Farewell My Friends.... Or Not

Farewell My Friends.... Or Not

Fades into the sunset.....well, maybe not yet...

Hey guys, I have decided to spend a lot less time here, for various reasons.  (I have a list.)

Rather than just not ever show up, leaving some to wonder what happened to me, I decided to post this, just so you know I'm ok.

 

I may lurk now and then, and I will continue to test skins for a few people.

Otherwise, I'll not be around much going forward.  Please don't ask why, because I wouldn't wish to have to go there publicly.  Let's just say that WC and SD have served their purpose for me, and I'll be moving on.

 

I will leave my skins for anyone to enjoy as they wish.  

 

I will not be renewing any subscriptions, so I may show up as a non member at some point.

 

Yall skin your asses off, have fun!   Adios.

I have sensed a certain "upswing" on the site since this Covid shit, glad you'll stick around, things could get interesting ;)

It's just a pity that other members of WC left and never came back... or resided in the shadows and didn't speak up very often.  I understand that people have lives outside of WC, but I sure as hell miss some of those departed/hardly ever here members.

Some are in the shadows for good reasons and come back one time or an other for good reasons too

Yes, I understand that.  People have lives in the real world that can sometimes consume spare time and detract them from enjoying some leisure time, such as visiting WC, for example.  My comment mostly related to the fact that I do miss so many of them and hope that they do in fact return every now and then to say they're doing okay, etc.

BTW, we haven't seen much of you for a while and it's good to see you again.... hopefully all is well with you and yours.

:)

not much time to skin anymore, but I keep enjoying what others do

That's good to know.  With this Corona virus creating havoc across the globe it's great to hear from friends to say they're doing okay.  I've not been directly affected by the disease and I don't know personally anyone who has been, but that's most likely due to myself, family and friends are self isolating as a precaution.  Hopefully a viable vaccine is developed real soon.

As for skinning, well I don't do icons anymore, but like you, I too enjoy the works of others.

Due to Covid-19 I have only been out of the house 3 times since March this year.... not that I was getting out much beforehand because of Arthritis and subsequent mobility issues.  However, I have other health issues that could worsen if I were to become infected with Covid-19.

I too wish everyone good health, happiness and safety during this difficult time... and not just to those here at WC but EVERYBODY everywhere.  I read the news about the thousands of deaths around the globe and I cannot help but feel for those poor souls and their families and friends.

This is really sad news. I have been a lurker on this site for years now and I have ALWAYS appreciated and greatly enjoyed the skins created by all of these talented people. Your skins have always been my favorites. I am nobody but I will miss seeing your creations. Please don't ever believe that you are not appreciated.

I didn't go. You guys talked me out of it.

 

I just get a little frustrated at times, and I usually let it get the best of me.

 

By the way.....keep eyes open for a comeback, of sorts.  Hypersoon.

I just saw this, and am stunned to think you will not be here. I have so much of your work! There will be a big hole no one else can fill, and while I wish you the best, I wish more that you will reconsider or at least not be a stranger. And when you visit, keep your name so we know you're here! I am officially in mourning now... :'(

I'm still here. Maybe not as much as before, but I am considering skinning again.

Something to be thankful for amid all the rest of the chaos these days. SO glad to hear this. Now my breathing can return to normal.  ;P  :grin:
