Packing Up

[Phantom]

Well, I know I've said this before but I'm leaving. To be honest nothing is keeping me here anymore, and I think my reputation as a "whiney maggot" or "complaining bitch" is not making my stay here anymore enjoyable. The staff I know has mixed feelings toward me, and hey I think most would have loved to see me banned and I think I probably should have stayed banned if this is what I was coming back too. Being on a so called "Ban Probation" is boring, being told I have to just stick to Trivia threads and nothing more is ridiculous and I think the staff was just toying with me on that issue to see how far I would get on the probation before I got warned or banned again. And to those people that think I was on here just to "stir up trouble" I think you need to check yourselves and not be so quick to judge.


To a couple of staff who I can tell really does care I want to say thank you, and sorry if I've been somewhat of a bonehead, it wasn't intentional. So yeah, like my good friend Nathan before me, I'm packing up and hitting the road. I might come on from time to time to lurk (as I've gotten somewhat good at) but otherwise just think of me as gone. To my fellow members who I love and care about take care and have a happy Hoilday season.

This is Phantom, signing off!

That's too bad you're leaving, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Your recent threads were alright in my book too. Oh well, have fun lurking!

and one more thing...



You stay classy San Diego.

It's your decision. Maybe TFF will spark back up for you soon, and you'll come out of lurking and eat this thread up lol. I hope so (except the eating part - I can't imagine it being easy to digest ^^; ).

See you around Phantom.

I probably didn't make that good of an impression of myself in the "TFF got boring" thread and I apologize for that, but I still hope that you decide to stick around. It's sad when a member decides to leave because they feel like they're being treated unfairly, and I mean sad as in I feel sad because no one should feel like thier being treated poorly.

I liked reading your posts, and I liked your threads. I didn't see a real problem with them either. I may have not posted in too many of them, but they were still interesting to read.

Well, I suppose I should say goodbye then, even though we haven't really met. It was nice that you gave a notice that you were leaving instead of just saying nothing. To me, that means that you care about the people that you are leaving behind and you wanted them to know what's up about the circumstances of your departure.

Isn't it a bit weird that you guys and myself are posting on a thread where the person left. If he was true to his word he would never come back to read your responses. Which kind of makes them... useless though you could be showing everybody else that is still here that you cared or not that he was leaving.

Either way, he'll probably come back since he has done so before; he has a TFF addiction and sometimes the withdrawals are too much to handle. Just like cookie monster with COOKIES!!!!! NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!!!!!!

I'd like to take a moment to make something clear. Yes, Phantom has been banned again. He was banned several months ago (in May) for flaming and harassing other members. We let him return on the condition that he stick to the Trivia threads he enjoyed and kept out of forum debates since that's what got him into trouble in the first place. A few months passed, and he conveniently forgot our agreement and started creating threads and posting in General Chat. We let it slide, because he seemed to be trying to keep a low profile. But this recent outburst violates our terms and when a discussion was had, he got very defensive. I have talked about him with the staff, and we feel we have been very generous with him. He denies that it was his fault he was banned, denies ever trolling, flaming, or harassing other members, and insists that we are playing favorites.

He declared that he was leaving and that we could ban him if we wanted because he had no intention or desire to stick by our agreement. I did so.

I wanted to make that clear to all of you before the questions started flooding in. Perhaps I owe it to him to keep all of this private, but with everything he's said to and about the staff, I'm afraid I consider the conditions of his ban fair game for public knowledge. You are free to disagree, but his ban sticks this time.

And with that said, thread closed.
