My official retirement

well.. seeing as i havent really done much around here in over a year, i figured i'd make my retirement official
…..it all started one day when i was one the computer, scripting something, getting a little frustrated, when my dad walks by and asks what im doing.
"writing a program" i respond
"to do what?"
"play a game"
"what? why dont you play it yourself?"
i went on to tell him how lame the game was and that it was totally boring to actually play legit
he seemed utterly confused by the fact that anybody would write programs that they didnt run for a game that they didnt play
i pondered this for a while, and decided that i couldnt really justify this strange behavior either. although i did enjoy the challenges and problem solving things with scripting, i decided that there was better things i should be doing
i uninstalled scar and i havent really looked back….. moved on to other things, im sure you all understand… i really have no interest in scripting anymore and honestly hope i never do again…
so….
for those of you that still know me: thanks for making this place such a great place to be! ive been watching this community grow since 2/06!!! keep up the good work
for those of you who dont know me: erm… hi..
ps
admins can change my title to whatever they wish
however, i might still stop by the forums from time to time…
feel free to use the rest of this topic to talk about how awesome i am and how much you are going to miss me ;)

I want to thank you for the work you've done for the include, don't forget that without the SRL Development Team (yes, you too) the Community couldn't have grown to a big Community as it now is, you guys (and girls) are the "pillars" of this forums, thanks for that!

Ah, thats a pity, you will always be welcome here.
You can also start programming other languages, rs or non rs-related, thats what I do.

aww.. thanks for making me feel important :p
scar/runescape was always just a hobby of mine, and i never figured i was doing anything significant whatsoever, but if i did something i did was worth anything to somebody else, then i guess that thats kinda special :)
hehe, ok, so ive never publicly released my msn (mostly because i dont talk to random internet people that much) so dont make me regret this…
[email]woof497@gmail.com[/email]
if you want to ask me a quick question about something ive done in the past or for my expert advice about how to solve a problem or something, feel free to ask
i wont do any kind of request and i probably wont fix anything if it breaks, but i might give you ideas about how to fix it, etc, anything that doesnt require me to install scar, lol
i got a new client thing, so i'll try to stay logged on close to 24/7, so you can leave messages or whatever and i'll get back to you (pm?)
i'll probably only be "available" for random time periods between 4 and 10pm central time zone(convert out yourself)
hehe, alright, once again, thanks for everything
cheers :)

Masquerader, you dont happen to live in Kansas do you? Nahh, way to far fetched…
At least you didn't make this thread for the purpose of makingus feel sorry for you, as many threads saying "bye" intend to do.
