Hello everyone, and especially nali.
It's been a long time; I'm not sure where to begin. When I look at the slew of new boards my uncle has added and the host of topics and uncountable amount of posts to read over, it is little to say that I am overwhelmed. That is much the reason that in the event that I sit down and decide to log in to the forum, it is unlikely that I will comment on any new posts. Despite my laziness Hermskii has informed me of Nali's departure and I immediately set aside the numerous tasks I had at hand.
Nali, what can I say? In the days that we enjoyed MHM I had a great respect for you. You taught me BT; you taught me how to unlock all the powerups in Andromeda and to translocate my way to the instagib. I was one of the best jumpers in our community thanks to you. I vividly remember the hours we spent boosting noobs too the ground on the hebereke maps. It was not the game that drew me to UT and the forum, it was the people and my experiences with them. You, bigboss, bio, Jman, ice, all the newer generation players(any players I've failed to mention, I apologize to, please forgive me as I have forgotten those that have gone before me). I feel as though those times were the high points of MHM. I remember logging on like nali mentioned, and seeing a list of familiar names online and being more than excited to join.
Merely typing this message is bringing back feelings of nostalgia and making want to return to those days. Those were the days when I was a young punk with no vehicle and no where to be even if I had one. Then I grew up, found a job, got a car, picked up a girl, and all that attention that I gave to UT and MHM and all you guys who were and still are my friends was distributed to other interests. My newfound ability to leave the house is what took me away from you guys. The people in my life whom I could see and touch became not more important, but more accessible and thus more significant.
It is the cycle that we all know of. Either we were or are, a part of it, and are gone from UT, or have known people or had friends who were lost to it. Those that fall to it cannot be put to blame. When things become real in ones life, reorganization comes shortly thereafter. Sometimes those who leave, come back, for a short time or long, and sometimes they don't. It is the way the world turns.
Nali, it's been real, and it's been fun. I give you my farewell, thanks, and hope. When you leave for good, wherever you go and whatever you do, I wish you success and prosperity. I do ask that you do a better job than me, and poke in every blue moon and say Hi. And also to actually go check the responses; you will be surprise who is still around and glad to know you still exist.
I am seventeen now, I have a vehicle, a job, I spend my time at school and anytime available after that with friends. Though I am within arms reach of my PC for at least 2 hours each day, I must guiltily admit that I fail to so much as think about the forum. This message and the memories it revives motivates me to install a shortcut to the forum on my desktop. I hope to be able to poke in and give my two cents here and there and make new friends and reminisce with the old.
Farewell Nali, it was real.
