Never really thought I'd be doing this....
« on: April 23, 2013, 02:55:03 PM »
...but I guess it's time to say goodbye.  :(

It's not that I'm not allowed back on here or anything, it's just that I've said "I'm back for real this time!" like, three times.  So I've been gone for a while, really, just thought I should...make it official?

I'll try and get on Skype more often, I promise, and feel free to friend me on Facebook!  (email me if you want my name, I'm not just gonna hand it out left and right :P)

I love this place, I really do, and I'll definitely still be around.  You'll probably see me again!

Lots of love,
    Seal :seel:

I'm sorry to hear it, Horse. But, as they say, a seal's gotta do what a seal's gotta do, I guess.

So many of the RAFians that I've known as a "yearling" RAFian are nonactive now . . . :cry:

I, for one, will miss you, little seal.

(But don't think you won't pop up in Memoirs.)

So many long time members are leaving. I hope you do good in your next Debate tournament or whatever you do.

Oh no. And just when I was getting to know you. :'(

Anyway, I don't really think it's goodbye. I'm sure you won't be able to stay away for so long... but till then, goodbye and good luck with everything you do! :hug:

Horsie, thanks for gracing us with the joy of your presence, your excellent writing, and your kind level-headed approach to threads and posts. We'll never know another like you, and we will all remember you with great fondness during your absence. We wish you very well in all your ventures; you know RAF will always welcome you gladly if you find your way back to these random halls.

The sanities of all RAFians remain safely contained in appropriately sized and shaped green glass bottles, on a shelf in the back room. We'll leave the key to the Sanities Room under the welcome mat, in case you need to get back in. :)

Take care of yourself, dear friend.
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Awwww.

Come back one of these days. (Some of us fade away for years only to come back.) If not, it was great knowing how much you hate tumbleweeds.

Oh no! With Horse gone, tumbleweeds will become overabundant!

I think I may have to piggyback on this...

I still have RAF on my grid of sites I check at least once a day. I'm still reachable by PM, or Steam/Skype if you have me on various lists. But honestly, I haven't posted here in months, and when I did, it was just for the audiobooks.

I refuse to officially kill the audiobook project. It's not dead, just perhaps on indefinite hiatus.

It's been a wonderful 5 and a half years. I'll see you guys around.

I refuse to remove this sig because of some petty argument. RAF must remain solid.
By popular demand, now with Gaz!

*bawls quietly in the corner.*

RAF's a-changin' . . . will it be the same without the seal and the self-proclaimed geek?

RAF won't be the same without you Seal, you will be sorely missed by everyone here. It's always a shame to see a good RAFian leave us, especially one as awesome and insane as you. Sorry to see you leave (RAF just got a lot saner with you leaving) but I hope you'll keep in touch. :hug:
