Category: Let's talk
Dear Zoners:
For the longest time, it has been eating at me the thought of me ever leaving the wonderful world of the zone. I have always thought that I would never get tired of the people or the topics, or of the complaints, but it has gotten to me. You see, I am going to discontinue my Zone membership. It is verry hard to write this letter right now, but I know that this will be for my own good and for everyone elses as well. I know that a lot of people will miss me, but most of you have my Aim username, or Skipe user name, so we can still keep in touch. I feel as if this will be a good way to get back on track with my schooling, and education. I am not saying that I will never rejoin, but for now, I have to know that I can not just log in when I am doing my homework, or when I am suppose to be sleeping. I need to break out of the bad habits, and this will help me. Please be praying that I will not miss the zone, but will be able to move onwoard from here.
To my friends:
It was a pleasure to meet each and every one of you! Please keep talking to me via email, Skipe etc. I want to hear how your life it. But please, do not bring up the menchen of the zone. I want to be zone free for a long time.
Louiano, thanks for starting all of those pillow fights. With out them, it would be rather borring. God bless you little cuzz. *hugs*
To Melliana, sissy, I am soooo glad that we have bumped in to each other. Please keep strong, and keep up on the topics that I have started. I will be praying for you sissy. God bless you.
Beth, it was a pleasure to have met you. Take care, and will talk soon. *smiley*
To JV2233:
Nice meeting you, and good luck with your last year in school. Take care and God bless you.
Ruthy, nice to meet you. I hope to keep in touch. *hugs*
To the rest, I hope that you enjoy your stay on the zone, and I hope to talk to you sometime down the road. Take care and God bless you all.
Much love,
Lordlover
The zone will miss you, even if you don't miss it.
Take good care of yourself,
Nick
P.S.
If you ever read this, private mail me your AIM and/or Skype name.
Chelsea,

,james
Good luck I'll be praying for you if you get this add me to your Aol mine is saiyan4414
Take care of yourself. It's sad you have to go but I understand why. Take care of yourself
An update:
Plans have changed. I am staying after all. I have had many people tell me to stay. and I can not tell them no. Sorry for all of the tears and frustration.
Chelsea, This was so clearly a cry for attention in the beginning that I was weighting to see just how long it would take for you to post the above writing. You are a child, who pretends through the possible error in your profile to be far older than you really are, and then put your friends through shit just wanting them to all come running saying don't go, oh please don't go. Attention seaking on this level is just pathetic. Kevin
if you ever intended to leave in the first place you'd have just done so without making such a big drama about it. i can only conclude therefore that you had no intention of leaving in the first place and actually only claimed that you were for the sympathy that you'd get.
my suspicians were particularly aroused when you came onto ventrilo the other night and announce to blackbird and i that you were leaving even though you have been ignoring both of us for ages! lol.
if you wish to leave then leave. if you don't then don't. either way why does it have to be this big drama?
Dan, Kev, I wouldn't expect you to stoop this low. If you know what she's been through, which you don't, I do because I'm one of her very very best friends, you wouldn't be saying this. Chelsea, like I said, I support you in anything and everything you do, whether you stay on the Zone or leave it I will be here for you. Mel out.
You know, people don't have to read what I write. And, I don't have to like everyone. That is why we have the thing called the "Ignore feature." I don't care if you hate my guts! That is fine with me. And, I am not wanting dromma. I was really going to leave, but I was talked back in to it by my own friends. You two need to get a life.
I don't hate you, but the reasons I saw either here, or when you spoke on vt, were that you were being distracted from your school work, and from sleeping. they seemed like pretty good reasons for leaving for a while. I could respect the maturity of someone who did that, but I suspected from the off that you were looking for attention, and to date I've been proven right. to be talked into staying if you had valid reasons to leave, means you are weak, and that your reasons weren't strong enough.
Kev, that's not the only reason. If you ask her, she either has the right to tell you, or she can choose not to. For you to judge her like that, well we all judge but still, haven't you seen half the times we've been criticized for merely stating our beliefs, loving the Lord? Have you ever considered we're getting tired of that? I blame it not on you but... I'm giving an example. Anyway, you don't know her; I do, and you should think before you speak.
i don't hate your guts ll, never suggested that i did. i merely express my suspicion at your motives. you could easily have left the zone without announcing to all and sundry of your intentions to do so. that to me just looked like a blatant and obvious ploy to gain sympathy and personally i don't have time for that kind of behavior.
i've spoken to mel about this privately and she assures me that you aren't an attention seeker and if that is the case then you have my unreserved apologies. however i'd be lying if i said that that wasn't how it seemed to me.
