Why is everybody leaving?

GameKinG · 02-18-2002, 12:43 AM

One huge problem with this thread: Everybody respects you, and a lot of people replied in seeing that you made this thread.

Kind of an oxymoron.

GameMaster · 02-18-2002, 12:52 AM

All members please stand strong. I can tell you from my years on the net that this place is unique and that their aren't many like this one. This is only a test being put on us. The Administrators and Moderators have put so much into making this place what it is I would hate to see it go. More importantly, I would hate losing touch with the members here. We are a unique community of gamers and peoples. Hold tight.

Heh, you guys are getting too caught up in the moment.

"lots and lots of members left GT this weekend"
"Why is everybody leaving?"

"everbody" isn't leaving... "lots and lots of members" didn't leave.

Eric left, EPetit left (He'll be back; you wait), and Shadow Fox is leaving. Three people. Maybe some other less-notables are in there too, but don't worry about them.

Let's take what Eric said to heart.

"We are (GameTavern). Every single one of us is. And nothing can take that away from us."

So a few people leave. Who cares. The members make up GameTavern, right? (Right Eric? You said it). So, if a few people leave, who really cares? Nobody should. Just as I (PureEvil) am not GameTavern, Eric isn't GameTavern, nor is EPetit, nor is Shadow Fox. Not a single person who has left GameTavern recently was important.

They aren't GameTavern. We are GameTavern.

Let them leave. Is anything going to change? No. As a matter of fact, things might get better. There won't be an EPetit around to bash people for no reason (Until he comes back, that is...). There won't be an Eric around to cry about the injustice of the whole thing. To cry about how PureEvil is such an a**hole (By the way, Eric... I was only doing that to you. I'm sure if you think really hard, you'll figure it out).

These people who left are better off gone. And GameTavern is better off with them gone. If they were so easily led astray for whatever reason, they weren't the kind of people you want to be talking with all the time anyway.

Don't worry about the quitters. Concentrate on those of us here who haven't left. We aren't bitching about everything little thing we can find. We aren't overly eager to take off.

As Eric said, "We are (GameTavern). Every single one of us is. And nothing can take that away from us."

Well put. Too bad he says that, and then buggers off to play around somewhere else (Makes you wonder, doesn't it?).

GameTavern may have lost a few of its members, but it kept even more. And the ones who stuck around (And who will continue to stick around, as I know many of you will) are the ones that matter.

The people who left? Bah. They're quitters. We didn't want them anyway.

(And remember, GameTavern is definately on the way up. Things have been going good lately. Don't be worried that GameTavern is sinking away or anything. The forums have been getting better, and the site has been getting better. We aren't hurting yet. Try to keep from letting the foolish [thatmariolover, EPetit, ect...] influence you too much).

Worthy of Websters.

And so PureEvil tries to paint over reality.
------------------------

"Eric left, EPetit left (He'll be back; you wait), and Shadow Fox is leaving. Three people. Maybe some other less-notables are in there too, but don't worry about them. "

Wow. Doesn't that show how much you care about your site and its members.

Like I've said and will continue to say, things might be different if you gave a damn.

"So a few people leave. Who cares. The members make up GameTavern, right? (Right Eric? You said it). So, if a few people leave, who really cares? Nobody should. Just as I (PureEvil) am not GameTavern, Eric isn't GameTavern, nor is EPetit, nor is Shadow Fox. Not a single person who has left GameTavern recently was important. "

Nope. You completely missed the point. It's like nature. You can't remove on creature without effecting another. Somebody might like one of us, so they'll leave, and then somebody might like them, so they might leave, and so it's a domino effect. Which is why I'm not leaving and never said I was. I said I was leaving the staff. If you assumed, as you do quite often, I'm sorry.

"These people who left are better off gone. And GameTavern is better off with them gone. If they were so easily led astray for whatever reason, they weren't the kind of people you want to be talking with all the time anyway. "

OK Mom. If we were the first to speak out maybe it's because we care so much. I've never done anything like this in my life, but I'm doing it now because this is B.S. Gametavern deserves better.

"Don't worry about the quitters. Concentrate on those of us here who haven't left. We aren't bitching about everything little thing we can find. We aren't overly eager to take off. "

Again. I haven't left. I spoke out and completely left the staff. Why don't we all concentrate on what would be best for those of us who are here. Gametavern doesn't belong to anybody if it's members communicating. It should be an equal deal for everybody. Interesting how we run it like a dictatorship.

"The people who left? Bah. They're quitters. We didn't want them anyway. "

There you go again. Speaking like you can openly speak for every member of Gametavern.

"(And remember, GameTavern is definately on the way up. Things have been going good lately. Don't be worried that GameTavern is sinking away or anything. The forums have been getting better, and the site has been getting better. We aren't hurting yet. Try to keep from letting the foolish [thatmariolover, EPetit, ect...] influence you too much)."

Jeepers. You sure like to speak the opinions of everybody...

Well speaking to Fox on AIM often, I know that his decision wasn't just made at the spur of the moment. He has been thinking about it for a while now.

Um well Darren.. I will have to beat you up thinking me a wigger.. ARGH

Well Xanny- if you copy and paste from me correct the grammar.. There will always be mistakes

And well bobcat- You bother me and my clones again and well I'll set the GrimReaper on you

Perfect Stu · 02-18-2002, 03:51 PM

I'd love to say some memorable speech that will bring everyone to tears, but what what that proove? That I'm loyal to GameTavern? I think I've prooved that already. That we should all give a damn? Everyone better know that already or you shouldn't be here.

I think a few of us are taking this a little too seriously. Like you're changing religions or something. Calm down. Take a deep breath. If you still think GameTavern is a craphole then leave, for goodness sake. Certainly I would rather have people here to talk to that actually want to be here. If you have a good reason to go, or even if you don't, I don't care. Good riddance. You're not hurting me in any way whatsoever. But remember a few things: Why is your post count so high? What has given you the incentive to make such meaningful posts? What made you give a damn? Once you know what that very thing is, you'll know exactly what to do.

GameTavern migration? Tell me something that means something to me. Like what GameTavern will be without you. If you can put that into words, I'd be surprised.

LoudHowardZERO · 02-18-2002, 03:59 PM

Have you not learned!?!? They never really leave. We just don't see them post for a month, then they come back begging

Just look at Shooter!

Jason1 · 02-18-2002, 04:26 PM

I cant help but feel a tiny bit responsible, with the who hates Jason1 Threads...But I didnt start all those hatred threads, now did I?

fingersman · 02-19-2002, 08:21 AM

Bye Fox. *sniff*

Oh welll you gotta do what you gotta do.
I could give a long post eductional post about this but ...nawwwwww.

C.H · 02-19-2002, 10:33 AM

Well, it's a shame your leaving Shadow Fox, you've always been one of my favorite members.

But like someone else said "YOU'LL BE BACK!!"

Quiet you.

As for everyone else, stop being losers. It's a site on the internet, you don't like it, whoopty doo go to another site. Jesus christ it's not as if it means anything. The last time I saw a bigger group of losers was Sweden's Women's Olympics hockey team.
