    It's ryodin's fault is it?





    Seriously though- wow did not see this coming on at all...a warning would have been nice? I just can't really picture finding anyone else who would put that much detail into the MU or have that much time for the board. I suppose it was bound to happen but damn, why now? It's going to be hard to find someone who is at the same time likeable but also puts the fear of God into them the way you do.



    Anyway it's funny that you guys were talking about Faith...been watching Angel season 1 lately and I just saw the eps she was in-awesome episodes. I always thought her character was a lot more interesting than Buffy's anyway.

    Wow...this sucks. You're the last person I'd expect to leave...but we've all got lives outside of RE and IGN. Hope all goes well for you, and I'll be waiting for those times you pop in. [face_hugs]
