Farewell

[Joni_78]

I'm leaving, I'm tired of people arguing in every topic nowadays. It just seems this place is full of underage fanboy geegs. Every topic here seems to turn into fight about nonsense and i'm sick of it.

But I will still miss alot of people here :).

I understand what you mean, take care.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.

:laugh:

okay. have a good time ahead!

Bye.

Wait, who were you again? Oh. Right.

[Sethos]

Have no idea who you are but don't let the door hit you on the way out :)

[HawkMan]

Reminds me of the goodbye topics on MMO boards... only ven less interesting.

Can I have your gold ? :p

[Denholm]

I want Joni_78's XP points.

With responses like these I'm not surprised he's leaving.

I agree. I recoginze his name and his post were decent.

It is getting old seeing every thread with a caption picture in it. The community sure has changed in the last year a lot.

Hope to see you around bro.

You've gotta do what you've gotta do. Personally I don't get too worked up over what other people do or say on forums, but I can understand how some things can become aggravating enough to make you want to leave. Don't be a stranger, eh?

With responses like these I'm not surprised he's leaving.

No kidding.

Good Luck :)

[HawkMan]

Well seriusly, if you can't take the heat, don't join a damn discussion forum.

I mean he didn't say he left beceause of the stupid picture posts every WoW kid is doing. he left beause peopel where arguing... in a "discussion" forum.... get real.

And posting goodbye threads ranks right up there with the macro pics and the other stupid pictures.

Yeah there's idiots here ad there's useless flaming, but that's on every forum, and this one has less of them than average, and most discussions are fairly intelligent, at least if you choose to ignore certain elements.

A few have beaten me to the punch, but absolutely, some of the responses are indicative of the attitude that does prevail at Neowin! I also do not know you, but that should make no difference as we are all part of the same community! Good luck and perhaps we catch you sometime soon! Also as Giga said, one should not let the creeps that lurk here get to you!

[Martyn]

If I was going to leave, I wouldn't post a topic about it.

Do you want us to beg you to stay?

Bye.

1) I agree, neowin is now full of kids hiding behind monitors, who in the real world wouldn't stand up to ****, but on here feel it's acceptable to completely berate people and act like the hard man!

2) If you do not enjoy a place, leave - but I would suggest you make mods aware of the sentiment - they need to know the overall feelings on the forums when they turn sour.

3) But don't rub ego by making a thread about it. PM those you wish to stay in contact with. Then again, why the hell not!

It's just an internet forum...

I agree. We deal with stuff like this all of the time. The board is so big that sometimes we are unaware when a member has had a bad experience and we need to hear about it. Our goal is to provide an environment where everyone treats each other with courtesy.

Please return soon! (Y)

Bye

:huh: personally, i'd like to see other forums as helpful and diverse as Neowin, but the reality is that Neowin is a great place, and like all other forums has its ups and downs, but by no means can i ever recall or say that this site as a whole is a joke in any way. And personally, i find that the majority of criticism and clashes are positive, and the amusing threads such as 'LOL catz' are pure class, and our willingness to use 'FAIL' tags on OP's just shows our true involvement, instead of a classic case of simply ignoring the thread/closing it :)

(N) :boo:

[Rappy Veteran]

Sad to see you go, looking at your past posts they are quite decent so its a shame :(

[Nikv]

Look what you guys have done.

tsk.

[GrymmWolf]

It's just an internet forum...

Not just a forum but rather a community.

[Hum]

I've gotten the impression over the years that a few members try to drive away and silence others that they do not like or agree with.

Posts like 'why is this news ?', suggesting a topic is boring, and 'spam' comments go overboard sometimes.

Rather sad.

Probably more than half the threads on Neowin don't interest me personally, but I realize that I am not the whole world.

I try to respect other's interest, other points of view, and other people's opinions.

Most posters are probably just trying to share something they think is interesting or helpful.

Don't fault them for that.

Like or hate the topic -- but don't run down the member.

I have become immune to the criticism long ago, Joni -- perhaps you can too. ;)

[SMELTN]

sad to see anyone go.. I agree the forums have changed ALOT, but it's still a great place for info.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

Forums are a place for people to voice their opinion on things, if you feel like you are mistreated then maybe you should leave.

What's the difference between the forum and a real world?
