The important thing is when a true Legend leaves the forum it weaken people because they plays a very crucial role in their lives, I can't count of how many people that has decided to take their leave but those that are really helpful to the forum whenever they take their walks it surely shows some loophole even though it's not practically displayed or announced by anyone but internally there is.
I've been here for years, and though I didn't interact with BlackHatCoiner all that much I agree with you that it sucks when a relative old-timer (there's not many true ones left from the early years) leaves, especially when they've had an effect on you. I felt the same thing when Vod left, and even Lauda too, despite all the controversy surrounding the latter. They both supported me early on, and it's strange to think about some faceless internet persona being able to evoke any kind of feeling--but I'm a creature born well before the internet was created, so that's probably why it seems strange.
But hey, BlackHatCoiner might return. Seems like when people say goodbye to the forum, they usually can't stay gone permanently.
Thank you for understanding what I mean, just take for example you deciding to leave the forum or another person like Hugeblack I know it will affect us emotionally despite we aren't communicating facially or having personal relationship with any of you here but with the little lift and support you guys have rendered to people around forum especially to Local board will affect users. Personally I have never had any personal relationship (deep communication with anyone here) but I picked up upon myself to start following some of their footsteps then and it really helps me change my way of behavior and makes me stronger.
If he wanted to leave silently, he would do. However, he left a BTT goodbye topic, said they were personal reasons.
Let us respect his privacy and hope that he will be fine.
You are right sir
If at any point in time you decided to take a walk don't you think it will as well affect us just as he decides to leave for his personal reason?
You do not need to speculate on these reasons since whatever is proposed here will be incorrect, and only one person knows the truth.
Sometimes there are moments in life that force us to return from virtual life to reality, although I agree that being on the forum has also become important for many.
You are correct ma, we can't tell the truth of his reasons but only him can give us what exact reason he did that.
Most times I do consider the fact that people attack each others or have some problems or beefing each others while someone can decide to a walk out of here. My question is that what is the main reason for attacking each others or keep stirring up some unnecessary issues knowing that at any point in time anyone may decides to take a leave just as he did, don't we think it's right time to start being nice to people?
