Farewell (an "I'm Leaving Forever" thread)

[Imran Siddiqui]

So the losers go to WPC while the cool kids go to CG. Vel's going to the wrong forum.

Depends on your perspective of Vel, doesn't it?

[chequita guevara]

I like Vel. He was always fair to me.

[Aeson]

See ya around Vel. The Civ III strat threads you started were the reason I joined poly. Good times.

Can we delete the Candle'bre forums now

Easier to Tuberski the whole site, eh?

[Velociryx]

Thanks all...taking a break from archiving and wanted to stick my head back in this thread for a moment.

I appreciate the well wishes and will miss...well, a great many of you, to be sure.

I was going to say almost the exact same thing. Based on at least some opinions here, I'd say I'm headed to the exactly "right" place (since Hell isn't an option that our current Masters would approve of), but Che, I appreciate it, and the feeling's mutual.

Aeson, Arrian...good times indeed. I hope you guys will carry on the good work of dissecting the next iteration of Civ that comes out!

to help battle the inertia of an existing site to coax the changes needed for its long term health.

Can you elaborate on this, Vel?

What do you see as the things about Poly that are too hard to change, other than what you've already explained re hostile tone?

Probably not without getting banned, no. (tho PM me if you'd like to hear more outside the bounds of this thread)

Ok.

[Jon Miller]

I, Lori, and Cybershy are nothing if not harsh.

If things don't go well over at WPC then you're always welcome back.

No he's not. **** off and don't come back!

You and your buddies are instrumental in trying to destabilise poly because you are morally incapable of making the distinction that a person who has been almost universally pilloried on this site for his premeditated campaign of deleting posts and making death threats should be punished and not rewarded with his own website.

Sure Asher can be annoying, but that doesn't in any way mean that Dale's actions should be 'understood' - the guy totally overreacted BIG TIME and should count himself lucky that he was treated very leniently on poly for his egregious offence.

You are a moral hypocrite.

I only did that the once

Well, after I made the mistake of thinking tuberski meant getting hte whole forum.

Though it's not really that hard, a dead forum isn't difficult to fit into a tuberski.

You might have an inkling that it exactly this sort of message that has a lot of established posters looking for the doors, or maybe you don't.

I hope the new admins do.

[DaShi]

Bye Vel, I'm one of the posters who don't care much about the extra content here, so I don't know you that well. But good luck on your new venture.

So, you're nothing then.

[Guynemer]

Honestly, it is a shame. Vel is a good guy, and has done some great work regarding strategy. I'm sure, eventually, he'll be back.
