I've been asked to stop posting so many nonsense threads, maybe limit them to 1 or 2 a day.  I didn't think I made more than that anyway.  I feel that, while I do generate (more than) my fair share of silliness, I also take part in plenty of serious conversations as well.  I guess I can understand where they're coming from; I wouldn't want to take attention away from the more serious threads like "What if NOBODY on this board ...... REALLY exists?", or the 83 page thread about Pathmark, or the 2376 page "Longest Thread Ever" thread that encourages random nonsense just to make it long. 

I guess maybe I'm making a bigger deal out of this than I should, maybe I'm being a big baby about it, or maybe I'm just annoying and most of you are too nice to tell me.  But looking through page after page of threads, I have realized that I contribute absolutely nothing positive to this forum so I've decided to leave it.

You're a great group of people and I will miss you... much more, I'm sure, than you'll miss me. 

Goodbye, and thanks for giving me a place to play for a while.

You do not have to leave, you can always still replies in the many threads that have developed here.

dont leave bill! the mods gotta spank us every once in a while, it's their job. they dont mean nothin by it.

I am not going to tell you to stay, you will do what you want but I wish you wouldn't go.

I tried to send you a PM but I guess you already deleted your account. I hope you read this:

Please don't leave. Yes, the board is in a negative mode right now. It gets like that from time to time-and several people think about leaving. Then all the negativity dies down and everything is good again. So, please stick it out. If you want to take a break, well, I think everyone probably needs to do that from time to time. I think you are a rich asset to this board-even if I don't participate in some of your polls/threads, I know others really like them. So, please stay.

Bill, seriously?
You have taken this the completely wrong way for real!
We love your threads!!! All we asked is that you slow down a little bit in creating them...


You are crazy!!!!! :D

Us mods have been going through trying to clean up some of the clutter in the PPP, and we thought "Ok, we will merge some of Bill's topics because they are bound to be similar". NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! ;D

Dude, you're threads are seriously funny, and yet seriously insane at the same time!!!

All kidding aside though, we would appreciate it if you would slow down a little bit on the number of threads you start, like say maybe 1 or 2 a day, so that maybe they can generate a little more conversation before another one is started up.

We would truly appreciate it!

Thank a bunch

Hey Bill,

No one wants you to leave man. You've still got a place to stay, because you'll note that your account is still here (and now active again). Must have been a board glitch that rejected your deletion.  ;)

Catwoman is right, everything has been kinda crazy the past few weeks.  It'll settle down again soon enough.

Ant

Aw  Bill,

I admit I thought you were a little off at first but now I totally get you....and I really like you.  You have contributed several relevant posts too...I mean who else can I talk to about Madonna's face lift(s)

please stay, come back whatever...just don't go....

Q

Bill, your threads are brilliant - most of the time I can't understand them but, for me, that adds to the appeal. Surreal silliness is class. You asked for help with your CD mix in the 80s section and you got it, showing how much people like you here.

Take it from a man who's just come back after 2 years, don't delete your account. :)

Ah shoot...now you've upset Howard.


But seriously...I hope you reconsider. Your randomness and whacky polls may sometimes have eluded me, but I believe that you are an asset to the collective. Do not ever change. Just...get back here.

Aww, Bill...don't leave.  I didn't really notice you making that many threads, but I do believe I've been on all of them.  And I love talking to you..so don't go.  :( :\'(

For real?

Nobody asked you to leave.

Don't assume anything so big unless you've proof.

Some people may not like so many threads, but it's up to you to post what you want.

If a moderator's asked you to post less threads, then post less, but don't leave... unless you absolutely want to.

Do what you want, not what you think others want.

You make sense, Dom

Damnit Bill...you are one of my favorite people around here...I look forward to your posts and talking to you everyday...please don't leave!!! :\'( :(

Why r u leaving?  :(

Circumstances. I don't wish him to leave at all!!

If you want to leave Bill, I guess there's nothing we can do to stop you.  We do wish you would reconsider

Your polls were a little strange, but where would we be if we weren't all a little strange lol

OMG!  :o  how'd I miss this thread.  oh yeah, cuz i don't speak frikken spanish  ;D   Bill, I'm pleased you reconsidered. I'm sure you know that many of us have gotten frustrated or felt like leaving for whatever reasons and we may feel that way again. But it's no reason to close up and leave. You've got a ton of friends here. so you had fun with those goofy threads and have been asked to stop or back off. no big deal, it's not the worst thing that could happen to someone. really, I'm glad you stayed, otherwise I was gonna come over there and smack you upside your head, but in a loving fatherly way  ;D   

Glad you're back Bill. :)

You were back then speaking at the heat of the moment. Time has now past, and you have reflected on the situation. There is no need to leave, there is fun to be had in all the other available threads.

WOW! I've just started to skim this first post in this thread.  Sorry to see the powers that be seem to have gotten heavy with you Bill.  I love these nonsense threads / having a laugh. Perhaps there should be a separate area of the board created for people who do enjoy generating these / reading these .... since there does seem to be a substantial audience here for the likes of you (and dare I say ... me ?). Kiss kiss Bill. Love ya ....

Stick around !

Al.

P.S.. will start reading thread in more detail !
