I'm out (well at least for a little while)

***Sicilian30*** · 01-01-2003, 05:33 PM

Well bro’s I never thought I would be saying this , but I think I will be moving along.
Kinda hard to explain, but I am not sure if AR has outgrown me, or I it. I was a member here since AR started, and for a few months now with all the new members, just I now feel out of place.
To be honest, I miss the good ole AR days; it was more like family. Everyone was close nit and there were some really good brothers here. Mike, Dane, and a few other’s we don’t’ see anymore.
I know AR has grown twice what it was when I first joined, but I think (no offense to some of the loyal members) it has lost that “family” type of attitude.
Don’t get me wrong there are still some really good bro’s here, Cycleon, Jason, Pappa Pump among others.
With the flood of new members, and with the things going down with BK, I think it is about time for me to step out.
I hope I don’t offend anyone, but maybe I just expected more and I am spoiled to the beginning days of AR.
I have found another board, which gives me that feel AR once had. I think I am going to hang around there for a while, although AR will always be my home. I am also a member on a few other boards, but always came back to AR cause of the “family” type of atmosphere. I will still be around here and there, answering PM’s, and such, but I don’t’ think I am going to be posting as much as I normally do.
Take care bro’s, and I will check in from time to time..

Would you rather the board be just like the bb.com forum?

You know, where everyoon is the second biggest in their school with the first being the 400lb fat kid. Kind of a coincidence don't you think, considering half of them have topics asking what skull crushers and deadlifts are.

But i can relate, the time spent on AR dosent increase.

Later.

Sicilian30 I really hate to see you leave. I've been feeling the same way until the last couple days. I considered leaving many time in the past few months but I'm glad I stayed now. Trust me bro this is just a phase and it will pass. If this is really it I wish you luck bro. It really makes me sad too see any of the old bro's leaving. Maybe just a little break?

Happy trails silican. Sorry to see you go. You are one of the hand full of guys on this board who actually knows what there talking about.

Sicilian...I know you're not going for good as breaks are always needed. I'm glad I can still find your knowledge over at your new home or here in the archieves

Thanks guys for the support, I hope it is just a phase or a break I need. It really saddens me that I feel like I have to leave, or look elsewere for that feeling that AR once had.
I don't know, I guess I just miss the good ole days of AR.
To all the friends I have made here, thanks, to to the folks that think I am a no good SOB, well now you can rejoice.. LOL.
I will be checking in from time to time, checking PM's and posting a few threads, like the one I have been wanting to post for a while now. Afterall like I said AR will always be my home...
Hope you guys have a great New Year.

Wow, CB, that's one hot avatar there! And so long, Sicilian! Hope we do see you around some time!

I know how you feel. I spent some time away from the board this year (for other reasons) and I came back excited to contribute again. I hope you decide to return. You're one of those good bro's that you referred to.
