i have no idea how old this question is. um, the reason that i left is kind of contradictory and confusing, if you really get into it. i love being on that thread and talking to my friends there. i'm there all day whenever i'm home and i tell them everything that passes through my mind and we all know each other so well. we each have idiosyncracies that are sometimes cute and adorable but sometimes obnoxious. the thing that did it for me was that dan was so hard to put up with sometimes. she's a great person at times and she is very smart and has a unique mind, that's for sure. but the way that she expresses it, sometimes it drives me crazy. i want to be there for her and be her friend regardless of however much abuse i suffer from what she cold heartedly says, and i know that she doesn't do it to just be a jerk and be mean to me and whoever else. the logic in my head wants me to stay there and get through it every day or every other day or however often it is, but there comes a point with my heart when it stops listening to the logic and says, "this hurts me. why do you keep coming back here when you keep getting hurt? get me out of here" so eventually i just decided to pull the plug. i PM'd znoby and told him to get me off, and i briefly explained to him why, and i IM'd him maybe a week or so later to tell him that he could just delete it and stop holding on to it.

BUT then he deleted the threads and everything changed: dan got banned, most of my other friends did as well to be honest, and the whole set up of the boards is different. it's back to how it used to be, with different personalities for the most part, but it's back to the way that it used to be. that mixed with the fact that i was just trying to distract myself from something very personal and pass a few solid hours without thinking about it are the reasonts that i asked him for my account back. and he gave it back to me. so here i am.
