It took a moment to say hello, but years to say goodbye.

I may or may not have plagiarized the topic title for emotional impact.
What's up guys. I don't know if anyone is here anymore. Props to those who still browse and maybe see this. I'm just here to say goodbye, really. I was never able to contribute anything to this community. Neither in HaloMods, nor in Remnant, I could never grasp the magic behind modding. I made a couple ill-advised mods, even a skin at one point(it was terrible). And then AI in Multiplayer came around and I was helpless. The Xbox 360 came out and I was helpless. Remnant came around and as much as I wanted to keep Halo 2 alive I was still pretty useless. I'd like to hope my presence at least brought a smile or two to someone's face. Or added some sort of encouragement. I remember talking a LOT to Supermodder back in the day. And after that me and Grimdoomer chatted frequently. But my modding was done, and online relationships can only take you so far. I had entered college and I found the community had little left to offer me. Or in better words, the community had a LOT to offer, just nothing I was interested anymore.
But I couldn't really say goodbye. Remnant was always a backup social circle. "I may want to talk with DoorM4n again! I might get back into modding! I may want to post in the Happiness thread sometime!" But no, it's done. I wish I'd known you guys. Like, more than is possible on a forum. Neodos, Tural, GTAF, NotZach, Grim, Jackson, Xzodia, DoorM4n, there are just too many fucking people to mention and not enough to time to do it. We had quite the cool-kids club.
But it's time to go! I've graduated, I have a job, I'm getting an apartment. And I can finally say goodbye knowing I'll never taint the goodbye by coming back. So, enjoy your life! That's all I ask. If you don't enjoy it now, fuckin' bounce out of that tiny comfort zone you have and try something new. It is ALWAYS worth it.
My name is James Sguigna. Feel free to Facebook me if you want to stay in touch. If you're ever in my area, I'll buy you a drink.
Goodbye guys.
