Adios

[Durandal7]

Adios, it's been fun. I'm off to other ventures.

edit- 4/6/03:
Reasons why I left:
- The site is inundated with pointless "political" flamewars that have spread to almost every thread on the site.
- The elimination of the "Rumors" designations on several forums has de-emphasized the entire idea of this being a rumor site.

In short, this has turned into a political forum that happens to have a computer section. If there is some major change in the future I will come back, I will continue to read the main page and I will submit any rumor related information I come across to arn.

First diorio, now you?

Must be something in that Colorado Springs water.http://img.ranchoweb.com/images/veronica/rolleyes.gif

Sad to see you go, you're one of the more respected members here, adios.http://img.ranchoweb.com/images/veronica/damn.gif

[Mr. Anderson]

Any particular reason for leaving? Whe're you going?

Good luck, though, nice to see you didn't dump and run like diorio.

Its been fun,

[King Cobra]

Man, why are you leaving, asurace --> Durandal? :confused:

Not cool. But you will be missed.

[eyelikeart]

hmm...yeah...

not that it's an obligation...but it would be nice for u guys to at least say why u are leaving...

or is this asking too much?

obviously that might have been too much, weird though.

I know some day I'll stop visiting MacRumors on a regular basis, but I don't think I'd ever go so far as to have a 'Goodbye Thread'. I imagine I'll still come back and lurk or check things out from time to time, but not to worry everyone, I'm not going anywhere any time soon :D:p :rolleyes:

[jelloshotsrule]

i say. if you're going, you're going. who cares.

if you know about any particular member enough for them to care, then you'll talk to them afterwards anyways.

just cheap publicity

[jefhatfield]

we will miss you if you go forever

but do come back from time to time, if even for just a few posts like ensign paris, john 123, and alphatech

it's been real

[alex_ant]

What a crappy exit. Out with a fizzle, just like AlphaTech. Diorio set a fine example which I hoped would catch on. Where's my obscenity-laden insult?

I think trying to mimic or even come close to dioio's 'good bye' would be pretty lame. Almost as bad as his post. It was uncalled for and maybe someday he'll grow up and realize that he could have been a little more mature about it.

Its ok to have differences of opinion - its what makes things interesting in life. But to take it personally is a a little too much.

[hvfsl]

Well I did not know you excisted before today and where could you possibly be going, to not be able to access the Internet anymore.

I expect you are not going anywhere and this is just some kind of joke, like the thread that tried to get 'The Sims' baned.

[job]

it's been a good one.

i'll see you around asurace/durandal. :)

I hadn't even seen that post until you guys mentioned it. Thats quite a grudge list. Nutz man.

I was going to comment on ths thread, but in light of diorio's fantastically childish and bile soaked exit, this thread doesn't seem quite as bad.

i'll be back though. ;) :p

[scem0]

Scem0: At first you really annoyed me, but then you actually started turning less annoying. Good Job.

I never saw that... :( ;) :D :p . At least I was getting 'less annoying'. Hehe.:p

Yeah I want to go out with a bang or somthing.

But I would slowly leave not all up and leave unless I got an apple job then I would 'leave'.
If you see a person talk like me it isn't me. :D

At least you didn't get the vile kiss-off I got. Yowsa!

I guess it figures, but a lot of the people on his list are some of the people I like the best on these forums. Go figure.

Glad to see some people liked it though. :rolleyes:

Do you ever wonder what society would be like like if we didn't give a dang about other people's feelings or what they thought of us? Any takers for an "anything goes" thread??

oh god, that could get ugly. It would end up on religion or politics.

or poop..... ;) :D

No, no, no. Religion and politics would be much too civilized. I was thinking more along the lines of namecalling, slander, and baseless allegations...and poop.

Gotta have poop. :D

nah. i was saying it was only his opinion that you were actually getting LESS annoying. ;)

[scem0]

are you implying that I'm getting more annoying :confused: :confused: :eek: :rolleyes: :D ;)

[job]

just for kicks i went over to durandal's old personal site.

he and i were working on a marathon mod a while back...he has had several internet sites..

i went to http://www.asurace.de.vu which was his first personal site. interestingly enough it has a simple image (see below). is this possibly his new venture? hmmmm?

also viewing the metatags of his html source reveals this interesting info:


<meta name="description" content="Mac site">
<meta name="keywords" content="Mac, MacOS, Macintosh, OS X">

you were never annoying but your old icon spun and got me dizzy and made it hard to read small text on either one of my 12" screen laptops;)

[teabgs]

Durandal....no reply...I would have expected at least something from him. Suck that he's going, but He hasn't really posted much lately anyway....

That Diorio goodbye was wild, I had no idea that even had happened...

Here's my take. If youre not gonna post anymore, you just kinda stop. If you have a goodbye thread, you'll be back, someday.

That said, if Durandal does read this,do you have a new AIM name? if you do IM me some time....if not, I guess you just don't im any more. Peace

Going to www.classicmac.tk also brings up the same image. Seems he registered the domain.


I've seen .tk domains before. Does anyone know what country code they are and how you get one? :confused:

nah. i'd say you're staying at right about the same level.

[Mr. Anderson]

It is interesting that he's not replied to this or anyones comments.

Has anyone had any contact with him since outside of MacRumors?

Scem0 - your tar was annoying, it could have been anyones face, wouldn't matter. Glad you changed it.

Hmm, seems to me that the only person he knew outside MR was diorio, who is also gone, weird.

Perci Mac - did you know durandal7?

i'm still not sure what the status on that thing is.

Good question. Maybe his website is updated and information on marathon is available.

scem0 I happened to like your tar. ;) I think that you are a fine young man that expresses himself in an intelligent manner. The just like you so much that they are enjoying teasing you. I consider you a friend, as I do many on the forum! :) Cheerup please, take a deep breath, and smile! :p

Such trully good words, no one is forced to open any thread. If you don't like what you see, just close out and go on to another!

Hahahaha I got mentioned. I feel so so so SPECIAL!!!!:D


On the other hand I happened to agree with durandal that for some reason of late the board has become a political/religious fight with a sideline of computer topics.

hmm... from what i've seen in my lifetime, politicians don't know **** about politics.... or at least, what i think politics should be

i have no problem with someone leaving for whatever reason. i don't see the reason to tout it like everyone will struggle to breathe when you're gone.

[Sun Baked]

But Durandal7's signature proclaiming his resignation to the masses, was a little bit over the top

Durandal7's Signature

Reasons why I left:

- The elimination of the "Rumors" designations on several forums has de-emphasized the entire idea of being a rumor site.

In short, this has turned into a political forum that happens to have a computer section. If there is some huge change in the future I will come back, I will continue to read the main page and I will submit any rumor-info I come across to arn.I sort of missed it until some of the older threads got dragged back up to the top.

[Mr. Anderson]

If he feels that way about the site, well that's fine - its his call. I don't think its worth the effort to worry about it though....
