But MMLS hasn't gone, and fab will be coming back... I can't make any guarantees as to how the flow of things will take shape here at the forums, but I intend to revive the main site to even greater heights upon my official return. You mean... MMLS can get better? O.O If that ain't reason for everyone to stick around, then I dunno what is.  Shelldragon, it's good to see you back around. Hasn't really been terribly long - June was it? - Certainly been long enough though. While I have no idea how anyone can get bored HERE, it's good to know you'll be sticking around a while. |

Well, yes, it is a natural process for forums, or most anything for that matter, to go through steady periods of change. The members here now may eventually fade, and those of us who were before them will be all but forgotten. Such is life, yes, but there are those who fight the flow. It’s not inconceivable, not in the least, to believe and hope that the days of old could return, but it does seem unlikely I suppose, unless you’re willing to come around more often, as if you are I suppose I could as well. As for myself, my interest have shifted elsewhere, which isn’t to say I’ve forgotten about good ol’ Legends, but I found that I had failed to make any true ties in this place, that in truth, my roots were rather shallow. Merely leave for a week, and almost all was forgotten. Sad, I suppose, but where the wind blew me, I’ve found I’ve been able to create binding ties and as such, I’ve placed my loyalties there. Change is often for the best, though it often seems as though it’s for the worst when it first rears its head. Heh, as for me being condescending, I suppose I am the sort to occasionally be a bit arrogant. But I can assure you it had little, if anything, to do with the staff here. I merely had left for a period of time, a vacation you could call it, and found that when I returned, there was little to draw me back, and eventually I felt little reason to return, though the desire to clear up the occasional misunderstanding did well up in the core of my being, but all in all, such feelings faded, and I found that I served little purpose and had failed the most important task of any social forum: the creation of bonds and ties. But I suppose I’ve already covered that, so there is little reason to ramble on. Still, I do visit the forum, though I’ve resigned myself to the position of a mere watcher. Ah, but nonetheless, it is good to see you once more my good sir, BM 1-3. We had some good times, but unless those of us who hail from yore decide to muster the effort to restore those days, I suppose this may be the last we see of you and I, lest fate has a trick up its sleeve. But such seems unlikely, does it not? I shall leave the decision in your hands, though… Pax vobiscum |

These reasons everyone is giving for not being here I find very upsetting.. Two got bored and left, and now another who just didn't wanna show up anymore? And these are those from the so-called good ol' days? I can see if someones busy, but to me at least, this was very unexpected.  Especially at this point, when DASH seems to be making a comeback, slowly but surely..
btw, "lest" is more of an 'if' word. It's shposed to mean like "for fear that", not "unless".Well hope you can still manage to enjoy yourself here.

I suppose I should clarify myself a bit. At the time I had left, my friend also led me in the direction of another site, the one in which I was successfully able to create bonds of friendship with others, and grow. Now, I did return to MMLS at the end of my vacation, even making one of my typical long posts, but things just weren’t the same.
It was close to this time that I began to reexamine my stay here at MMLS. What had this consisted of? Making friends, expanding my horizons, and enjoying Legends? Sadly, the last was probably the only I had done, instead spending my tenure here making rants and lengthy posts about the most minute of things, and probably the only one who I could call “friend” was BM 1-3, and he had vanished. It is by my own fault that I failed to create good bonds; it’s quite apparent from Pharaoh’s comments that the mark I left was less then desirable.
Now, on the other hand, I had come to another site, and learning from my mistakes I strived to create bonds and be of great help to those around me. I had made friends, created bonds, and had made it a point to contribute as much as I could; I’ve become a part of this new world, just as Pitch is a part of MMLS. But here is where another problem arose; I find it hard to spread my loyalties between two entities. As much as I hate it, I find that I either focus on one and forget the other, or vice versa. Now, which place would you choose: The place where you had friends and bonds, or the place where people viewed you coldly and your only contributions were annoyingly long posts?
The good ol’ days were days of close camaraderie where the all were friends and we sat around and jokingly theorized and commented to our heart’s content. To us older members, these days have seemingly faded. The warmth and cheer has left, and sadly few care to rekindle these feelings, and as such we move on. Such is life. To the newer members, perhaps that feeling is still strong, but to us, these days are gone. If we were here for Legends alone, we would never have taken our leave, but we were here for much more, and that is what, at least to us, is missing.
fab has done an unimaginably good job putting this site together, and if I was here for Legends alone, I’d have long since stapled myself to the site. Warmth, camaraderie; Legends alone I do not seek. Legends is but a game, and in the end, it is meaningless. It’s the bonds between members that make it all worthwhile, and these bonds I lack. Instead, I’m viewed as arrogant and shallow, and though at times I may be, I can assure you that I am not truly so. The damage is done, the bridges set ablaze, and only for one will they be rebuilt.
But I suppose I’m not making much sense, so there’s little reason to continue. I merely wanted to make it clear that it was by my own fault that I had decided to drift away, not by inactivity or the like. But as I said, it all turned out for the better. Things are better here sans me, are they not? And through this, I found a new home, and aside from that, I owe the admin there greatly, and he has become a close friend. All for the best, all for the best.
As for ‘lest’, I just like the way it sounds… and I’m weird. Yay me! But that matters not...

