To clear things up...

Yes I am leaving. There seemed to be some confusion about that, and the possible reasons as to why I'm leaving, so I feel some people here do deserve an explanation, and I feel I deserve to leave without any misunderstandings.

First of all, I am not leaving becuase of sit or funk. They mean nada to me. A huge reason why I am leaving is the lack of support I recieved from the NLSC team (with the exception of Jae) throughout the process. Idiots say I argue for the sake of argueing, but that's not it. It's just me not allowing the flow of retards take over this place. I guess its a sad state when people are rewarded for grandstanding on key issues and sitting on their hands, while the people who actually take a stand get criticised just to make the others look better.

Actually, it's pathetic.

But it's not just with the current situation with sit/funk. It happened with Dweaver. It with Filip. It happened with Coolmac. It happened with Arvin (legend). The lack of support is fucked up for those that actually try to contribute to this place and have good idea's. Theres no other way to put it.

It's just a kick in the guts when you put alot of time and years into a place, and then when you do your job you not only get criticised, but your word is only as good as someone who is known for attempting forum revoults, telling lies and making up false acusations.

But I guess thats politcal corectness for you. And I also guess thats why being politically corect makes you wrong 95% of the time.

But good luck with this place. I'm sure people like Andreas will run this ship brilliantly.

That sucks, Matthew, I always enjoyed reading your posts and debates. Whenever I saw a blue icon on a particular forum that said "Matthew" as the last post I couldn't help but click on it. I hope you come back in due time, but its your decision. I guess Jae should stick that waving flag smilie back in his sig now. Hope you don't decide to leave the NLSC fantasy basketball league, it sucks how I guess I won't see a 4 page debate filled with quotes from both you and Air Gordon in the NLSC Fantasy basketball thread... ah well.

Even though we've talked about it I'm a bit surprised you've actually left. I think it's just a matter of peace for the sake of peace, and unfortunately for us "peace" means letting people who shouldn't even be allowed to wipe their own ass run free and do/say whatever they want. I'm not going to make some mammoth post or anything, this is just an internet forum and you're not dead or anything :lol: but having you around here makes NLSC life ALOT easier on me in particular, and I pretty much owe you completely for the fact that I'm a mod to begin with. Anyways I'll speak to you on MSN, I have a feeling this isn't the last forum we'll both post on (apart from Whirlpool :lol: ).

I wish you'd spoken to me about this before you made your decision but if that's how you feel then I guess there's little I can do to change your mind. That said, if you do change your mind there'll always be a place for you.

Sorry to see you go man. You and Jae are two moderators I'm usually on the same page with. I don't think it takes all that much to not be a complete idiot -- but, to each their own. Best of luck with everything.

yeah I'm surprised you let these guys get the best of you, man. Coming from the same person who couldn't forsee the dominance of McNabb (which you absolutely raped me for :lol: ), I honestly feel that people like you and Jae keep "the people who shouldn't be allowed to wipe their ass" in line. Good luck and I hope that you do decide to come back someday (Y).

That's sad, I haven't been keeping with the issues around here since I don't feel like reading posts that run as long as monologues. Anyway, I hope you change your mind soon.

despite my last post, I'm not happy to see you go....you did irk me at times, especially when you made seemingly unprovoked personal digs & were IMHO overly critical on some people (including me) where I thought it wasn't necessary....it would be good to see you around, even if it's in a non-mod role, good luck either way....

See, this is the reason a lot of people don't feel like sticking around anymore. Everyone is trying to be the funny man.

Bollocks to all of this.

I'm not trying to be funny really. It's just that certain people take something like this so seriously, but since I don't want to get flamed for expressing my view of this whole "revolt", I better hold my comments.
