Hello.
I hope that isnt to personal, but why do you want to leave the blind comunity?
Greetings Moritz.

Hello,
@ghost rider: I say this as someone who definitely respects your decision. I don't think that it's fair that you have been criticized for it, and I don't get why so many people get so up in arms when people leave, what's wrong with simply wishing the eprson good luck or even saying thank you for the contributions that they made? Because of this, I say this now, I've enjoyed reading your posts over the years and it has been fun discussing things with you, and I wish you the best of luck in the future.

@Ghost Rider I support your decision; I can't believe you're getting criticized for leaving the community, you can do what you want. I'm sure the people calling you "arrogant" have little or no idea of what that word actually means; If they did they wouldn't say that. But, well, goodbye. Also, on a bit of a harsh note, I'd rather you not come on if you do intend to be a huge A Hole, however I'd always welcome you here.

Well I'll just say good bye and good luck, and for my part if you ever fancy taking up games again or returning to this forum in the future, you'd be most welcome.

On a purely practical level however I will say it bothers me if people have been behaving so badly on this forum, sinse that means myself and the other mods haven't been doing hour job. "The blind community!" at large frankly I don't give a monkeys about, (indeed I have my own reservations about such), however this forum and the audiogames.net community is! my concern, so I hope nobody on this forum has done anything personal and if so I'd rather know about it to deal with it irrispective of whether you wish to leave or not.

Btw, sinse as per the last three weeks I now have found my someone (who happens to be blind, a fact which surprised both of us), I do hate the thought of insults being levelled at a member's significant other.

I have nothing to say, but goodbye... we're always glad to have you back if you want to return later.

Thank you everyone for being so understanding. Dark, one of the people who partook in saying those things to me is indeed on this forum. As I see it, he's become something of an icon in the development community as of late, collaborating with Ultrocity audio. Other people who are not in the audiogames community have partook in saying things to me too. I received a skype message from someone that read, "Did you buy an engagement ring for your idiot girlfriend Erowyn?" For one, that isn't mature or kind in any circumstance whatsoever. Secondly, I am very defensive of her. I'm keeping my status as her hero because in many ways she's saved me. What I never could quite figure out is why can't they give me a good luck wish, a pat on the back and well wishes? Nope, they have to ridicule me, call me names, and take shots at my baby girl.

I'll never understand why people can't just accept it for what it is. I have a feeling it might be extreme jealousy, but that is still no excuse for them to make fun of you, or her, because of it. It's immature, it's offensive, and it's, wrong. If only people would just accept it for what it is, congratulate you, at a minimum say somethin like oh, that's cool, you know.

@Nocturnus, despite the fact that I hold administrator status on this forum, and obviously spend a significant amount of time on here, I still get that feeling of disconnection myself. This Especially happens with issues like this one Ghostrider describes sinse they tend to occur as he said among a small subgroup of people over skype and on other places and then bleed onto the forum.
This sense of being external to things does actually help as a moderator.

@Ghostrider, Steve is correct here. Trolls say anything to get on your whick, no different to some immature kid in the playground saying "your mum has a big bottom" or something similarly infantile, such things just show the intelligence (or rather distinct lack there of), of the people involved.

One question however. If this insulting business did not occur on the forum, why are you leaving the forum? I can assure you such insults if they occurred here would definitely not be aloud and you could report them, whether by pm or by post, so even if the person who said such is still here, she/he couldn't do such again. Also, there are manifestly a couple of hundred regular posters here, so this forum isn't just the domain of said moron.

As I said previously, leave if you wish and feel free to do so, just make sure your doing so for the right reasons and with the right information, sinse disturbing your life and getting you to stop frequenting places on the internet is exactly what those sorts of trolls want.

Hi Ghost Writer,

Just wanted to say that the decision is yours, but we are here to help you in any way we can. I don't get it why some people have to crush their noses into others personal stuff. Maybe they haven't smelt anything for a long time and the erge to smell is too strong! Honestly, insulting people is not the way to go about this. Don't let those sorts of people push you over the edge. I encourage you to stay, but whatever happenns, we'll always be there for you as a united front, for you are one of us. Your conntributions have been valuable to this community and we shall remember them.

Really? Falling in love with someone online is immature?
Tell that to the companies who rake in boatloads of cash with online dating services...

Basically, every troll will troll. It goes around a lot on the internet. People take advantage of the fact there isn't emotion behind text, but being hit with that is even worse because it's always gonna be there, what they said, and a lot of people us it as an excuse to attack people. Relationships mean nothing but jealousy for everyone who gets drunk on jealousy, which is a lot of people, especially online. That is no excuse to be a jerk to Ghostrider or anyone about it.
