Joby has left the building.
Joby, or er-no to those that don’t know him, felt he wanted to leave the forums because of comments from certain people he thought were his friends. Some people will know what these are, but I’m certainly not going to tell you. It’s not my place to drag up old issues, but those who said it know who they are. What’s said was said.
Now, admittedly I don’t know much about er-no, because I’ve only really been here 3 months. What I can say about him though is this: er-no is a really great guy, smart, funny and always there to lend a helping ear. He hasn’t been posting much lately, despite being voted 6th Notable, but when he does it’s always funny and worth reading. Even in the old days, when he was an annoying little get, everyone still loved him for what he was. He was The No.. er-no has become a bit of a friend to all of us, and is not scared to share some personal information, as anyone who has read his “My Way Out” post will know. He is a true regular, very much a part of SR. We’ll all be very sad to see him go. Many will try to persuade him to stay, but he seems committed.
Anyway, the er-no you know is no more. He has stopped posting on SR, despite what anyone says. I have been talking to him on MSN over the past week, and this is his final decision.
Goodbye er-no, we will all miss you. Come back soon.
TO EVERYONE ON THE FORUMS:
Please leave goodbyes for er-no, as he would like to read what you have to say. These can be personal, serious, funny or pleading, but er-no really is leaving so please, have some respect.
TO TONY: er-no has requested that you please don't remove his status as Notable. He says he will return one day, but only after a period away from SR.
LIGHTER NOTE: And when he returns, THE FORUM WILL KNOW ABOUT IT!
I haven't got a clue who offended you, but why leave and punish all of us for the actions of just a few? It doesn't make sense.
If you read this, think about it, please - these forums need all the interesting characters, like yourself.
The probably never meant it anyway.
The forums do get stale after a while so if you want a break then that's fair enough. We'll all be looking forward to your return. :-)
I'm not sure what to say. Whoever been saying this stuff about er-no is is an idiot, but there's no point in going on about them, and trying to find out who you are.
I knew er-no was a great guy when I first met him. I was in trouble on the WWF Forum, and he helped me out. Whenever I've felt down he's always been there to talk to me. He has been a superb friend, and will be sadly missed.
He's a superb poster, he knows what he's talking about, is unbiased, and perhaps deserves more respect than he gets. He deserved to keep his Notable status, as he is one. If ANYONE ever says that er-no didn't deserve to be a Notable, or doesn't deserve to be one because he's left for a while, I will hunt you down-as will many others on these forums.
I've made er-no one of 3 main characters in my latest story. I chose him because he deserves it, thanks to all his personal qualities, as well as his great writing talent. This is a trgaic day for the FOG Forums.
Come back soon mate. {:)
Thanks for reading, Ant.
If you wanna write mnusic and stuff go back to your playroom and listen to Westlife.
Believe me, I have nothing against you, but dont try and be funny when its not needed.
