--My leave from MG was an april fools joke--Shoot, I must have rewritten this post some five times. To just put it out there, I wanted to inform all of you users on MG that I am going to be leaving the website, for a long time if not indefinitely. I was recently on a wait list for a med school that I'd been hoping to get into for a while now, and they finally called me letting me know that I'm being admitted. I'm infinitely excited, but that's one of the major reasons I am leaving the site. The school is rigorous, and it's going to take a lot of my focus to complete with perfect grades like I plan to do. If you were curious about what I'm going into medical school for, it's to become a Nurse Practitioner. To get there, I have to go to school for a year to get my Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) license, then after that I have to take transfer classes to become a Registered Nurse (RN), which could take another two semesters in addition. At that point I'll be making about 70k a year, so I'll be living pretty comfortably. I don't want to stop there though, because afterward I'll have to sign up for classes to get my Nurse Practitioner license, which will probably take a little longer but once I complete the classes I should be making about 90k a year. It's very important to me that I glide through these programs, and with how much I frequent MG I feel as though it could distract me. I just feel like it's for the best. And if all that wasn't enough, I'm actually going to be entering an arranged marriage in the near future, so I'll have to prepare for that. Lots of lots of changes. I just want to thank you guys for sharing these years with me. What's a departure topic without individual goodbyes? These are in no particular order. I don't even know where to begin with you. We've stuck together since day one, and it's really left a lasting impression on me. We've had so many conversations that I couldn't even attempt to guess the number. Talking about things going on in our lives, helping each other through our various hardships... It's really helped me a lot. A ton, honestly. You were a mentor, a sister, a mom, an inspiration, and a best friend. As a tear up attempting to try and form some sort of sentence that accurately conveys exactly how I feel, I think I'll keep it short and sweet by saying thank you for everything. I genuinely wish you the best in your future endeavors. Try not to kill yourself with essays either!  Crap man, it feels like I've been speaking to you forever. You're one of the only people I know who's sense of humor really resonated with me every time you cracked a joke, and you've lifted me from plenty of funks, unintentionally and otherwise. Seriously man, you're brilliant. You always surprise me with your cunning and creative mind. It's users like you that keep me from feeling guilty about leaving SSF2, because I know you always put the quality of the game first before anything else. The team is blessed to have you aboard, and I'm so glad that I actually had the pleasure of meeting you in person, even if it was under stressful means. I'll always remember spotting you at the train station and greeting you in person. Greeting someone I knew on the internet for years with a hug still blows my mind to this day. It's memories like that that will always draw me back to MG because without it, I wouldn't have made them. I'm so grateful. I'll still try my best to go to EVO 2013 with you like we planned, I'll keep in touch. Juice. Tid, Tid, Tid. We've always been the duo of destruction even before Void joined, huh? Constantly thinking of ways to make SSF2 better, or just enjoying each other's company. It blows my mind that one small website could be the glue that connects people from as far as USA to Australia. It becomes the catalyst to friendships that last a lifetime, and I wouldn't have it any other way. We've always just been two clowns. We've always supported each other, and lifted each other up to reach new heights unheard of by anyone previously. We've always shared things that we thought were funny at the time after busting all nighters on SSF2... I'm going to simply miss your presence. It was also incredible getting to meet you because of APEX. It felt unreal. Thanks for being a great person, and friend. I'm sure Deep will do very well, keep it up! For a long time, I was very unsure how to feel about you. You were always very abrasive and hard to hold a conversation with. At first I was very off-put by it, but after a while I realized that it was just apart of your charm. No other user is as daring as you, for sure. I think anyone else would have left a lot log ago, but you staying and interacting with the community really spoke to me. I could be reading too deeply into it. Even though you caused me to rip out plenty of hairs, you're definitely one of the most memorable members of the forum. I enjoyed speaking with you a lot, even if it might not have seemed that way on occasion. I'm glad you returned to MG. Just try not to get warned too often haha. YOU sir are one talented person. To be honest I always looked up to you. Your art style ranges from edgy and hard to cute and fun, your animations are flawless and your personality is warm and inviting. You're a textbook amazing human being, with a heart of gold. You were always the first person to ask how I was doing, if I was