I know I haven't been a member for so long in this forum, but I truly appreciate everything this forum did for me, I learned more than I could ever imagine.

Hopefully some of you learned at least something from me as well.

I'm leaving Yu-Gi and everything behind since im planning on getting married and having children, so my life will change completely, and well, it will turn to other things on the process.

So with that in mind, I thank every single one of you for everything, thank you once again and well.... farewell.
 
Well, it's been "swell" having you around, and it will be a sad day "temporarily" losing a fine member of COG, but there will always be room to fit Yugioh into even a hectic schedule, as you will always need something to call a hobby and take the edge off living in the real world. I've been Married for 16 years and still managed to find time to fit other activities into my life that I did before I was Married.

Being married doesnt mean you have to completely change yourself, it just means you have to do some of the things you use to do, "differently", and with a new perspective. If your wife to be understands you, she should also understand that she is marrying you with all your flaws and attributes combined. You may not be able to play as often, but you shouldnt be forced to leave the game cold turkey either.
 
I agree. I look at your absence as temporary. Good luck on your wedding and your marriage. Don't leave everything behind, otherwise you may find yourself leaving a part of yourself behind, that which makes you, you. And part of the what your future mate found attractive in you to begin with. I wish you well, and look forward to hearing from you again. Start up a wedding website or something. ;)
 
Take care, Slither. It was my son that got me into this game in the first place so you never can tell. You will be busy enough in the meantime though, with a wedding on the horizon. I wish you well and hope to see you back.
 
Though I didn't know you for long I am still sad to see you go! Please do have fun in life and good lick with everything! Ganbatte kudasai!!!! ;_;
 
I have a better idea than DJs. Have a giant yugioh tourny at the wedding so everyone can attend and have fun then do the ceremony and that should be great fun and might get the missus involved too so ya can keep your hobby without her smacking ya around a bit.
 
Like everyone else has said, I wish you all the best with the wedding and everything. Congratulations. But please, say it ain't so. Don't leave us and YGO for good. It's a decision I'm afraid you'd regret. And one that saddens me to hear. I'm glad you learned things while you were here, and I know I definitely learned things from you. Please make this a temporary absence, and we'll see you soon.
 
Ouch! That is painful to hear, Sr. Slither. I always felt a fondness for you, seeing as you were the only other person I ever found dueling out of Central America.

Perhaps you could keep popping in now and then just to let us know how you are doing. I wish you well, in the meantime. And enjoy this next step you are taking!
 
Jason C. would like me to pass this along on his behalf...

Jason says, "I consider this to be the epitome of a tragedy. A forum for debating and discussion is losing an intelligent, knowledgeable, and pleasant member - something in general short supply on the internet - and for little reason, at that. As the others have said, it is entirely possible to balance family and online time. If, however, you find that you simply cannot fit everything in, know that your presence shall be missed, even by those who you may think stopped caring long ago. Your contributions are not without appreciation, even if that appreciation is without proper recognition. It is a sad fact of life that most people never get told how much of an impact they have, and so they stop to think what it might be like if they were not around. Then when they announce they are leaving, it is often too late to convince them to stay. Regardless, take this sentence with you on whatever journeys may lie ahead for you:

The ones who never tell you what a difference you make do so because they assume it is obvious to you.

And yes, I still know how to read. So when this forum loses a member, it is a loss to me, as well."
 
I'll just support what has already been said....temporarily...we'll miss you. As a father of two in a marriage that is going on it's 23rd year....I can say that it's important you make time for play! The days move to quickly and life becomes too short, it's easy to forget to play!

One of my favorite quotes, "I've yet to meet a retired person who says, "If I had to do it all over again I'd have worked more and played less."

Becoming married and having kids need not completely change the face of your life, instead I think you'll find it may change it slightly, responsability comes with family.... but those who love you support your passions.
 
Ditto!! Keep your cards in a safe place (unless you need to sell them to pay for the wedding (those things are expensive--and I have 4 daughters! Oh, I'm doomed--anyway...). I too got involved via my youngest daughter. Moreover, the great thing about having kids (when the time comes) is you have a great excuse for watching cartoons and acting all immature and funsy. That reminds me, a couple of more years and I'm going to need some Grandkids, or I will loose my excuse for childplay! Actually, I have conviced my wife that YuGiOh! is as serious a hobby as her Cross-Stitching and Sudoku. Nevertheless, only you know the situation that you are in. You must determine what is best for your wife, life and family. So, although we will miss you, we all support you and your decission. I know that if I had to choose between my family and Yugioh!...although I would give it long thought....I would more than likely choose my family. I would cry for weeks on end for either, but I'm certain i would probably might maybe choose the family. Yeah....

Anyway, May God richly bless you as you embark on this great adventure. A new chapter in your lives. It is a heavy responsibility, forming new life and seeing it through to the end. Counseling is always recommended. Remember that communication is key to everything and that there is nothing that you guys can't work through if you do it together, but apart, even the simplest things will seem insurmountable. You will do well, Slither. You have patience and can see another's point of view. That will work well for you. Take care, and come visit. As you can tell, there will always be a warm spot for you here.
