Title: What if I said 'farewell' and nobody cared?
Post by: vmx42 on March 19, 2009, 04:34:44 pm: Hey guys,
I was just wondering what would happen if I said 'farewell' and nobody cared.

After all the outpourings of love and affection to my fellow VMXers who have left the building in the last few weeks I thought I might try to "get me some lovin' too"!!!!

I've had a bad day. I know you can make me feel better, I will read all your inspirational posts after I finish watching Oprah and Dr Phil.

Come on guys don't hold back, tell me that you really don't want me to leave.
Yours in anticipation
VMX42 ;) :D ;)

P.S. I know that Ken Smith was also thinking of leaving, but he too wasn't sure if you would care. ??? ??? ???

Post by: GMC on March 19, 2009, 09:21:36 pm: Jeezus Graeme, aren’t you surveying these posts. You need to lock this one down NOW, before any more of those Old Zealanders learn that we’re really just a bunch of new age guys with feelings
Title: Re: What if I said 'farewell' and nobody cared?
Post by: Graeme M on March 19, 2009, 09:54:43 pm: Hey, that's just envy talking. Those poor old NZers just wish they were sensitive new age guys like us Aussie VMXers. Not only are we rufty tufty blokes who hammer round bumpy tracks on noisy mechanical steeds but we can also indulge in group hugs, get in touch with our sensitive sides and impress the girls with our warmth and caring ways.

I think...

Post by: Ji Gantor on March 20, 2009, 10:03:54 am: From my experiences every one that leaves this forum is missed and by people you did not even know existed.

The Doc did not say a word about his departure but there are members looking to find out how he is.
Eno left and he is sorely missed by those that shared his love of CZs and NZs.

And that's the way it should be, come and go as you please; read or discard as you please; contribute or suck dry as you see fit - the world's greatest democracy.

'Slamming the door behind you' says more about the door slammer than it does about the door or the door frame.

People come and go, its the way of life. Too much shouldn't be read into it one way or the other. Our life positions change from time to time. Our attitudes change from time to time. And what people say is not always what people mean.

Viva la difference. Live and let live. So let it rip. Say what you want to say the way you want to say it. Just remember you have a reputation to protect and someday that person you piss off here you'll met down the pub, at a race meeting or on the track ;) ;D.

the whole grand exit thing has gotten out of hand.

Post by: TooFastTim on March 20, 2009, 01:44:50 pm: Personally I intend to stay here until you've all left. Then I'll declare these forums a socialist paradise and discuss nothing but Spanish bikes (with myself). It's part of a cunning plan. Aluta continua!

If you didn't watch crap on TV you would have my time for crap on the net ;D.

Straighten up there, fly straight and get your priorities in order :D.

Post by: Wombat on March 22, 2009, 03:38:51 am: Re: What if I said 'farewell' and nobody cared? There's some interesting comments so far...

Well, If I were to leave entirely I imagine I'd PM Graeme to say "thanks but I'm leaving".
I don't imagine I'd broadcast it on the Forum and the 'caring' bit seems irrelevant.

But I don't think I'd leave entirely; where's the benefit and what's the point?
If someone here gave me the sh1ts it wouldn't stop me liking old dirt bikes.
I'll still need handy tips and info.
I might want to ask a question six months down the track...
And I love the photos - particularly the old back in the day stuff.
How many Members on here? To me a few clashes means nothing in the big picture.
I clash daily at work but I haven't quit there either.

I was hoping to contact one bloke (by PM) who left recently but that's not possible as his name no longer appears.
I can't click on it to allow a PM.
Same goes for his previous posts.

This same bloke posted something a while back and now I'm trying to find it.
I can't think what thread it was in or what the topic was called.
However, I remember WHO posted it.
In cases like that I can click on the Members name and scroll through all his posts until I find it.
But not anymore...
Yeah I know about the 'search' function but for some reason that doesn't always yield results.

I'm not snakey on anyone who's left. We all respond differently.
Seriously, no tone intended in all this, I respect their decision - but hope they'll return.
Anyhoos, I'm just raising some points on a really good Forum coz I can't sleep and it's 0230hrs Sunday morning (despite what the dodgy Forum clock says...).

And being a Member here means I can! ;) :D ;D

That is exactly the way I look at it too, Wombat .

Can I give positive feedback on your posting? Outstanding value, lightning fast and extremely well packaged ;D

I think what this site needs to boost it is the same as any popular TV soap thats falling in the ratings....
