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!

It would have been a column about gamers who have been led to commiting suicide for choosing to buy a Microsoft X-Box, and going insane over choosing that console, FantasyMeister was going to be my original target, but I wasn't certain about some people

A section on suicide in the SR mag?

Why on earth would you want to put that into a gaming magazine?

And what section of the mag will this go into?
Bleak Corner?

"Hi, I feel like my life is wasted and I seek to end to absolute, head crushing inanity that I am plagued with daily.
I just want to stop thinking about the noise that fills me up every single day I am forced to repeat the ritual of breathe in/breathe out"

and on the next page, after that light-reading:
"Ooh look, Gamecube is out soon!"

Haagen Daas has cost me my job at SR y'know! If it wern't for them I would have my own page and I would get paid more than peanuts! Ah well, there's always a promising carrer in Drama!

Actually yes! I need to no when everyone thinks there about to die, planning to become a journalist me, going to get an article in the Special Reserve mag and write down everyone who is feeling suicidal! That's of course if you are feeling suicidal, if you're not then ignore it!
