Ladies, gentlemen, mammals, insects and fish, I have some sad news to deliver. One of our most respected members has left our midst.

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!

So you are offended by me saying you were a top bloke?

And I'm trying to be polite with my comments to you, however it doesn't appear to be working.

Why the hell would you want to write a thing about people commiting suicide because they bought a bloody console?

Are you that goddamn insensitive that you would trivialise something like that for a pointless joky topic?
And you want someone to email you with suicidal thoughts?

You bloody fool.
You utter, contemptous child.

Tell you what, I'll email you the letter my friend left when his brother found him, after blowing his face off with a shotgun almost 3 years ago this Saturday.

You want to read that? It ain't pretty you punk.
Grow up, get some clue about serious issues and don't trivialise something like suicide with a poxy attempt at humour.

You make me sick

Read the whole topic Goatboy, you might understand more about what I have been drivveling on about for the last hour or so

*When I said take back, I wrote down what you wrote in the Copularity Pontest, you put down Top Bolke against my name, I was giving you the chance to take back that remark and place another one*

My chance to take back what?

This is confusing.
Why would you want to write a story about people committing suicide because they bought a console?
And why would you want people to email you with suicidal thoughts?

Okaaaay.

I'm probably just not understanding this very well.
You were going to do an article about people killing themselves because they bought an X-Box?

And you want people to write to you with suicidal thoughts so you can use those for this story?

(not being sarcastic, honestly trying to work this out)
