Indeed welcome all the new and not so new and positively ancient!

Wonder if PREY will tip up? :)

I guess you missed the memo?

Edit: No wonder; it seems to have been removed! :-k

He changed his mind and asked me to delete it. It's not some sort of Stalin-esque attempt at removing people from history. Honest.

So he might sign up after all?

It was more that I think he didn't want to really be the topic of any discussion on here at all, fresh start and all. I believe he still has no intention of signing up.

It wouldn’t be a prey post without the chance of it being deleted. One of his endearing quirks.

Memo?
Prey sent Mantis a message and asked him to post it up, which he did. Just kind of said goodbye and maybe he'd see us around here at some distant point in the future as he was concentrating on family life now. But it looks like Prey then, in true Prey fashion, asked for it to be deleted -_-

More to the point, he said he would not be joining the Gamer's Arms.

It didn't sound that definite the way I read it, although I doubt that we will see him here any time soon.

The PM he sent asking for me to remove the thread on here implied that he wouldn't be signing up at all.

And just for clarity, he didn't ask me to post that quote. He posted a long message in the mod folder on PW and I asked him if it was alright to quote part of it just so that he could say goodbye to everyone without just fading away, as he was intending to make that his last post on PW too. He said yes, but obviously then changed his mind. I don't think he really wants any links with this place. He also said that he'd actually prefer that any messages of thanks or goodbye be posted in the closing down thread on PW, which closes tonight at 6 I should remind you. I hope some of you are around to see the end of days.

Oh. Fair enough. :(

I dunno, I'm still struggling to comprehend everything honestly, but he has his reasons and we have to respect that.

I don't think I'll be there for the big switch-off, though. I said my farewells a little while ago and I think I'd rather look forward rather than back.

Just as long as Dave keeps in touch occasionally with one or two on here, through other means, so we know he's doing okay.