Wow, lots of feelings and revelations coming out into the open here...
I quite agree with you GustaffGlyde, on the matter of what keeps people at a place. You like a video game, sign up at a forum that goes with it, comment to your heart's content, and when you've said all you have to say, what's left to keep you around? Putting aside the fact that I can't just abandon this place since I'm the admin and whatnot, I must confess there were times when I just didn't have anything to say and didn't feel like coming around at all. I don't really have much to say about Legends anymore, but it's the wonderful memories and the great friends that make this place precious, and keep me wanting to hang around.
That said, I'm extremely sorry to hear you didn't obtain that feeling while you were here. You expressed something to that effect in a few PMs we exchanged long ago. I don't think I fully understood what you were getting at back then, but I understand it very well now. The bonds I've made and the great times that go with them are irreplaceable, whereas the forums themselves are just a place to post.
You and I never formed strong bonds, but for what it's worth I always liked you, valued you as one of the members who made this place what it was, and always enjoyed reading your posts no matter how much of my time they ate up. But yeah, life branches out and you've got to follow where your heart takes you. If that's really the way you feel and you've found what you were looking for elsewhere, then I'm very happy for you and I don't blame you in the least for saying farewell to Legends Station.
It's just sad though, how nothing in life lasts...

Well I suppose I can see your end on that G2. However, though, I think you may be mistaken, as you've most definitely been missed, more than likely by people other than Byuro Burauea BM 1-3 and myself, and I wish you'd reconsider your thoughts on the matter. I'd never planned to mention it to anyone here, but I once left for the same reason(and by 'left' I actually mean 'left'), and when I came back I was so amazed that people even remembered me, and well... *glances at post count* yeah. I will say though, I do know what you mean about not being able to be spread well over 2 different forums.
On the subject of there being nothing to discuss about Legends, I find that once you've figured everything in the series out, that it's the best possible time to roleplay, and I'll end on that note, as I have a post to go make.

After you discussed everything about the game on the forum, there isn't much more to discuss. I rarely post any more for that one reason. Gustaff Glyde, I remember you as one of the intelligent members when you were here, making good posts and points, I thought you liked the forum, and I would hope that me arguing with you over the Human vs. Robot MegaMan thing did not cause this.
He probably won't come back to read that...
Anyway, I'm sure the good times will return once more. Hopefully we will all still be here when it happens. Who knows, that time may exist when Legends 3 development comes around, if it comes around. It may come as of other Legends stuff, like stuff at the Main Gate, such as AT and MMLEx (Self advertising YAY), At least I certainly hope they play a role in it. But a revival will come eventually never the less.
I have a wierd feeling that I made a fool of myself in this post. I dunno why yet...

I guess I should put my 2 cents in here. I think this place has changed a lot as well. Before this summer, everything was cool here. I used to try to go here a lot more often. Ever since I got back, a lot of stuff had changed, and is still changing. Members leave, noobs enter, it's just not the same, happy place this was before. It's a good site and all, it's just that the atmosphere isn't the same as it used to be.
