*warning... a little droning ahead. Sorry.*

So.. here I am. Doing the thing I really don't want to do, but realizing that it's just the time to do so.

In case anyone cares. It's more for me, I suppose, than anything else.

---

I'll be hanging about in the game as I can. RL is craziness, but I'm gonna get in and beat up on things. Come see me on Pinnacle or something. I'll definitely be there on The Dreaded Day.

But here, I'm done. I didn't have a very satisfying previous post, and it made me think about it... what *am* I doing here? I shouldn't be this irritating like I'm being in some of these threads...

I keep coming here, looking for information regarding new videos by some of the wonderful artists here... perhaps some tidbit that says "CoH will be back *soon!*(tm)"... and I dunno what else. You know... crusin' the forums, catching up...

But I keep getting myself into a little trouble, at least in my own mind, regarding this or that in regards to NCSoft and The Decision, and it's making me feel bad that I'm voicing opinions that are negative. I don't like it. Even if I'm right, it doesn't make me feel good about it.

I'm standing by my decisions regarding the situation, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon, but... I just need to not voice anything else about it. I'm not gonna be conviced to change my mind, and I doubt my words are swayin' anyone else's decisions.

And therefore.. I have come to the conclusion that the forums have to be off limits, or I'm *really* gonna get in trouble, or upset, or tick someone off, or...? Because I can't shut the heck up. Best to just keep things to myself, if I can just button my lip...

So I'll see ya in game, for the time we have left. I'll see ya in Titan's forum, maybe. I'm still debating if that's a good idea either. But I'm done posting in here. (++)Well, except maybe Nov 29/30. One more for the road. But that'll be the only exception.

It has been a pleasure to have participated in these here forums. And the game. And interacting with you all. Yes, even you there. No animosity towards anyone. You're *all* grand.

City of Heroes, salute!

Y'all take care, now, ya hear?

I'm going the opposite direction - I'll be in the forums until they close, but it's unlikely that I'll log into the game again except perhaps on the final day.

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Your friendly posts will be missed. What matters is that you're exiting on a good note, with much dignity and respect; and on your own terms. Nothing wrong with that.

I guess it's true what they say. All good things come to an end. But, you know, I hope you'll be willing to stand up, dust off, and risk it all over again. There are other worlds out there and if exploring them makes you happy, I hope you'll keep exploring--and yes, investing.

I speak from experience. If I had sworn off MMOs after my first sorrowful sunset, I'd never have gotten to experience this game and all of my friends on Virtue for the past three years.

Here's to tomorrow, and to the Next Big Thing.

Take care houtex.

I understand your reasons fully. It's been difficult not speaking my mind on several things but so far I've been able to not click the Submit button on several posts I've typed up.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Yall's good people, houtex.

(Yall's ... I should use that more often.)

Be well, people of CoH.

Bye Houty. Glad I actually bumped into you on Virtue at Atlas 33 that one time.

Always like Y'all. Going to miss your Grr forum avatars. Just one more thing that's going.

I've always liked following your posts, but seeing as we run into each other whenever you're on in game, don't really see a point in saying goodbye to you here. So I'll just say seeya in game, maybe with the next crazy toon you are working on.

Thanks to everyone that helped make me a welcomed part of the community, and for giving me over 3 years of some of the best gaming I've been able to take part in. May the next game bring many friendships and maybe reconnect to some old CoH friends.

houtex...I will miss you. You are as much a part of the forums to me as apples are to apple pie. I always read your posts,,,,good, bad or whatever. Take care, dear one.

Encore!! Encore!!!!

Don't let the bad drag ya down, Houtex.
You're not alone here. Take a break... maybe you'll be back before the 30th.
At the very least, hang around and lurk and read my novel of a last post (if I ever write it) and see my last CoH videos (if I ever finish them)... and... and...

EK's statement about a novel of a last post made me remember writing this one when I thought I was done for good.

It's time-stamped 11/29/2010. Almost exactly two years before this game is being shut down. Seems more fitting now than ever.

Be well, people of CoH.

So... I posted a couple of things... I couldn't help it.

Therefore, I lied. But I really really didn't mean to. It's just... man, there is still good stuff to comment on in this place.

I'm not gonna go commentin' everywhere, mind. I'mma keep my mouth shut on the negativity things. But I have words, they must escape. I can't stop the signal, and I have no Willpower. I picked Reflexes. I am a leaf on the forums... watch me prose.

So yeah. I'm a no good, weak minded, can't-carry-through-with-a-commitment type of person. I'll just have to live through the humiliation.

Meh.
