A heartfelt thanks and farewell to GWJ

[size=48][color=red]April Fools![/color][/size]

Did that actually fool anybody?

Yes.

Spoiler:

No.

Son, I am disappoint.

Oh, man. You mean you aren't leaving us? Well put away the champagne, everyone. Just a false alarm.

As the screen was loading I was trying to think why anyone would need to post a farewell unless they were going to kill themselves or move somewhere that has no internet, then I remembered that we are all gamer geeks on this site and moving to anywhere without the web would be ridiculous.

So then I was trying to come up with something encouraging to say in case you were saying farewell to the cruel world.

So here,
Grenn, you have so much to live for! Please do do this. You have friends and family there to support you, to help. we are here to help. Don't go. We love you.

All of this took place in the span of a few seconds as the page loaded and knowing in the back of my head that it was April 1.
But what fun would it be to just write...

no.

I'm so disappointed it wasn't a picture of the Spanish Inquisition.

Nobody expects that...

Well played

lol Thanks. I had forgotten what day it is and to check the internet especially google and thinkgeek for fun stuff today.

You just made my day a lot happier.

It just didn't make sense. My brains were hurting.

Hindsight is "OMG WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!?"

Now I remember I usually just stay off the internet on this day. See everyone tomorrow!

I assume that is always on your mind.

Enough rage for 2 posts.

I just roll my eyes, it is like every 7 year old on earth stammering through the first knock knock joke. Or like when your 80 year old aunt discovers the rick roll. Fortunately, today I do not need to be polite about how unfunny people are and should just take a bath with a razor blade.

Living up to your avatar perhaps?

Perhaps a title change to something like "Leaving GWJ for Suicidal Purposes Catch-All" is in order for future forum cleanliness if this could be an ongoing problem?

I let this one go as long as I could handle. Moving on!
