It's been a whopping five years, almost to the mark, since I first joined Psypoke in the Spring of 2001. But over the past few months, I have grown more and more distant from this community - more so than ever before. Sure, there were always things not to like about it, but I had surrounded myself with people around my age, sometimes a little older, whom I thought were decent enough to talk to and share things with. But recently, it dawned upon me just how different I am from all of the people in this place. It was not a cognitive decision, but I suddenly found myself completely seperate from the values and lifestyle of the members of this forum, who spend every waking moment withering away in front of the computer. Do you guys not have anything more important or constructive to do with your lives? The internet is a healthy hobby, but I cannot identify with people who turn it into an obsession. It seems as if the internet and everything that has to do with it has become the most important thing to the members of this forum that I used to appreciate.
I have grown so completely distant from this forum that I feel that I must give up my responsibility within it. The massive amount of young, immature members around here are tolerable, but I have recently joined another web community in which I fit in and really feel at home, among older and more mature people who share my interests.
Don't think that all of the members here are at fault. sNOwBaLL, Galar, Jigglypuff, DatVu, Darkkend, Amphy, TonberryKing... May you pursue your dreams and ambitions and I truly wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
I will be resigning from my post as Frontier Brain and will frequent the forum much less. I may still pop in now and again, but don't go looking for me in the chats, I feel the most out of place there. If anyone would still like to contact me, please, feel free to. I would love to keep in touch with many of you. My e-mail address is:
justplatypus@gmail.com
I can also be found on MSN Messenger. My address:
wolven_fang@hotmail.com
May you all enjoy your lives and perhaps even find more meaningful things to do with them. Farewell.

Bye Nido. Sorry to see you go. Hope you at least visit the chats once in awhile; I'm sure you'll always be welcome. Good luck with the rest of your schooling and what-not. o/~

Nothing lasts forever. Life, family, obession, and being a member of an online community, it all comes to an end some day. In a few years, I'm sure most of the members here will be out pursuing jobs and will be too busy with life to pay any attention to the internet...
I'm sorry to see you leave, because you are definitely one of the coolest members here. You've always been my favorite member of the Psypoke staff since I first started coming to #Psypoke last year, and you'll always be my favorite Global Moderator of the Psypoke forums. I'm not going to say goodbye to you, because I have you on MSN, and I hope to speak with you again in the chats. (You know you can always visit )

Aw thats a shame, you are one of the members I respected.
Oh well, all great things must come to an end as my History teacher tells me... Wait, will pepsi come to an end!? >_>
I hope you have fun at the new forum and fit in well, yes some of us are immature here, including me. But im only 13... It is expected I guess...
At least you will pop in every so often, thats good.
Im obsessed with the internet because I think I have a problem... I seriously cant get myself to do anything else than Kickboxing or sitting on ze chair with the PC.
Anyway, Farewell Nido, I added you on MSN, but I doubt you'd talk to me much anyway, were very different people, I think.
Au Revoir, Bon Voyage... That stuff

Quite right, same situation here. Oh well, at least you're there with your cool movie quotes! Bye! Hope you had an enjoyable time at Psypoke without anyone ruining it by joining! *cough*me*cough*

It's a pity you feel that way about us. If that's how you feel and think it's best to move on though, I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide to do, and good luck with the new forum you move on to.

You've been here for 5 years, so I think you're worthy of a goodbye post.
Anyway, don't leave with any hard feelings, as far as I know everyone liked you here. I wish you luck in your future endeavours, and of course you're welcome to if you ever feel like stopping by.

And so I go from welcoming back one old member to wishing another farewell... a sickeningly familliar feeling, really.
I'm sorry that you don't feel like you fit in around here anymore, Nido, but I can only assume that you're not the only one who feels that way, at least a little. Though, I suppose that after so long it's only natural for people to diverge into different interests.
I've enjoyed your company over the past many years, and I owe you a personal debt for first introducing me to the chats. Without that, it's safe to say I myself probably wouldn't be here.
I'll keep in touch, Nido; I want to see more of those movies. ;P

I've said all that I've got to say before, so here's a final farewell message. I appreciate all that you've done for this community, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours too. I'll never forget how papersun, Kasiya, you and I owned WorldOrder back at the third site

I haven't even been around a year, but I respect you a lot, and you will be missed. I wish I had something more profound to say, some realy cool way to say goodbye, but I've got nothing that hasn't already been said. Goodbye; I wish you well.

It's a shame you have to log off from Psypoke one last time. I just hope you pop in more often then the other old members that Moved on, I see your reason to go, i've been thinking the same thing. But i dont want to leave i've made freinds with alot of you guys here and one day hope to hang out with. And Nido i could swear you've been here a tad longer then 5 years.
Later Nido and let me know how it feels to log in with out the Mod panel.

Oh, Nido... I don't know what to say, I really don't... There's not a lot I can say that others haven't said, but I really want to take this chance to say something I've been meaning to say for a while..
When things change, as they inadvertantly will, it happens quickly. I've been away since Thursday of last week, and yet in this short space of time we've lost a valued Frontier Brain, and more besides... Please, members of Psypoke, head my warning - this forum is not what it once was, and you know it. Whether you're a newbie fresh out of the registration panel or a veteran sitting back with your Mod Panel comfortably at hand beside you, hear my words. Unless we continue to keep this forum what it once was, there is no hope for it. I admit that may of us, myself included, have indeed become obsessed. Others among us have become obsessed, not with the forums, but with the power they hold in the forums.
Perhaps this post will not make it to live another day, perhaps it will. If you are the Mod who is about to delete it, consider this - why are you doing it? Is it because you believe that this post isn't worthy of being read, that it's just the rambling of a confused Flareon? Is it for a true, decent reason - pehaps I've unknowingly insulted someone, broken a rule?
Or is it because you believe yourself better than me. You seem to think that the blue rank gives you the freedom of speech, freedom of action, that you may do whatever you please. This is not so. We may no longer have an Elite 4, we may no longer have our old Team of FEGs, all willing to help and support this forum, but here, somewhere, are members who still care.
Remember this, Psypoke. Don't let Psypoke becomes what it is not.
And Nido - I still think you have beautiful eyes...

'Tis a sad time for all of us...... even for the ones who seem like they are new and don't know anyone around here; For when I was bored, sometimes I'd browse these forums for no reason, and at that I learnt about lots of the members of this community. But for some reason I didn't think I was welcome here.
I know some of us a childish (can't blame me, I'm only early 12, but I'm more mature; and probably the most mature in my class) but from this I have learned that things will change as I get older, and life won't be as easy as it is right at this moment...
Farewell, Nido.

Psypoke loses a good portion of its maturity with your departure Nido.
We never did get in touch much, but one thing I liked about your posts was their coherence; a rare sight in a forum which, all in all, is aimed at younger people, and maturity was never compulsory, albeit welcome.
Oh, and I'm not gonna comment on your eyes, but let me just say I really liked your Neuto Pokedex
Best of lucks in any future endeavours.

Guys... I just want to say how sorry I am. I should never have said any of that, I'm an idiot - I don't know what came over me. I know I insulted people, and I'm so sorry.

Farewell, Nido. I will miss you. And thanks for guiding me when I first joined Psypoke. You're definitely one of the coolest people here.
I will always remember you as the "Macho Mod" of Psypoke.
And by the way, I like your green eyes.
