That's a lie! But seriously, that's not true. :shock:

And you're getting off-topic now too! Consider yourself not-so unofficially warned!

You've certainly wasted no time in setting up your own little niche here at the forums. I definitely see a long, if controversial, future here on the forums for you. You've certainly made an impact on me. Thanks for your words.

Too true. Cloud, shadow, earth and flesh. In any order. But that's going offtopic.

So now Cactus has cleared stuff up, I will say I miss 'im. But he'll be back, I know it :D

*Sigh* I can't believe Cactus is gone, and on such short notice (And such a rude last post [Which was fixed by the awesome, 2 pages long goodbye :D ])

I never really realised how much he did for the forum, and now that he's gone, it seems like someone’s run through the forums with an axe of demoralize +5 :roll: :( What I mean is, it seems like chunks of the forum are missing. And everyone’s sad, too.

I do hope he comes back, he was my favourite Mod, considering he was the only one who wasn’t a Robot (No offence Codex-n-others! Please don't hurt me)

So, even though I never talked to Cactus much, or really knew him, I would just like to say:

Goodbye, Awesomest Mod who ever lived

(I would also like to say sorry, if I ever insulted you in anyway)

(You know what, I think, whenever I get Oblivion on the PC, I'm going to try making a cacti shaped tombstone on top of dive rock, with something nice written on it. How's that for a tribute?)

I look and I note both of the people who are saying this is 'too far' are newer members. Cactus as an important part of these forums, and they are not the same without him.

Well sometimes you have to build a bridge and get over it.
From what little I saw of him, I saw that he was a contributor
and a moderator that will never be completely replaced.
I feel that he gave me his blessing before he left,
which is another reason I am really sad to see him go.
But still, hes not dead.

Stop writing Cactus' eulogies.

He might even be back some day! :D

Yeah. I know how important he was to the forums. It won't be the same without him, but some people are acting like they witnessed his death. All we can do is wish him good luck and keep what little contact we have with him active :)

Re: Cactus

Post by Lunarsweets »

I'm not sure any of you understood what he was going though. Not even I do. Remember, anyone can put on a mask an hide their feelings.

From Cactus:
All she did was leave my house?
You mean all she did was make me lose my home, thousands of dollars, and be forced to move to another country six months early?
You're right, she's totally innocent.

Did she tell you how she gave us less than 24 hours notice when she knew I'd been out of work because of a band back, and then swine flu/sinus infection for two months so the rent we were splitting three ways she had to leave on my ex-fiancee's head? That's why I'm out of so much money, because I've been dipping into my Germany savings to keep my ex in a place to live. I'm down more than half, already.

Which lie(s) did she tell you about me, besides her little claim to innocence, apparently? Was it the one where I cheated on my ex or the one where we all had a threesome? That's what she's telling everyone at work. Maybe it's the one where my ex is sleeping around with random guys. Or is it something else and new I haven't heard about yet?

By the way, I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You can believe what you want and I could care less what people think about me. Point is, don't just automatically assume people are telling you the truth. Don't worry, I won't be PMing you anymore and bugging you.

Lunar, I'm gonna have to be dead honest with you, you surprised me. My PM was kind of... well, I was an [&@%!]. I have to say, I respect you a lot more from your PM. Hell, I even respect you more for not just automatically believing me. I mean, you have to take my word as much as you do hers, and you just said "I don't know."
The reason I can't stand her isn't even that she left. I can't stand her because she KNEW what was going on, and left anyway. She knew we were broke and that we could barely pay the rent with her here, much less with her leaving. On top of that, she moved in with people she's spent the past year constantly talking bad about behind their backs, people she claimed to hate. She's a hypocrite and a liar and just.. I hate it. As for Caz.. no, I wasn't staying home to talk to her. It's pretty stupid to chat with someone online whilst yknow.. losing your job. :roll: In fact, I've been so depressed since I've gotten sick and all that I haven't been on MSN to "chat with everyone from the forums" in well over a month. I just.. can't stand talking to people.

As for banning, you're technically right, but she's really a generally disrespectful person to a lot of people who will instantly hate someone for tiny things, say horrible things behind their backs, then smile and act like their best friend when they walk up. I know I shouldn't ban her, but it's basically her or me. I can't stand coming online and seeing her post, so if she ends up getting unbanned or something, I'll just step down. I can't hang out in a forum with someone who literally cost me thousands of dollars. See, I was moving to Germany next year with about $5000-7000 saved up, and now I'm going over there with about $3200. Technically a lot less, because that $3200 also has to get me a passport and a plane ticket, leaving me with maybe $2000 to live on, with no job, in a country I've never been to. Why do I do that instead of just stay? Because staying here I'm having to support my ex, meaning that $3200 is slowly dwindling. It's gotten to a move now or never kind of situation, just because she felt we asked too much of her when she lived here. I guess cleaning up after herself was out of line.

Anyway, I'm sorry for dumping on you, but just.. the breaking point was when Katherine (ex) came home from work this morning telling me about how Renee had told him Katherine was sleeping around with random guys, and someone else said that she said the reason we broke up is because I was cheating on her, and yet someone else told her that Renee said we all had a threesome. Just.. no.

Anyway, that's the reason I banned her, and I was still fuming from that when I got your PM, so I kind of "attacked" you. I'm sorry, especially since you took it so well. It's really not your problem and yet.. here's another novel I've written. Thanks again.


PS: You can tell her I've banned her new account as well as her IP. I know it's "wrong" but like I said, it's either her or me.
PPS: I forgot about you saying I should talk to her. We've tried, she just gets upset and cries (she cries when she gets angry) and lies to our faces. It's why we weren't homeless months ago instead of now, because we came home to find her packing her stuff back then. We convinced her to stay, but it was obviously just until she came up with a way to not live with her parents again.

Edit: I'm curious, what else has she told you about me? Anything at all, even if it seems insignificant. Anything about my ex, Katherine? What'd she tell you about living here, too, or why she moved?
Don't worry, I'm not going to start anything. I don't have any way to contact her and I've quit Walmart, so it's not gonna happen.

There are profanities, but it would be much more respectful if you just left them. For the sake of the forums.