feeling okay, or anything. You really, genuinely cared, and that is hard to find these days. You were just always to genuine, and full of love for everyone even under harsh circumstances. I know we used to butt heads quite often, but it feels like we never argued once. To this day, I'm still jealous of the work that you've contributed to SSF2. You're easily the hardest worker, the game would probably still be on 0.7 development if it weren't for you. Stay motivated, you're creating a legacy for yourself. Thank you so much Steven, and I'm sure that whatever walk in life you choose to follow, you'll definitely be successful. Hey there! You must have known you'd pop up in here you sensual old timer. I really wish you didn't drop off the face of the earth. I missed all of our conversations, regardless of their integrity. I can't believe I was going to go up to where you live and settle there, haha. Ah, how time flies. It feels like we had that conversation just yesterday. Either way, I'll really miss you and your constant flow of sexual innuendo. You're such an incredibly chill guy. It was a pleasure getting to peel back your layers and learn more about you and your beautiful child. Your personality mellows even the most high strung people, which is pretty great to be around. It was always a pleasure, and I hope we can hang out some more at EVO this year. Ah, you crazy guy. Mr.Pokemon himself. Man, you are such a great person. So pure of heart, hilarious and just a wonderful guy. You made APEX so great. Your smile and laugh lights up the room instantly, and you're so easy to talk to. It's a shame such an ocean separates us, you're someone I'd really appreciate hanging out with a lot. But I digress. The Pichu paper model you made sits on my dresser as a constant reminder of you and all of the bonds I solidified at APEX. You all have a special place in my heart, and I just want to thank you for extending your friendship to me these last few years. The man who's too big for his britches! Oh boy clash, I treat you like you're my son sometimes haha. I hope to have a son like you in the future, someone as dedicated and talented as yourself would be a grace to any family. You have a wealth of ability that you're tapping into at such a young age, it's mystifying. If I had a fraction of the talent you have when I was your age I would be set. You're such a clever person, and I'm excited to see work from you in the future. Who cares if your parents don't appreciate your art? I'll always be your number one fan. Hey Mr. New mod. You're such a great good guy. It was a genuine pleasure getting to know you more recently. We didn't talk to much before, but it's quality, not quantity right? You've always been someone who was really dedicated as far as I can tell, and it's always been a pleasure talking to you. If I get stripped of my position because of me leaving, I'd hope it went straight to you. Hey there Hakker. It's been a while since we last spoke, but I always enjoyed talking to you. Especially about Final Fantasy, haha. It's always been a pleasure, and it's been cool seeing you change and mellow out over the years. It's almost like you're a whole new guy. Your blurbs were always hilarious, and that's definitely something I'll miss about the website. Dude, you're so coo! Getting to know you better at APEX was such a pleasure. You're a really well rounded guy, and a wonderful husband and father to a beautiful daughter. We didn't know each other for too long, but it's been quite a pleasure. I'm so glad I got to meet such a superstar haha, your streams are really fun and I'll be sure to be tuning into them in the future. Don't forget your extra large pizza! Hahahaha. I'm still so mad we never hung out! We live in the same city after all! Well anyway, you have to win the award for kindest user. You're such a sweet and calm person. Also, Eriko probably has to be my favorite person to draw ever, except for the person in my signature haha. She's so adorable! You should do more with her. I know you've got a crap ton of art left in you, let it out! I hope the best for you, and who knows, maybe we'll bump into each other around Fresno. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person name Ramsey in the city, so it shouldn't be too tough! hahah. Oh good lord, there is so much I could write here. You, are such a complicated mix of the most amazing person ever and the most annoying person to ever walk this earth haahaha. Just kidding, you're so fun to talk to. I'd always call when I'm at work or coming back from it, and we'd just talk about whatever came to mind. SSF2, life, anything. It really helped me to vent. Even though you have some pretty bad opinions sometimes, I was always happy to talk to you. Ya crusty a**, pig boar lookin rainbow humpin' lollipop ranger. Christ, am i going to miss you. Your special brand of awkward humor, adorably horrific drawings and abundance of chest hair makes you a very memorable person, even if you haven't been around for very long. Not only are you a wonderful team member, you're a great friend. Ditching the other devs to grab a bite to eat at APEX with Ya Dad was soo much fun. Getting lost on the way back wasn't as fun, but regardless it was a great experience. An experience I wouldn't trade for the world. You and the other devs really keep a chunk of my heart on lockdown. Thanks for being there. 
