Situation (somewhat) resolved. False alarm.
My grandma fell and broke her arm so I have to take car of her a lot now, but apparently her wifi is better than anticipated.

That's very kind of you to step forward and help out. I hope your grandma recovers soon!

Thank God the situation isn't as bad as it was anticipated to be.

i'm not going anywhere anytime soon! i'm here to stay.

Oh damn, good bye. It was nice seeing your comments on the forum; it really made the forum more fun and lively. ;_:

Gonna miss you bud, and I hope things go well with you with what you said was urgent.

nononononono, i'm not really leaving, it was only a joke...! i'm sorry, I upset too many people with this ;~; I just posted this earlier when I was going to eat my pizza dinner is all. i'm staying here for good...!

Ah omg its all good. Its probably my fault for not reading the post properly. xD

but still, great to see you're not leaving! ;D

And then I realized I was trolled

I have returned due to not want to not be here.

Lindsey wanted me to tell everyone that she'll be gone for at least a week due to unexpected family events. TheDarlingErika and DannySleepTalks will be with her, so they'll be gone as well.

Don't worry, she's fine. She sends her love.

I hope everything works out. Thanks for giving a heads up, Metallo.

I'm gonna be off of this site for a little while because my tests are coming up and I need to study

See you next thurday's afternoon

Welcome back to the forums!

Thanks very much! Great to be back!

Starting this afternoon, I’m going dark on all social media in an attempt to steer clear of Infinity War spoilers. I’ve waited 10 years for this, I don’t really want anything to be spoiled for me for once. My showing is Thursday night, I should be back Friday morning. Fingers crossed that Star Lord, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Spidey, and Shuri come out alive!

DC dies, all the characters live.
Not 100% accurate (not even 1% accurate probably) but there. I ruined it.

But seriously, good luck with avoiding spoilers and see you later!

Social media and review embargoes are lifted after the LA premiere tonight, so you should probably get off the grid a little earlier than just Thursday.

Oh really

Yeah, than uh, goodbye everyone

It wasn't a joke.

On April 23rd, 2010 I joined darkSpyro amidst the news of the Spyro movie being cancelled. I wasn’t very active, probably posting only three times at first, but I was here. I would become a more active member starting in 2011 and became that serious pest who, albeit barely, is still here today.

Eight years and 32564 posts later, I think it’s finally time to say goodbye.

I know I haven’t been very active over the last year and a half to begin with, but I still held onto that mod title thinking someday I’ll be able to be more active while also having that itch that kept me here. But at this point I think it’s just time I move on to the next chapter of my life. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to be more active lately, and that I couldn’t perform my moderating abilities more.

This feels like both an easy and yet so very difficult decision to make. On the one hand I haven’t been that active, so it feels almost like I’ve left already and now I’m just making it official. But on the other there’s a fairly large chunk of my life I’m looking back on when reflecting on the site over the last few weeks I was here as a more active member, and it only now hits me just how much time I’ve invested here and how many experiences I’ve had.

And jesus christ. In my eight years I’ve:

-Participated in ridiculous debates and gained a bigger outlook on subjects like religion and politics.
-Seen the backlash to Skylanders’ debut for Spyro’s redesign, and then the backlash to Skylanders for being a milked franchise.
-Spent two hurricanes chilling on here when unable to go outside.
-Become a moderator for the first (and likely only) time.
-Been able to meet ThroneofMalefor in person and get help from him in building my first PC.
-Been able to meet Kitty and attend a broadway show with her, and get a jar of cookie dough with personalized Spyro drawings from her.
-Been able to meet TheFlyingSeal, albeit for such a sadly short time.
-Made recent plans to meet Lindsey in person, and potential future plans to see Vespi and Seal again.
-Gotten into relationships with Ice Dragoness and Spyro-Gamer, two people I’ll never forget.
-Made close friends in Sonicbrawler, Avatari, Spyrobaro, and Canidae that I hope last for years to come.
-Learned a great deal about fitness through Samius, and have become a healthier person since.
-Help kickstart a Skype group that spent some time as the “official” means of talking with dS users outside the site and has probably had more influence on S&N than it should’ve (full disclosure, Semp is my favorite guy to talk to in there).
-And met a variety of interesting characters both for better and for ill.

