Oh Arni =( It is so sad that it had to come to this for you. Especially as RB holds so many wonderful memories for you..and is of course a very special place for both you and Niamh. So its such a shame that those memories had to be tarnished by recent events..to such an extent that it has now caused you to leave completely
( ... )
I've come to the realisation that it has indeed been something that has being going on long before this. I've stood toe to toe with the mods (especially Locksley) before with Iain, so it was a long time coming.
I would love for you to stay in contact, you a lot to me/us, and I agree Rb does not need us, nor do we Rb. I have other friends that haven't set foot there in years. And I'm quite sure our friendship will not suffer from us both departing.
I feel actually somewhat relieved now. "Like a great weight had fallen of his shoulders" or something like that as when Bilbo leaves the Ring.
I have long let go of RB since everyone I know and care about from there has either left, or is contactable in other forms. RB's haydays are over. It was a nourishing centre of social activity back then, but now it's hardly even warm let alone nourishing. Then again, I don't share as many memories as you and Niamh must do about RB and it's a great tragedy to see you leave RB.
I'll just keep you perched on my LJ friendslist though since that's the main way by which I communicate with you anyway =)
I'm glad to be on your flist. I might actually make an effort and post more often ;-)
And I'm very much looking forward to catching up with both of you when we get to Aus again :-D you both are as delightful in real life as online :) (I was going to make a smartarse half as well as you should like thing but I got tangled up in words)
OK, as being one of the aforementioned people who hasn't stepped foot on RB for years...I have no idea what happened, but! I am sorry that you had to leave, especially in anger and disappointment. Man, and I thought it was just me who went toe-to-toe with the mods :P
Man, the last fond memories I have of RB were the days for the Dark Lordess, huh?
Ooh, what's happened? I don't post on RB any longer myself, but I'm saddened to hear that you left in trying circumstances... but still, I suspect I'd agree wholeheartedly with your reasons for leaving! I'm glad that we can stay in touch via LJ and such, because you and Cami are some of my dearest friends I've made on RB. :) I look forward to catching up with you soon to reminisce on our times of pissing of the mods together and whatnot. ;)
I have not the heart to tell you, for me the grief is still to near. ;-)
As for catching up, definitly looking forward to that. I was bitterly dissapointed we couldn't make October, but March/April is the new target, giving us some extra time to save up and plan.

Well, whenever you two manage to get back here, it would definitely be lovely to meet up again =)

Yes, I did mean you as one of the people who've stayed in touch over the years (and boy am I glad you have).
I loved our Dark Lordess days! Those were a blast, I should check on my old computer, but I believe I saved some of it.
*arni goes all mushy* I'm so lucky to count you guys among my friends.
it's true though, thanks guys!

I'm glad we have, too, Arnikins! And yes, they /were/ a blast. A helluva good time!
*hugs* Aww, Mushy Arni! You and Cami are The Awesome, and I'm lucky to have your guys as friends, too!

Hugs all round!
