WARNING: don't read the whole thing, i recognize how ridiculously and pointlessly long this is. just press control + F and type in your name if you want to save yourself some time

To start off, I wanted to leave the heart-felt shit for OOC like a lot of you guys, because frankly my favorite part about the XHF has been talking with all of you guys OOC, and getting to know you all.

This is gonna look like a clusterfuck, so I apologize in advance for organizing my "so called" goodbyes (at least here) so poorly. But it woulda been a lot longer if I actually didn't jam it all together.

JL, Erez, Jack, Steve, Carlos, Cosmo (miss talking to you man), AJ (i miss talking to you dude, hit me up on AIM sometime; same screen name), Randy (you're a funny little mother fucker man, and i seriously don't think this place would have lasted as long as it did without you always being around to throw in a little touch of (homo)sexuality; it was always fun talking to you man), Ian, Dust, Frank, DT, Graff, K-Hard (i still wish we could have done a real feud at one point man, and you're a cool guy. oh, and i was the one who ruined Kurt Angle's surprise TNA signing for you the night it happened--- i wasn't sure if Jack had told you yet, but we thought about it and eventually i just made a fake screen name, did it, and spent about fourty-five minutes laughing my ass off at how upset you were over it. i am sorry though, i just figured you should know that, although come to think about it i think we might've already had this conversation), Steve Awesome (you're another great guy man, some day if we end up in another fed together we need to feud), Baz (i still dont think there was ever any difference between you and your character Snake, because you both are crafty evil men but I still love ya), Robby (i'm glad you did that counter-jerk report, even if ian was pissed off about it, because it was fucking FUNNY), Doc, Rat Bastard, Harry, NMM, Mr. Spike Kane, Punker, Joe Everyman (sorry for not being much of a friend to you many-a-time man, but we did have some fun playing halo and you always ended up pissing Erez off with the rocket launcher, which was hilarious to watch), Hoppy (Mark Evil eats bunnies), Ace (dude I still have you blocked, and if you see this then I want you to know that you're a good person and a clever guy, but I just have such a polar opposite personality so it's better if we don't talk bro), (JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! HOW MANY MORE OF YOU CAN I POSSIBLY THINK OF?!?!?!?!?!?), the list goes on and on and on.

i always felt lucky here because after about a year of being in the XHF, random people that were either new or who just didn't know, would IM me, and talk to me, and get to know me, and allow me to get to know them. I was never good at approaching other people i didn't know, so you guys made it a lot easier for me. you all also made it a lot easier for me to keep RPing here for so long. if i had joined this place, and just RP'd without getting to know the real FAMILY that put everything together behind the scenes, i woulda dropped out of here before October had ended in 2004 and I wouldn't have given a shit at all. that wasn't the case though.

erez, you're pretty much my best friend around here. it's funny, i doubt anybody else here will ever really "get" how after all the fighting and bickering, we could still be friends. i mean, if you don't feel embarrassed about what little douchebags we acted like in the past, i'll just go ahead and feel embarrassed for the both of us. but i'm also proud to call you my friend. because even though we've had so many stupid conversations and stupid arguments, they've all made my life a hell of a lot more fun and interesting than it would've been without them. :)

jack, i'm going to miss the drunken AIM convos we had. those were always a riot, and it feels so sad to say this, but rarely have i had more fun in my life, than when i'd smoke a bowl, or just come online drunk, to chat with all of you guys. i can't remember a single chat that i was in that didn't have me laughing my ass off afterwards.

i want to thank spike for all the kind words, and for always being a kind, polite, and generally cool guy. yes, i was a big dick to you for a long time, but that doesn't just erase all the hours we've spent talking online before. i'll always be honored by the fact that you referred to me as a mentor in the XHF, because as far as i'm concerned you were a top-tier RP'r before we even met.

carlos, I'm pretty sure The Dark Knight is going to be the greatest comic book film ever created, and when ever I think back to the viral marketing for that, I'm going to remember our chats about how sweet Heath's Joker was going to be. I consider you to be the very best that the roleplaying community has to offer, because your roleplays have always felt more real than anything else I've read or wrote. It was fun facing you on the very few rare occasions that we could, and amongst others like Venom, GD, Dave Holland, and Kanyon, you brought out the best in my stuff, I feel.

i've also had a lot of guys who helped/mentored me around here, and i know i named most of the people that i can remember already, but mongo, steve, and on the rare occasions that we'd speak, DT, were three guys that I can say always gave me great advice and never steered me in the wrong direction. i want to thank you guys for that, and I want to thank Ish too- you gave me advice in the short time that i admined here, and basically taking everything that i could gather from you, mongo, steve, game, and everyone else, was the only reason that i feel i did a somewhat decent job, at least a small portion of the time.

i also want to thank harry, for jobbing to me, all the time, when i was xhf champ. no, but really, i've been here for almost four years... and some how, every time i'd open a harry RP or a Dirty Deal RP, i'd always be SO shocked at how fucking hard i'd be laughing moments after reading. shows how quick of a learner i can be sometimes, because randy and harry have done some of the funniest shit i've ever read, and i can't tell you guys that enough. you just say the most fucked up shit sometimes dude, and it reminds me a lot of my own twisted sense of humor so i'm going to always love that about you.

doc, my stoner buddy, i'm still going to talk to you whenever i see you online man, so i don't even know what to say now. getting stoned and talking to you was always a pleasant way to spend my time, and i don't regret any of it because every conversation we've ever had has been fucking awesome.

ian, dust, and frank are who i pretty much consider to be the three guys that i knew best through chats and through the fun we had with NWS. i love all you guys, and i love all the stupid, pointless shit we talked about in the xhf chats because they made my weeknights tolerable. i love all of the NWS RP's that we collaborated on, i loved the ones we didn't collaborate on, and i loved all the funny fucked up shit we did in said RPs. that was the best way for me to channel all my anger at some points, because i'd just think of the most brutal shit possible, and then make it happen to terry bradshaw. I know all of you, especially frank, got huge kicks out of everything we did, just as much as i did. that means a lot, because i personally think those RP's should be taped together and published into a real fucking book. preferably a children's book.

i don't want to diminish any of the great moments i shared with anyone i left out, but like i said, i love all you guys, and i'm really going to miss this. thank all of you for everything you ever did to play a part here in the XHF. because in doing that, you played a big part in my life, all of you played some role in me being the person i am today (don't feel bad, really!!!). i've already said this i think, but i've learned a lot from you. this has been so much fun, you guys.
