: Bah I always hate reading these kinds of things (aka
: "facing reality") especially from people
: like you who distinctly contribute to this corner of
: the internet gaming community.
: But it's better to announce our departures, even if
: they're not permanent ones, than to just fade away
: slowly and never come back.
