Goodbye, My Friends

So over the last couple of weeks I have been slowly coming to the conclusion that I need to say 'goodbye' to JWC. Well, when I say 'goodbye', I really mean that I will probably still post, but nowhere near as much.

The reason being… well there are a few reasons actually. Back in November '08, when I first joined the board, it was fun. I had a blast. Everyone was just having fun, but also deep and meaningful conversations about V8 Supercars. I loved that.

That was until now.

The board is nothing like what it was. The board (from what I have been told) has pretty much gone right downhill. I'm just tired of the immaturity.

Now, I have been told by certain people (who shall remain nameless) the reasons as to why Jamie hasn't been around much these days. And that is fine. I understand. But is it right?

Just before Christmas, I came up with the idea to give Jamie a Christmas card on behalf of some of the fans. It wasn't much, just a small card with a couple of messages. I was never expecting any gratitude for it, I just did it because I thought it was the right thing to do. Just a way for me and others to say thank you.

To this day, after numerous attempts, still do not know if Jamie got the card. I have been trying to find out not for my benefit, but for the benefit of the fans who have been asking me if I knew.

Now, I understand Jamie is an extremely busy man. I get that. I also don't expect him to spend every second of every day on here trying to placate us. So I do not expect anything to come out of this. I am doing this simply for my own benefit. I feel as if I have become too emersed in the site. I just need to take a step back for a little bit. This whole post is to just let people know as to why I won't be around much, because I know some people have been worried about me.

But that is only some of the reasons as to why I am saying goodbye. Some I have stated, some I am keeping private. But please know, I have had an amazing amount of fun on here. So thank you to each and every one of you for cheering me up when I felt down, for making me laugh and making true friends which I hope to keep for a very long time to come.

So thank you everyone, and goodbye… for now.

By the way, some people seem to think that I am staying away for good. As I have stated at the beginning of this extremely long post, I'm nost saying goodbye forever… I am just cutting down on how much time I spend on here and how much I post. So really, giving this thread the title 'Goodbye, My Friends' may not have been a wise choice. HAHAHA ;)

WE WILL MISS YOU Lozza, & you know who "we" are when I say that :-(
You have certainly made the live chat a fun & happy place with your presence, & I sincerely hope that some of those PROBLEMS (they know who they are!) can sort themselves, or be sorted out, shortly.

Gonna miss you Bud, come back soon :-)

And Lozza the Christmas Card Idea was fantastic and very much appreciated!! You have a heart of gold and a wise head on those shoulders, there are a few on this list who could take a leaf out of your book!! ;)

Look after the six legged milking horse Flossy and go easy on the “Tardis” as they have cut down on the Fly-By pionts.

“Oh well…. *looks at smithy*”

***Laughs at Mitch for being so ridiculous***

Oh dearest Mitch, incase you haven’t noticed, Lozza and myself get on quite well as a matter of fact! Much better than you ever will with anyone on this site - because no-one like you because you ruin it for us!

I don’t need to say anything else - the posts I have inserted below say enough ;)

Thanks Lozza;

“Oh I wouldn’t be looking at him, Mitch. YOU are one of the main reasons.”

and thanks Mel;

“*Glares at Mitch for looking at Smithy* Take responsibility for your actions Mitch - it’s a price of growing up”

Anyway,

Lozza,

I cannot stress how much of a loss this is to our site. You have been one of the finest posters ever since joining. I along with just about each and every one of us wish you well, good luck and goodbye, just for now ;)

It’s been a pleasure to discuss the up and downs of this sport with you over the last 16 months.

Cyaaaaaaa - Just for now :D

Byeeee :(

***Tells self to shut up***

***Goes and joins the others in the corner and wipes away a few tears :P ***
