BF2S Forums Goodbye thread

kind of sad to see it go, but I haven't posted on here since a llllllooooong time ago... five years or so, but I occasionally lurk.

I went through some major medical problems mid 2000s, I couldn't walk and was on all sorts of meds; playing BF2 high as a kite on painkillers, or if I wasn't playing BF2, lurking, sometimes posting, usually enjoying the banter here.   BF2 was a big part of my ample, medical-leave free time and so was BF2s.  It distracted from the pain and gave me a little fun in an otherwise really crappy time in my life.  In fact, despite BFBC2 also dwindling out,  I still rock my BF2s "clan" tag (from a few weeks ago):

So, farewell BF2s, thanks Chuy and all the mods and people for a lot of time I spent (not wasted) soaking in the weirdness of all you strange people that loved the same game I loved.

EDIT:  Turns out i've long forgotten how to properly post a picture on here.

And for funsies, here's some of my other stuff im posting:

and hey, sergeriver, Alice In Chains is still pretty awesome.   Not nearly as much, but not bad either.

Can't we just have a goodbye thread where we all hug and say we will miss each other?

I'll miss you seeing as we are 1-0 with 4 to play

Homosexuality would probably make a lot more people happy if they gave it a try.

Hipster rage, I'd like to see that.

9 days to go, been fun guys.

Yeha open the mod forum

Given this is likely my final chance to write something I feel I should do an official farewell of sorts.

Um, see you guys. I guess. Probably will see some of you around the Internet. Facebook page, Steam, whatever. Maybe in real life, who knows. If you come across a comment page where someone going by the name of Peter or Simon has written an ungodly amount of drivel about some mundane topic related to Australian or New Zealand politics chances are that's me so feel free to say hi.

It's been quite a journey. I was 18 when I signed up here. I was still at school. I looked like this:



Nearly ten years later a lot has changed but for some unknown reason I'm still here - albeit older, uglier, and more tired and cynical. And with less greasy hair.

I've never had to say goodbye to a forum before and I have no idea how to do it so I'll just say that I don't know why this place is special and I don't know why it's kept ticking on for so long. But for whatever reason here we are so thank you everyone for being part of it. I don't think it's easy to determine exactly what this forum has meant to me personally and maybe it will take it not being around in the same way for me to work it out. It was a big part of my life for a couple of years, less so now, but it was still there and it's going to be strange not coming here to vent whatever frustration or attempt whatever dumb stab at being funny or clever and have a patient audience that won't hesitate to placate or feed  my ego. Or call me a fuckwit - whatever is most appropriate.

I'll miss it. And I'll miss everyone here too regardless of whether I had reason to think you were a twat at one stage or another and regardless of whether I run into you at some other time in some other place - which I hope I do. This place was made by the combination of compatible and incompatible people that frequented it so while I hope to keep in touch with many individuals as possible it will be sad to see this bizarre maelstrom of personalities be dissolved. At least it'll still remain as a lasting legacy to whatever the Hell it was we did here.

So again; thank you everyone. For the fun, for the frustrations, for the laughs, for the teasing, for hearing me out, for arguing against me, for the abuse, for the idiotic things you've said, for the interesting things you've highlighted, for the awesome things you've made me aware of, and for everything else that has in one way or another influenced my life in some small way over the last ten years.

All the best for the future.

Noho ora mai,

P.S:  I'll let you know how the NZ flag thing turns out.

Holy shit, you look like me!

I'd actually contribute cash to keep this place alive.  You all hold a special place for whatever we I'd reason and it's strange knowing that sp many relationships will cut short and dead in its tracks, with people potentially never talking to one another again. Find me on reddit or Facebook or steam.
