So i guess everyone is leaving..?

I'm sitting and I'm waiting.

In the mean time.... read my sig.

Not everyone will leave unless the site itself is closed and even then you may meet them at other sites

I wondered myself reading journals who was going but in the end I guess its like anything, people come and go all the time, some return, some dont.
It might sound like I dont care but who is or isnt here doesnt affect my life and its in my actions I show who I am.
This here is where I truly began to see things differently and will always have a place in my soul. But, jediism is more than just here. No matter how much I respect and love this place.

I'm still here.

I understand there are a lot of issues, but I have found that the best thing you can do in a relationship is talk things out. People are imperfect, we all make mistakes, but as long as there is a willingness to make things right, and an overall sense of empathy for one another, we can work things out.

I'm here. If you, yes you reading this, ever feel the need to talk to someone, my PM is available.

I'm pleased to say we are in good talks currently and with spirits of compromise and camaraderie. We will have more soon.

Staying, I've been here since 2008 and events like this occasionally happen in online communities. I'm here for personal growth and community, until that ends I will happily stay.

I'll go wherever there are good lessons and good friends. At present that is here. Who knows what the future holds though?

We each have our own path to walk, these sites are just stopping points to rest our heads and meet other travellers. Sooner or later, we all have to get back on the road, and head out in search of new adventures

I'll still be kicking around here... but for the foreseeable future gonna be taking a step back. The issues that have been so divisive have been... distracting from my training and unbecoming of Jedi.

I'll still be answering PM's if anyone needs me, but prolly gonna be a a lot less active in the forums. I've allowed the "drama" of this place to distract me from my Path. I need to get back to my growth.

But fear not, I'm not leaving this place. It's given me too much for me to abandon it.

Remember, this is a site. The Path happens beyond.

As far as it goes, I'll still be pottering around, fiddling with the IP and general what-not.



That said, I am not above drama, and I am loyal to whoever brings me the best entertainment :laugh:

OB1. The amount of layers of value this message has is difficult to count. I'm sure I'm not alone in confirming that in many a way you expressed what many of us were thinking: The true meaning of this place as a platform, a breeding ground for relationships, mostly, and at times ideas, too. I predict that in five years time we will remember these days and this thread that came out of all that, as yet another milestone of TOTJO history, another waypoint of the TOTJO path.
For all the heat so readily to spark between the two of us aside, my hats off for thee tonight, and perhaps a polite bow, too. Thank you.

Jeez, Gist, usually when you make people cry its because youve forever demolished the irrational assumptions upon which their entire worldview was predicated. But here i am, chopping onions with my worldview still intact.
All i can say is thanks, i appreciate you saying that for real
