A Final Goodbye
Posted by JBlaze on January 24, 2010, 12:58:38 PM
Most of you here most likely know me. I was a big support spammer back in the day when I first started (March '09), and somehow made it onto the Team here. I must say, I was completely shocked and surprised to get an invite to the team. It was a great honor and pleasure to have helped so many people whether it be in support or customization or wherever I could help.
I have evolved personally with this project. Many people here have helped be get through some tough times in my life, and it absolutely kills me to have to leave. I have made some great friends here, including JimM, Fustrate, Nas, Arantor, SlammedDime, LexArma and many others. I actually blame them for letting me stick around
Well, to get to the point, in short I am leaving SMF for good. There are just some things here that I don't completely agree with, and can't in good conscience stick around. It has been a great pleasure getting to know you all and help you out, and you are one of the best communities I've had the pleasure of being a part of.
Adieu,
JBlaze

As long as you do what you do, enjoy doing it and it works for you, it's all good.
Bummer, though.
I wish you the best of luck wherever life takes you, and I hope that you take care.
Seriously though, sorry to see you leave.
Good luck on anything you do in life.
sheeesh its getting a little depressing around here.... anyway good luck with all ur endeavors man, i know what its like to walk away due to circumstances.
Give me cookies and I will be a happy camper.
JBlaze is gone and if Arantor decides to leave, then I swear I will convert to another forum script.
THANK YOU for all of your contributions to SMF.
I hope things go well for you outside of SMF,

Good lad.
Don't remind of that evil film.
Being banned does not equate into having done something 'bad'.
Like Kindred said, "but on the banning... they were banned because people reacted emotionally and illogically. Once people got back into a logical mindset, in the cold light of day (so to speak), the ban was reconsidered and removed."
"the banners reacted instead of thinking and asking."

Any way you slice it though, you will surely be missed JBlaze.
to be honest. JBlaze is leaving? It seems impossible, he is one of SMF's arms, a part of the
body of SMF, when you come to this community and post, he is always there, always a
great part of the structure. As I said I don't know the details of this, and am in total
confusion... Could you explain JBlaze (forgive my ignorance of the situation) what would
be so incomprehensible, that your choice would be to leave. When obviously there is
such a big community that not only needs your help daily, but also admire and respect
your work here?
Thanx

Don't go! Then support for questions will be slower to get answered!!!
This is the worst forum script, in my opinion:

they are both pretty awful to be honest
