It's me again, just stopping by to say hi 
I've been thinking about this site for a while. It's been, what, a year since I quit? Two? I forget now, but it's certainly been a while. Last time I stopped by I mentioned that I was considering rejoining, and I was, but I obviously decided not to. I hope I didn't seriously disappoint anyone-- I was just experiencing a particularly strong wave of nostalgia ^__^
Anyway, I've been thinking. I decided that this is going to be my last time checking in on you guys. I love this site and always will, but it isn't a part of my life anymore, and it's sort of moved on without me.
I'm going to try to keep this as light as possible! But I think a little musing is in order. I joined WU when it was a fledgling site, with fewer than 100 members. It was 2005, and I was in seventh grade at the time. It was my first time ever roleplaying, or even really communicating with other people online. I couldn't have picked a better place to start. I soon made great friends and met amazing people-- Dessie, Goldy, Kash, Cindy, Sunny, Mysti, and Middems were the first, followed later by Marly, Cookie, Froggy, Seasle, and Streamy, among others.
But the thing is, people grow up. Things change. It's hard to understand until you see all your friends leaving (although for me, I was the first to go, and I only had to deal with, for once, not knowing what was going on with the site and why). It's easy to say that you'll stay with the site even as you get older. Not so easy to do.
As far as I can tell, only Middy, Cindy, and Kash are still active from my original friends. Dessie and Cookie seem to have disappeared off the face of the planet. And the site seems to be changing hands-- not necessarily in the sense of ownership, but the main people on the site, the most active people, aren't the same as when I was around.
I knew this day would come-- the day I'd have to say goodbye. I'll never forget this site, but it'll forget me. And that's the way things should be, you know? I'm so proud of this site for staying active for so many years.
I've fallen out of touch with everyone. Here's my information, if you want it:
E-mails: harrylover101@hotmail.com, ella.potter.4ever@gmail.com
MSN: harrylover101@hotmail.com
Mibba: SMILE honey xx
Facebook: I'll give this out to certain people, but please e-mail me for it, cause I basically have to tell you my full name and where I live
Please, if you know me, contact me. I miss all of you, and I'm so ready to get back in touch. Also, if there are people I knew (i.e. Goldy, Dessie) who are inactive now but come back periodically, direct them to this thread please? Thank you so much
So I guess that, after all these years, this is the last time I'll say goodbye. Don't be sad =]
Goodbye, Warriors United.
I love you guys forever!
Love always, your Stormy
