Yes, this good bye is permanent this time. I am leaving Forum Promotion, because really, it's just been too much... too many members acting immature, staff going on as a "do as I say, not as I do" basis. It's all getting really old really fast, and I have seriously had enough of it. Yes, I do understand that this is a big member base, but it seems we have too many people who don't know how to act their ages. So, so long, and good luck to everyone with their future endeavors. Personally, with the way things are going downhill here, I wouldn't be surprised if I got banned, and I personally don't care if I do or not. Yes, I know all sites go through a phase where everyone acts downright rowdy, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. I would like to say some personal farewells, though:

MissTake: You were and are an awesome moderator. You've always given me excellent advice and you know how to keep your head screwed on straight in a crises. There aren't too many staffers out there that are good at this. But you do an awesome job of taking each situation one step at a time. I swear, on a big forum like this, I wouldn't be able to keep my cool for half a second; I'd be performing an action without thinking about what I was doing, and usually it would most likely be something I'd later regret.

Fowler: Man, words can never express how grateful I am for all the help you've given me during the last three years. I've always enjoyed visiting with you via PM after asking a question or reporting a problem. Really, pal, you were just an overall great guy to be around, and I enjoyed our PM convos. I may have had a bad habit of opening and closing forums, but no matter how pissed I got with all the negative responses, you were always supportive throughout the whole ordeal, and I thank you for that. When I was in my open/shut stage, you were always there to help out, cheer me on despite my many spills, and you always gave awesome advice. I don't think there's any other admin out there that would have been half as patient with me as you are. If this, or any other forum, were more strict, I'd probably be banned for my problem faster than a person can blink! So really, I sincerly thank you for all the help you've given me all that time, and for being patient with me when any other admin would've just given me the boot for doing my habit.

Snobo: Another awesome moderator. You were also fun to chat with on PMs when I reported a problem or commented on a post that was already locked. I forgot to mention that I will reregister on Lifeless eventually, as I loved your forum the first time around and I'll happily be a member there once again.

Fergal: Another really good administrator right here! Always patient, never got sore at me for making the stupidest decisions ever, you were always there for me every step of the way.

Finally, I'm sure all of you know the url to my forum right now, and you are all cordially invited to join. I removed my sig, but if you hunt down my promotion topic, the url is in that.

So long for the final time and good luck to everyone in their future endeavors.
 
This really sucks! I will sure miss your presence on FP!

But wouldn't be surprised if you return one day.
 
Bye Ashley, it's sad to see you go, I'll check in at Chatting Time some time.

Btw: Am I one of the people you class as immature?
 
Sorry to hear you leave. I hope there will be another chance where everyone on this forum will be together like friends again. Anyways, bye Ashley. I'll also be on Chatting Time to maybe see you or talk to you but I wish you the best of luck.
 
Sorry to hear you are leaving us. If there are any users/staff in particular you feel are not benefiting the community by being rude, immature or causing problems then feel free to PM an admin. That does go for anyone that encounters any users they feel are problematic.

Sometimes it is helpful for us when a user points us in the right direction as we don't read and see everything that goes on here. We can only deal with problems and behavior on this forum though and we can not take action against users based on what they do off this site.

Thanks for the kind words though... Always nice to read to some appreciation 🙂
 
Goodbye Ashley, I really will miss seeing you on here. Your posts are always interesting to read and quite informing. I hope you will change your mind and stay here, but if that's not happening, see you around. I will be sure to pop on to Chatting Time every once in awhile. It's sad to see you leave here; I'll miss you. :sad:
 
Bye Ashley. I remember you quite distinctly as a friendly guy - good luck in life, etc.
 
Ashley you were a great member here and I'm very sorry to see you leave. I second what Fowler said about letting us know about particular complaints you have.

Good luck with everything and if you ever decide to change your mind, I for one would be only too delighted to see you back here.
 
Good bye. Sorry to see you leave! But always feel free to come and chat with us if you feel the need to. I am always willing to be open and willing to chat!
 
Sorry to see you leave Ashley, and I'm sorry you've been disappointed with the forum recently. There's obviously nothing I can say to make you come back but we're always here should you want to. All the best.
 
It's sad to see you leave, Ashley.

Although we never really had time to get to know eachother, I did enjoy reading your replies to threads and hearing of your very interesting views on things.

I know I can speak for the whole forum when I say this, you are a great loss to Forum Promotion but no doubt I will see you around other forums you visit in the future.

So long 🙂
 
You should have people work for your FP cash before u go. 🙂

Also selling permanent signature links would help me. Sell me some for FP cash. Since ur leaving anyway. Just a thought.

Nice post here sorry to see you leave.
 
I'm really sorry to see you go, Ashley. 🙁 If any particular members are troublesome to you, then feel free to send me a PM so that I can look into it. Maybe we can even come up with a solution that will allow you to stay on FP.

However, if you feel that you must go, then I respect your decision as well. 🙁 I hope to see you around other forums!

Ummmm, Welcome back? :shrug:

Many have attempted this, many have failed. Given your track record, I wouldn't be surprised to see you back in a few weeks. Take a break from the forum, don't be so obsessed over it on a daily basis. I've removed myself from the spotlight of being involved in every discussion everywhere, and only a handful probably remember me, and I prefer it that way.

You spend too much time on this site, and yes, you will eventually get burnt out while pointing out all of it's flaws rather than it's good points that have kept you here for so long. Which then will bottle up over time and cause you to overreact in a way that you just did. A few days/weeks later, you'll come back with the same, "oh, i was just in a bad mood, I'm serious this time and never giving up."

Just take a break, Ashley. It'll be good for ya. We'll see ya soon. 😉

I remember ya, bud 😉

Anyways, I find it really sad that you are leaving, Ashley. I really enjoy reading your replies, and your unique spin on things, whereas I wouldn't have thought of it. After being around here as long as I have, I suggest that you really try and look past things that are bad, and just think about the good. You don't have to be obsessed with the site like I am, either. Take a breather, but I really hope to see you back soon 😉
