I'm Leaving
Yes, I am leaving. No, this thread is not for any attention seeking or any nonsense like that. I've been here for a while. I've gained a lot of friends from here and I feel that I should let the community I have been with for several years at least know where I am going instead of just vanishing without telling anybody like others have done before.
There are a few reasons as to why I am leaving which I will highlight below:
Firstly, I have been here since 2006. While that may not be a long time to some, it is for me. That's not why I am leaving though. I feel that since 2006, I have said all that can be said for me. The community is evolving and I don't feel I can catch up. Gone are the days where I could just go into the OSM and discuss topics and enjoy it. Now it's pretty much dominated by a select few people who only want to derail threads and insult each other like children. I feel that all I could have said has been said. I don't feel I can make any new posts or topics that can really stand out and help the community go forward. There's only two things I can really talk about: Sports and Music and I've pretty much exhausted the music discussion and the sports that I like are Australian and I have nobody to talk about them with.
Which brings me to my second reason. I have recently joined an AFL forum which is 10 times more active than this. AFL is my favourite sport and a topic which I can talk about with people for hours. Problem is that I live in an area where AFL isn't that popular and therefore I can't talk about it with many people. Therefore it's nice that I can go on a forum and be accepted for a sport which I like and I can talk about it endlessly with people. I feel that this new forum is a fresh start for me and I'm really enjoying it. I've only really been there for a few days (since July 21st) but I feel as if I belong already. I can talk about one of my favourite subjects without people telling me that I need to shut up or people not understanding what I'm talking about. Simply, I have more in common with that forum than with this forum.
I just don't feel I belong here anymore. I have gone through a lot here but I do feel it's time to step aside and let the newer members help this forum to evolve. The kind of person that I am doesn't gel well with many people here and I often find myself fighting with people. I don't go on the internet to fight with people and I don't necessarily like it no matter how much I do love arguing. It wastes my time as well as other peoples so I am sure it'd be beneficial if I were to go. I just don't feel I have anything to add here anymore.
In saying all this, it's not a permanent leave or anything, I just won't be active for a very long time most likely. I might pop in every now and then and let people know how I'm doing, but I won't be actively posting anymore.
Thanks for the few years I had with you all. I've made a lot of good friends and a few great friends. You know who you are.

Hey, just want to tell you: We may have argued a few times and never really seen eye to eye, but I always liked reading your posts.
Except the ones where you were pissed off. 
Will look forward to seeing you again.

You're new Gnomes, and you still haven't learned that no one ever actually leaves this forum.
So I look forward to being able to chat with you again.  Tata! Be sure to write.
