So I realized that I never did make a proper farewell to this place that was my home for so long. Man, I grew up with this place. I can scarce believe that I was only 15 years old when I first joined this forum. I'd be lying if I didn't say that it affected me a lot as I grew up and has absolutely contributed to the person I am today.
There are many things that I can reminisce about, especially as I am one of the "oldies." Waiting for Kaito (Nirvana) to log on to teach me the basics, failing my first sensei test (I cried), and chatting long into the hours with so many people on MSN. Man, I wouldn't have traded anything else in the world for that feeling when I first became a sensei. I was so glad I could finally help so many people learn. I am very fond of days where I logged every day and made sure every single thread was updated and every student was attended to. Thank the Lord that Gobi and ZK were there to save me as my first Senpais when I had far too many students.
Of course, I love the RP just as much as everyone in the community. Although I did not graduate with an English degree in the end, I can definitely say that this place has brought a tremendous amount of joy and creativity in regards to writing. There is nothing more exciting to me than to be able to shape a character the way you want to and pit them against the imagination of another. Remember that if you're not enjoying the RP, there's something wrong!
Finally, while I am glad that I have been able to leave so many of you with a positive experience, I must also admit that I grew up with this place. I've had my ups and downs (you know, those edgy teen days) and I do have regrets that I still harbor up to this day with choices I've made in the past here. For if any of my decisions have impacted any of those that are active today, I sincerely apologize. There is nothing more than I would like to reconnect/connect with many of you and stay in touch for the coming years and future.
A little bit about what's going on with me. Yes, I'm old now. The existential crisis is about to hit, haha. No, not really. But my career choices have sent me down the path of law and if there is anything I could ever do for any of you in the future, do not hesitate to let me know. It will be busy, painful, and I will literally have no life. But I believe the end will be worth it because there is nothing more that brings me joy than to be able to help others.
In regards to RP, I probably won't be back for awhile. I never really placed an emphasis on customs, as most of you may know, but for the ones I do own, feel free to use them. Consider them donated! (Or whatever Chris says, he's the boss!) And my poor CFS that was never used.
If you would like to stay in touch, send a PM any time. Email me, Facebook me, Discord me. I don't want to forget you all.
I simply can't write enough about all the wonderful people here. So here is a list of everything I can think of at the moment.
Also, don't forget to have fun, everyone! Again: If you're not having fun, then that's not RP at all! Good day and farewell.

I simply can't write enough about all the wonderful people here. So here is a list of everything I can think of at the moment.
Akiza: No longer around, but I will forever treasure all the times I had with her. One of the best Sharingan users to exist.
ScaryYamato: A true inspiration for all who had the honor to interact with him.
KeotsuEclipse: I don't know if you're still around, buddy. But you're the first person I ever spoke to on here and I will always remember you as one of the best and most inspiration RPers. Especially with that samurai sword.
Detective L: I'll never forget the first days I trained you and then our amazing Minato Namikaze test. You're an amazing moderator and sensei and I'm so glad to have met you. You've definitely long surpassed me and you're going to ace university.
Negative Knight: Your book suggestions are the best and I'm still trying to complete the Dresden files collection. Better keep up your writing and start sleeping early!
Gobi: We may have drifted apart in these years, but the times I had with you and ZK are some of the most fondest times in those days. I still remember one of your first profile pictures, actually. Training you was some of the most fun I had. I wish you well in your future endeavors.
ZK: You've always been an amazing writer. Thank you for all your help and support in the past years. Like Gobi, I wish you well in your future endeavors and the community is blessed to have your talent especially with all of these NW updates I can't keep up with.
Solf/Shikamaru Teagury: You're hilarious and I hope you're still around. We had some really great times back then. You really like all your bios, don't you?
Shinta: I hope life is treating you well, old friend. I remember you sharing some of your life awhile back. I'm sure you'll be successful in all you do. Thank you for being one of my greatest senpais and RPers. I am honored to have known you.
Alternative: So, uh. I lost my Discord again, but we need to talk still. Akihiko is still the best.
Riker: You know where to message me any time! I bet you're acing your college classes and driving Chris nuts as usual. Work on that RP!
Broly: We don't talk much, but I've always respected you in my own way. I wish you well, good friend.
LonelyAssassin: You will always be one of the members I remember the most on here. Don't ask me why, you just do.
Mathias: Thanks for everything! I remember those days where you, Chris, and me would stay up long into the night chatting. I honestly miss them so much and I hope you're doing well.
McRazor: Don't think I'd forget you. We had some crazy times back then I'll never forget.
Jokey: Your encouragement and support is something I'll never forget. I don't know if you're still around, but thank you for all the times here.
Drackos: I've always known you as an ambitious person. You're definitely going to go far in life and thanks for keeping the RP alive still!
Daemon: I bet you're memeing into the late hours still. Lawrence.
Imperfect: We never talked much, but your writing has always blown me way! Thank you for keeping the RP alive.
Mudo: Likewise, your writing is spectacular. You will always remind of Ulquiorra. Keep it up and I wish you the best in everything!
Jakai: I'm also sad I never got to talk to you much! I'm very glad the community has you.
Method: My god. We had some really great RP back then, didn't we? I hope you are doing well, good friend.
Sharingdork: I don't know where you've gone old friend, but I hope you're acing whatever you're doing out there. Who am I kidding, you definitely are. Some of the fondest and unmatched RP memories I have had are with you.
Scorps: You did so much for the community when I was on hiatus. I didn't think I'd find myself writing one of these someday, but here we are. Life goes on and I'm glad we can stay in touch.
Vex/President Bush: Are Kevin and Chris giving you that earful still?
Pekoms: I bet you're being an overachiever as usual.
Kevin: Stay in touch! We need to hang out still someday when I'm not broke.
Chris:
Of course, I have also had the great honor of meeting Penguin, Souji, and Edward in person. They are wonderful people (except for Edward) that I would never have met had NB not existed. As Souji, Edward, and I all live relatively close to each other, we will definitely be keeping our fond memories of this place alive in the coming years. Come visit us in California any time!
It's really late here and my brain is dying on me. I'm sorry if I didn't get to mention you! The rest of you: Ian (what name are you using now?), Deviation, Cobalt, Nathan (please don't tell me you're still addicted with Saber), Vegeta, Teno (don't drive people too crazy now!), Ushiro (Godot #1), Gutsy Jiraiya, Anbu Junior, Houdinii, ZandaT and Vayne! Lot of others who I can remember certain memories, but I can't remember the names. :[ But I'm so glad to have met you and it was a privilege for me to have been able to battle, learn, and train with all of you.
Shoutout to all admin and staff as well. Z, you're the best. Ira, you keep those crazies in check. And don't forget to slice some nasty pirates out there, Caliburn.
Final note: I guess everyone knows at this point that I'm female. You can stop shipping me now.
:kk:

Also, don't forget to have fun, everyone! Again: If you're not having fun, then that's not RP at all! Good day and farewell.
