    Yeah, haha, who'd have thought, right? I mean really now, a farewell thread from Zephyr? Surely I'm joking. Surely I'm just playing a prank on the lot of you. Surely I'm just going on a vacation and figured I'd let some people know.

    Honestly I don't even know why I'm rambling on about what could be when, and let's face it, half the people who read this thread won't have a clue who I even am, which is a little... bittersweet I think is a good word.

    But regardless, I am, unfortunately, quite serious.


    Honestly, I don't even know what happened to distance me from the site. Walk back a month ago and I was as active as ever, possibly even more; had two shows, hung out in the chat daily, posted when I could.
    But now? Now it's just weird. General discussion is just a plethora of repeated threads to me. The GCT is more or less a mix of hellos and goodbyes. The announcement section is as it ever was or ever will be, and RPs have long since lost their allure to me.



    I'm rambling again.
    But honestly, I think I sort of deserve the right. I've been here since May of 2011, part of the staff since October 2011, and took on heavier responsibilities in keeping the site afloat in both April and later in the following October.
    That's two years. Two years of my life I've devoted to this site, and now here I am typing out my farewell thread.

    But enough theatrics from me, I suppose I'll end this on a more positive, informative note and take Foxy's lead.

    I'm going to be opening an Ask thread immediately after posting this thread, and I will be answering any, and every question for the entirety of the week. You can ask me literally anything you wish, rules abiding of course, and I will do my best to answer them to the best of my abilities.


    Afterwards I will not be around on the site again, and if I am it will only be incredibly scarcely for personal matters.
    For those of you who know me and wish to remain in contact, my skype handle is Otirrob, and you can find me on tumblr here.
    For those who don't know me, you must be so goddamn confused at everything I've just said.


    Edit: Here is the thread

    I don't think I ever did add you on Skype. Don't know why.
    Not sure if we'll ever talk, but you aren't getting away from me that easily.

    I never really post much in this section, nor do I think you had a modest opinion for me, but you kept the forum together during some dark times and for that, I salute thee.

    My opinion of you is actually entirely neutral; we've never really interacted all that much.

    Well, ****.

    This sucks on so many levels I can't even describe.

    I'll be the oldest guy here before long.

    I luv you twin, even if you've broken my heart. <3

    Argh, this SUCKS!

    I haven't been around for all that long, and we haven't interacted much, but this does feel bittersweet. I bid you farewell, sir. And good luck to you.

    ... It might be. I actually thought it was from Hot Fuzz at first, but now that you're saying it, I'm not really sure.
    I don't watch Sherlock, so.

    Looks like we need to call in the experts.
    Where's Poetic when you need him?

    I don't like farewell threads, they make me sad.
    but you were super nice to me so I'll post in yours.
    Take care Zephyr

    Let's set the mood.

    I don't have much to say. It was a bit of a blow to see this, right in the gut. But it's not all that surprising, when I think about it. If you're still around on Skype, I'll catch you there. You did a lot for this site and its members and you'll always be one of the greats. Catch you around, Zephski.

    Well, I can't say I saw this one coming.

    I never really did get to know you over the years, I regret that now that you're leaving.

    Good luck to you!

    Wow man, sad to see you go, even if you and I had little to no interaction.

    Couldn't find anything with a salute, so I drew you something.

    It's been an honour working with you, and I am sad to see you leave. But... all good things come to an end sooner or later, eh?
    Thank you for everything you've done... Take care of yourself, and keep being awesome!

    PS: Expect some Skype messages from me in the future! :derpe:
