As many of you are aware, the Great Social Group Purge has begun. Among it's first victims was the Zexalia Hideout. Taking the words of Evil Figment into account, I can understand why it was deleted so suddenly, but it was still painful for them and they fled to The Planetary Pit Stop, a group I've been apart of since shortly after it was created and a group that the Hideout knew well. We soon began to panic out of fear that the Pit Stop meet deletion requirements. Within 2 hours of the Purge's beginning, the Pit Stop also fell victim. The only hinting was my own panic at seeing two mods in the group's user list. Now with the Pit Stop, the only place on the internet where I was truly happy, gone, it was like somebody had first burned down the neighbor's house, then your own as you took in your neighbors. There were only two other places where could go, the first was the Dueling Network Club (as most of the members of the Hideout and PPS were duelists) the other was the Quick Topic I had made several months back for similar situations, but I couldn't have imagined a situation like this. The QT was meant as a place where we could continue to chat even if the landlord went nuts or the forums were down and was never intended to fully replace the Pit Stop. I am willing to forgive the staff for their miscommunication, but I am starting to think that a notice would've only made leaving harder. Lief has put forward ideas for an offsite Pit Stop, but it won't be able to have the same memories as the old one. Seeing how the Pit Stop was the only thing that had me still tied to the Bulbagarden Forums, I see no reason to stay here at Bulbagarden. I will return to my nomadic way of life, but before I do, I want to say a few things to the folks who have made the past year so interesting.

@Akuraito; I have not known you for very long, but in that time, I have found you to be a good sport, even if I'm OTKing you repeatedly. Perhaps we will continue to see each other on the Dueling Network.

@Doctor jokool; Of all the people here, I've known you for a very long time. We share a common interest in dueling, even though I'm not fond of dueling you these days. It's been interesting watching you become such a strong duelist while I've pretty much remained where I was. You also share my obsession with Bleach. I don't know if the Dueling Network Club will survive this purge, but if it does, perhaps I'll come back and visit.

@Kakuna Matata; You are the only staff member I trust, maybe because you are so friendly with the local beaver population, but also because you're a good friend. I enjoyed your wallposts and seemingly endless supply of similes. Perhaps we will meet again. As for the social groups I own, I do not care what happens to them.

@Kurloz Makara; I remember I used to hate you, but my opinion of you changed after you formed the Pit Stop, the one place I was truly happy. We may have had different opinions on things, but in the end it would work out. One thing that brought me a lot pride came from you when you said I was what kept the Pit Stop moving forward. It'd be nice to see you at whatever Lief comes up with.

@Locked In My Asylum; You were the first person here on the internet I told my actual age to. Like me, you also have Autism and that somehow made you easier to talk to. I expect that we will continue to chat, if not here on Bulbagarden, then somewhere else.

@Marche Radiuji; I don't know why we cross blades so often, but no one else here on Bulbagarden has a history with me quite like you. I hope your efforts for a offsite Pit Stop pay off and if they do, expect me to be there.

@MidnightSunset; I haven't know for as long I have for some of the others mentioned here, but it's nice to have another male Vocaloid fan to talk to. Sadly it looks like this will be the last time we exchange words as I do not know if you have an account on any of my favorite haunts. But if we meet again, then I hope we continue where we left off.

@The Jingster; You're as funny as you are annoying. Yet that annoyingness of you is what makes you so fun to be around. You're always good for a laugh or two. You are also the one who kicked started my dueling career, for that, I thank you for having provided me a place that strengthened preexisting bonds and formed new ones. I hope to see you again in the future.

@TheCapsFan; I don't have much to say about you, but I do hope to one day meet you in person.

Well, I've said what I've wanted to say. You can reply to this post if you want, but it's unlikely I will see it.
