Title: I'm leaving you.
Post by: kevin1gamer on January 13, 2010, 14:16:49
I will be leaving you all temporarily on either August 19, 2010 or January 3, 2011.  I may actually leave a few days earlier though, since I'll have to get settled in at where I'm going, also, please note that the dates are subject to change, for I don't think they start school on the same day every year (plus the school I'm going to temporarily go to probably won't at the start the same time my normal school starts.  Now you may be wondering where I am going and why.  Well, I am going to Cologne, Germany, because it is something I really want to do, and because of a certain individual, ;).

I do however regret to inform you that I may not be able to visit any of the forums I actively go to while I am away, let alone all 485 of them.  So I am posting this message on all the forums I go to (or atleast the ones that I can right now, since I doubt have time at the moment to post it on all 400+ forums).  I do hear that several people in Germany do use the Internet however, and unfortunately the house family I was hoping to stay with had too little room for a guest, so I have to stay with someone else there, how unfortunate.

I will be gone for what will be gone for a full semester, which is about half of a year.  If I get into the program for the first semester (August 19, 2010), I believe I will be able to return to my loving and caring real family in the United States of America before Christmas.  I thank you all for your understanding and/or support.  I will try and get on some of the sites I have bookmarked, but I will probably only get on the SS Free and Facebook on a daily basis still, but even then, no promises.  Wish me luck and a safe trip everyone.  If you feel the need to make a topic (or topics) about saying "goodbye and have a safe flight" (or something like that) to me before I leave, feel free to do so.

I am REALLY sorry to hear that Kevin. I am sure you will be a major loss to all the 485 forums that you regularly post on.

It is so fortunate that we have between 8 and 12 months notice in which to console ourselves... I fear the very existence of this forum is in doubt.  :sleepy:

It only leaves me to ask one question... WHo ARE you?  ???



EDIT: After reading through your ALL of your 11 posts, I know now... Have you actually ever tried SS before you go?

Mr Wavemusic will be back. I am sure of that... Maybe under a different name, but he will be back.


A hint of sarcasm?

Everyone's dropping like flies here now...
Me sarcastic?  :angel: I don't know what made you think I was being sarcastic...

Everyone? Two people with less than 20 posts between them. There are still a few members left here.


EDIT: Since Mr Kevin has not registered his profile and his posts have never been about SS AT ALL! Can this be classed as spam?

Post by: Ballast on January 13, 2010, 19:25:27
Perhaps you should ask that to Ms. tabby1gamer, administrative representative of the United Gamers Alliance who will become the acting replacement as chairman of the SS Free, the SS Free Network, and all SS Free Network members, which include, but are not limited to: the United Gamers Alliance, SS Free Germany, the Universal Gaming League, and the Zombieland Forums.

Mr Wavemusic will be back. I am sure of that... Maybe under a different name, but he will be back.

Perhaps he’ll be a highwayman again,
Or he may be a single drop of rain,
Still he will remain.
And he’ll be back again, and again, and again…

I can just feel the enthusiasm for the word 'again'...  :D

Post by: Mad_Fred on January 14, 2010, 00:05:31
No idea who you are or why your head is that big, but I wish you a happy trip!

And seriously.. did you have to make this topic while you're not going away for 3/4 of a year?

Oh and..

If the lovely Mrs whatshername becomes your active replacement, then who is the no longer active replacement that is now replacing you as chairman, given her the position of the active replacement, I wonder?

I find it a refreshing novelty, among all the Spam and insipid posts, to get a lengthy form letter that makes absolutely no mention of Ship Simulator (SS refers to a different thing), from someone who apparently has never played Ship Simulator.

I am, however, somewhat chagrinned to discover someone with an ego so vastly outpacing my own.

I doubt that Kevin will ever see these replies. He will probably need to devote all of his time to packing.

I'd like to announce that I am going away.

Post by: TerryRussell on January 14, 2010, 17:03:49
And now I'm back again. Went to make a cup of coffee.  :evil:



I do think that Kevin cracked a wonderful set of jokes. I did laugh!  ;D

Perhaps it would have been better on April 1st, though?

You were such a good friend...

Post by: Stuart2007 on January 14, 2010, 19:11:50
Perhaps a Goderator can make this a sticky topic and EVERY member can post his or her own comments about how absurd it is.

"I've no idea who you are, but I'm going to miss you anyway."

I do wonder one thing... Why no Germans have enquired why this gentleman thinks Germany does not have the internet, except in a few off places.

Especially for bald men.  :evil:

PS Kevin, I shall miss you dreadfully. That is, I won't be doing the "missing you" very well. That's because I have no idea who you are/were.

Did you like marmite?

Why are we all taking the mick out of someone just because they are leaving?  Did we take the mick out of Captain Sasha?

Come on, let's calm down. It's no wonder people are leaving, when some of us are essentially saying, 'Goodbye and don't come back!'

I hate to think how many people have gone without even saying goodbye...
Title: Re: I'm leaving you.
Post by: mvsmith on January 14, 2010, 21:11:17

Because he was never really here.
So far as I can tell, he never even tried the demo. He was just a troll.

If you Bing Kevin1gamer, you will get more than 5000 hits from all the forums he chats on (mostly about himself).

He admitted belonging to 485 forums and running at least one.

He has been banned from some of the forums, and his wiki has been closed by at least one host:
http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:SS_Free%27s_official_wiki_got_hacked (http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:SS_Free%27s_official_wiki_got_hacked)


He has heard that “several people in Germany use the Internet”. They must all be members of this forum.

Well I'll be damned. (and frequently am)

Do you realise that this is the first time in the history of... a long time... that everyone has actually agreed on something?!!!

(except McG, but he is just being polite)  :lol:

Oh dear..

I hate forums, I mean, this is the only decent forum in the world (except for some of the fan ones). I'm not talking about the forum itself, but the attitude at this forum is so much better compared to some other ones. (Won't name them) But you'd be surprised what I've seen let fly by the mods at some other forums.

can someone please tell me what ss free actually is?

I've had a look at their forum, and I couldn't actually work out what this dope is even TRYING to do.


EDIT: Perhaps his website belongs in joke of the day!... "Today the SS Free is often considered a social networking website, and is talked about across the globe, we never forget where we came from though."

http://www.drivehq.com/web/kevin1gamer/ssfree/Main/ssfreeabout.html

Started 2006... Jan 2010 still reads "under construction"




edit2: http://pwSpambot.ipbfree.com/index.php?showtopic=4   you will really hate yourself in the morning if you miss the chance to read this one. Absolutely amazing... He is being stalked... called a transvestite... no reason for it... except that he has a girl as his avatar on a forum... but it's perfectly normal. Apparantly.

Don't be like that, Su..

He's got 13 members already..   ::)

I sure hope the acting chairman and the active replacement chairman and the inactive replacement replacement chairman can handle it when he's abroad. Well they do have most of the year to get to grips with running a globe spanning social networking website....  ;D


I reckon it'll be okay.


Fred.

For the benefit of anyone missing it, I shall re-quote it:

... Yes, but 11 of them are 'staff' members ;)

Fred, I think we've all had great fun here ridiculing this pointless person. This dubious dope, and funny fu.. [thats enough]

but is this really worth eating up Vsteps bandwidth for?

Just to be on the safe side Erik, it was a pleasure and a priviledge having known you!  May you rest in peace!

Nope!