Click to expand thumbnailHahaha, luke man you have to be one of my favorite users. I started out with a genuine hate for you and everything you embodied, but after a while you really started to grow on me. You're a hilarious and wonderful person who I will miss dearly. Your special brand of humor gets me every time. Habibbi! You're such a cool guy. It's been really nice getting to know a fellow arabi on the website, it made me feel like less of a minority, ahahah. And I actually had someone to relate to! Who else can I talk to about hummus and sand? Hahahaha. Since I'm leaving you've gotta represent for us both, got it? It's unbelievable how talented of a person you are, yet you're so incredibly humble. Not to mention you're probably one of the nicest and most soft-spoken people I've ever met. If I had your talent I'd probably be the most arrogant person out there. You've saved SSF2 more times than I can count, and I think everyone is grateful for it. I know I am. I just wanted to say thank you for being so great in general. Please, never change. You are just too cool for words. I'm going to miss fawning over things that we're both hype for that nobody else is hahaha. Like UNDER NIGHT IN BIRTH!!! Or Angel Beats, hahaha. Also I still laugh sometimes at that moose picture you showed us. In general you're a really chill guy, which is something I've always been envious of. I've always been so high strung, lol. Stay cool Scott. Mr. Mafia Mafioso. Alliteration! Outside of mafia, you're such a great guy. So hilarious, with great taste in shows. You always reminded me of Void, which made me want to be friends with you even more haha. LOL and I still crack myself up sometimes, recollecting the Magic Train situation with shoop and terra. That was soooo funny, I was crying with laughter. You're a really great person. I wish I had more to say about you! You're so kind and smooth. You're probably the only reason I'd want to try a fire emblem game haha. Great user The hailing king of Mafia. I love how dedicated you are to Mafia, it really shows. You really care about how the community prospers and grows, and I think that's great. You're a great host, and a great person in general. Your sora character guide blows my mind. I love seeing fans with such conviction. It really made developing the game worthwhile. Thank you for that. Oh lawd. I never thought I would be as close with you as I am currently. I didn't even know you existed until you took over the Crusade project. Speaking of which, I have to be one of the only devs who doesn't loathe the game haha. You're a really bubbly anime nerd, which just adds to your already very deep reservoir of charm. I loved to try and help steer you in the right direction with your sprites. You're getting better by leaps and bounds, and you should feel really proud of yourself. Speaking of which, I was meaning to give this to you;  feel free to do whatever you want with the base, it's all yours. You'll get much more use out of it than I would. Please tell Giga Pichu and your other wonderful Crustdaie devs goodbye for me as well, if you can. You are the best MG user and you should feel proud. Dude, I seriously love you and your comics so much. They're so cute and fun to read. Not only your comics, but everything you do. The way you go about making your avatars, your images, even the way you post. It's all authentic, and that's not something a lot of people can say. I really enjoyed reading your posts, and I hope you post much more in the future. And keep drawing! Oh boy. Cleod, it's been quite a ride! I'm going keep this one short and sweet. Thank you so much for creating this website. It's housed so many memories for me, some bad, mostly amazing and all unforgettable. It's hard to believe that after all the work put into it it's time to leave. That's life, right? Thanks for putting up with my craziness all of these years. I'm glad that I got the chance to meet the man who made all of this possible before I had to go. You're insane for doing all of this, I really hope it all goes well. See ya round. That was incredibly hard for me to write, haha. Sorry if I missed anyone, you're all very special to me. I've been looking at this for a while, and it just feels so weird to say goodbye to you all. Well, life goes on. I'll try to pop in every once in a great while sort of like Nini or DT, i just won't be posting. Again I want to thank you all for being so great over these few years. It almost feels like I'm graduating from high school again, haha. When I had problems, you all were always a second family to me. See you all soon.

Damn it Ramsey I can't read with all these tears in my eyes I ended up making something up on the spot. I didn't tell him how I truly feel, and now I feel like such an idiot. Since I joined, I've felt that he always could be talking to more important users instead of lil' ol' me because (in my mind) he's a celebrity; someone I look up to. However, I've been proven wrong time and again, as he's easily one of the most down to earth people I know. Now I feel like all those times I was pretending to be someone I'm not, the real me could have spent more time talking with him and getting to know him better. That is my largest regret. I hope everything goes his way in life and that he'll live it to fullest.

(Listened to this through the whole thing, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-t06qBtiJkVery fitting if you're familiar with the series.) Geno, I dunno what to say really, although I really do. You've been the greatest help to me in the last couple months, always giving critique on whatever I threw at you (even if I didn't follow it). You're like a mentor to me, as far as spriting goes, at least. Your sprites always come out beautifully and I wish that one day I can get to be as good as you. We had a lot of the same interests (Angel Beats! and Cave Story being pretty high up there) and it was always fun talking with you. Hopefully you'll pop up in the chatroom every once in a while because I'm really gonna miss you. I'll pass the message on to the other Crusade devs and hopefully get a sincere farewell out of them instead of some dumb MGiga crap, lol. (00:27) Dr.Geno: holy s*** I cant do this (00:34) Dettadeus: what (00:39) Dettadeus: geno you can do anything you set your mind to SET YOUR MIND TO IT GENO (00:40) Dr.Geno: I'm writing my farewell post lol (00:40) Dettadeus: nevermind EDIT: Oh yeah, and really hoping to catch you at EVO! I have a pretty good chance of going as a stop on my way to Japan to visit my sister, so hopefully I can meet you in person there.

I won't need to try to not get warned if you're leaving, since you're the one who warns the the most
Later, man. Good luck with your work (and be sure to pay for my plane tickets to come visit you when you're making 70k a year)