And while you guys have been pains in the neck sometimes, I have nothing but respect and hope you all do well in what you seek to achieve. I’ve not exactly been a globetrotter on a load of forums, but I feel confident in saying that darkSpyro has been by far my favorite experience, with users I was at one point able to call a second family of sorts.

To anyone I've ever done wrong to, or have felt I did wrong to them, I am well and truly sorry, and hope we can move past this and into better parts of our lives. I never meant any harm or ill will, and it hurts knowing that I've ever done anything malicious to anyone.

To those who listened to my music when I made it, thank you so much for your support or simply giving me a try. I will continue to make music as a hobby well into the future alongside working on animation and live action film. And those who have my contact on Skype and Discord, well you probably haven’t heard the last of me.

I thought it’d be easy to just up and leave after being so inactive for so long, but now that we’re here it’s a difficult thing to do. But chances are if I continued to bum around I’d just become inactive again and the cycle repeats itself. There’s always been that belief that you can never truly leave dS (god knows even banned users can’t leave), and while I won’t completely rule out the possibility, I have no intentions or plans on coming back in the foreseeable future. I think today is truly the day we part ways.

All I ask from you guys is that you always get better. Depression and anxiety are really hard things to beat, but sitting at home and stagnating will only make it harder to conquer it. Always try to do at least one productive thing each day, whether it be cleaning a part of the house, practicing drawing, or going to school/work. It's easier said than done, but in that case you'll still be keeping yourself active and growing as a person.

Thank you so much for the last eight years. I wish only the absolute best for you all.

You've been a great person in my experience, and will be missed greatly. I wish you the best as you turn a new page in your life.

I can't say I've ever known you that well CAV but it's honestly sad to see you go.

I sincerely wish you the best for whatever comes next for you.

May the power protect you and may the Force be with you.

We didn't get to really talk much, but I'm a bit sad to see you go. I also wish you the best in your future and thank you for everything you've done here.

Well, I'll be seeing you later CAV

Also, just a note

I'm gonna be a little less talkative in the next 3 days, mainly because of Standardized testing

So long to ya CAV. May greatness come to ya.

Quote: Samius

Sad to see you go, CAV. If nothing else, I hope we'll be able to keep in touch via Skype.

or also possibly Discord?

Aw man...that was so hard to read, CAV. For all the years I’ve been here, you’ve been a near-constant presence, and things are gonna be a lot more different without you. I trust you when you say that you know it’s the right decision, however. Thank you for all the goodness you’ve brought to DarkSpyro, and thank you for ending on such a positive note!

I dropped the shield for the week but I guess I've been dragged out of my blackout for the news.

I actually cried reading that, CAV. darkSpyro is going to be a much more lonely place without you here, but I really wish you luck on your endeavors. I really appreciate all the good times we've had, and because of this site, I genuinely consider you one of my closest friends. Moderating is a hard job, and I thank you for all you've done for this site. **** it, I don't know what I'm trying to say here. I'm not good at this emotional stuff.
Just remember, don't give up on your film and animation dreams. You have the drive and ambition to make all your goals a reality. Just... don't forget about us when you're an Oscar winning director, aight?

I have your Discord. Keep in touch.
I'll miss you, dude. <3

CAV it really saddens me that you're leaving. You were always pleasant to talk with, I loved your music as well.

I do wish you the very best in all you do. I'll miss ya CAV. ;;

Speaking of the film industry, CAV, it's a nice thought that perhaps you and I will be working together one day? Directing me in an Oscar Sweeper?

Can I join

I've always wanted to be an actor

Ooh, then I can praise or trash it!

Goodness, CAV’s gone? Like the end of a ****in era here, jesus.

Doubtful you’re reading this now, but on the off chance you are, best of luck with your future endeavors, CAV. I always saw you as a very admirable person. Shame we never got to talk much outside a few times, but I remember those being relatively pleasant conversations. Best wishes, dude.

i saw infinity war

i wasnt ready
you arent prepared
no one is
