Who can blame you? Termina is a beautiful place, filled with sunshine and rainbows and zombies and racism and a really whiny scarecrow who's hobbies include attempting to cause the apocalypse.

i doubt it will really matter, but i am taking a break. i don't know for how long: days, weeks, whatever.

i don't feel like i fit the new attitude that is becoming more and more prevalent here at NL. i love this site, but it's just not as nice as it used to be. intolerance for views different than the majority are not welcome and are greeted with open derision and contempt.

i will read now and again because i value the opinions of the reviews etc, but will do my best to refrain from posting. the last couple of months of the year are very difficult for me due to personal reasons and i fear i will just add to the flames rather than know when to pull back.

best to all.

edit: changed my mind (female trait, eh? lol). please delete my account. i am outta here.

I don't think people were being intolerant of your view (except maybe a view noobs), they just didn't get where you were coming from. I hope you don't really leave for good. That would be a shame.

I foresee what you'll do there.

Good luck finding a place that's not like that on the internet. You'll need it. Lots of it.

Really, I left once before for that same reason. I came back because I found that the issues I found here were miniscule compared to other places. But if you find such a place, be sure to let us know, k?

See you k8sMum. While I'm nowhere near the point of leaving, I can see where you're coming from.

Like WhiteKnight said in his leaving comment, I think it has to do with the departure of James as editor. Ever since he left, there seems to be more articles than ever that stoke the fanboy flames of traditional portables vs smartphones (such as shots at Mega Man Xover on almost any article Capcom related), which bring out the louder fanboys.

BTW, I'm not saying MMXover is a good game, but I don't see the point in bringing it up in non-Mega Man articles.

Speaking of jnewts, anyone know why he stopped using his Twitter suddenly a month ago? I don't have a Twitter, but would occasionally stop by to see what he was up to. Not to go off topic, but idk where else to ask. I'm assuming he got too busy or NOE wanted him to stop using it or something.

@RR529 I miss James. And your right about a slight attitude change occurring since he left as editor, but it hasn't gone to far for me quit yet.

@k8sMum Goodbye if you do decide to go for good, but I hope not.

I'd assume the former as well. But yeah, hope he tweets again soon.

@k8sMum: It's a shame to see you go; i enjoyed having someone around who felt the same way I do about certain things. Please do let us know if you'd like to return

@Radixxs, Oddy: so far as I know, he stopped using his Twitter account because he was afraid he'd slip and say something he shouldn't on accident; i believe he's also toned back his use of other social media sites as well for that very reason. He doesn't want to accidentally compromise his job, and I can't blame him, even though I wish it were otherwise.

@TheDreamingHawk: iirc, 'moderators' were what set him off the last time he took a break from NL. Please don't poke him about it.

Well, I just say that moderators on other sites can be incredibly lenient, sometimes to the point of near-nonexistance. I won't say more, since I don't think I could without ranting.

Thanks for the update. It's ok, though: James still tweets in my heart.

Everyone still misses James. But you can always stare at his website in vain, hoping there is something.

Really hard to take anyone leaving seriously since everyone just comes back within the next week. >.>
Apparently some just want to see how much they'd be missed.