Mel, I don't consider what I said as judging anyone, and also don't particularly care what the reasons were. if they were good enough, she'd have acted on them, and not shouted about it. What she did is a blatant act of attention seaking used by many people. People who believe they're suicidal do it, they go around saying they're going to commit suicide, when all they want is attention. If they meant it they'd just go off and do it. I know that from experience, many years ago I needed that attention.
If I needed the atenchen, I would go somewhere else. Not here.
well said blackbird, sounds week to me...thought that already but still
i'm glad you're staying chelliana! I love ya and will miss you! blackbird. I kinda wondered that too in the beginning, but no I don't think chelsea would do that for attention.
I don't care if I sound weak. I have my friends, and that is all that I need. I am not afraid to block those whom I need to block. Those who are rude to my face, I block right away. Know question about it.
OK .. from how I read the post, it didn't sound attention seeking to me. I personally wouldn't bother posting to say if I was leaving cos this community is so big that there are always people coming and going. but everyone does things in different ways I guess.
RDFreak...I agree with you. It's not the way I would've handled things, but LL, I do not blame you. However, I can absolutely understand where Harp andBlack Bird are coming from. I would be lying if the first thing I thought was "Sure, this is a bunch of bull ****," as we have seen this done time and time again." I don't judge you, it's just not my way of doing things.
I don't get why she always gets picked on. Geez... I was about to PM you asking you to stey, glad you are. Peace out man!
thanks JH. *smiley*
I can understand where you are coming from faith.
I've often wondered if I should leave the zone, but I just went premium, why? I don't know.
I've had to learn to take things as they come on here, and just accept them with a grain of salt.
However, the thought of discontinuing my membership has, and does still cross my mind from time to time.
I just feel that most on here could care less, and like I've stated before, it's like any other public forum.
You have to take things with a large grain, or shaker, of salt on here. If you can bypass the stupidity and the insanity, you can meet some great people here, and it's a good way to be in touch when IM services aren't available at work or school.
very true.
Um? You tell her she is weak, yet that is somehow not a judgment?
Someone please clarify, that's pretty damned judgmental to me. One of the things I respect about those few and far between true Christians is that they aren't judgmental. (A lot of what I say, I'll admit, contains generalizations; be said generalizations big or small.) I don't see her judging you yet you're trying to step on her. Bashing is all judgmental, there's not a bit of it that isn't opinion-based unless you're reporting an event, and then it's still opinion-based once you start heaping criticism on it.
wow, did you really need to bring up an old old post to bitch about what people said on it? heheheh shakes head, what a boaring life some must live. As if there isn't enough bickering on the current boards.
Thank you Shea. I was thinking the same things. If more current topics don't interest you, find something else to do.
i don't know, it was kind of interesting to see how Dan and myself responded to such topics 4 years ago. lmao
Interesting in so much as I can't say as I'd have responded any differently now had this topic have been created 4 days ago, instead of 4 years ago. Though I must confess that I'd be far less likely to respond these days, purely because I've seen this kind of nonsense on the boards far too often. In fact reading my first post to this topic I stand by what |I said really. If a user wishes to leave, then just leave. Don't run off to the boards and create a topic about it. Of course it is attention seeking. What the user really wishes to happen is for everybody else to run along and say "Oh there now, don't be all upset and angry. Stay on the site because you're so popular and we all love you."
This of course is exactly what happened. Well, for the most part. Kevin and I of course took a different view but I think the facts here speak for themselves. Topic created about leaving the site; Everybody runs along saying don't leave the site because you're so great etc. etc. Oh look, Happy Little Faith got the required sympathy and stays for another 2 years.
Topic such as this one have always been, will always be a cry for attention.
Dan.
Um wow! This was a blast from the past. Did she ever leave? I was too lazy to click on her profile. :p Agrees whole-heartedly with Shea!
I agree with Dan's posts. If your going to leave, just leave don't make such a big fuss about it.
