The new people don't have the final say in everything. It's just when the mods do have the final say, they just start having their say somewhere else and we have to start this crap all over again :rolleyes:

What I don't understand is why we allow the children to dictate what goes on on a forum that was around before they were even born. And Webkinz im sorry if you find me salty, but I'm the only person who will speak up. I know for a fact that many long standing members don't come here specifically because of this new era of smurf. We've had this talk before, guess it hasn't sunk in.

Yes! Thank you!!! There are plenty other places to go to for the attention you want. I have been on here since I myself was 14 but the internet and all was different back then. This IS a place for Weird Al fans to talk about WEIRD AL YANKOVIC. What it's become is a place for butthurt kids to come and whine and complain about things. I do the see most of the knowledgeable older fans I used to see on here anymore cuz this has just become like every other whiny chat place on the internet. That has never been my thing. I came in here cuz it was good and was a representation of AL and his goodness. Now it's a bunch of clueless teens going on about how everyone hates them. This forum IS NOT ABOUT YOU!!! It's about Weird Al

Well, now that Teh Dingo said it it kind of became offical... because he created the page.(EDIT: Nope. I'm stupid. He's a moderator.) ANY-way, running outta people that don't hate me. :P (wow-is-me, I know :P)

Nope, didn't create it. Just a moderator. WHiZZi created the forum :)

Then again, I am the creator of this topic, so..... :whip:

To sum it up:
-Just because nobody replied to your post within 10 minutes doesn't mean we all hate you.
-There is nothing wrong with taking some time off from WOWAY for any reason, whether you have a lot going on in life or you're no longer an Al fan or whatever.
-The more often you post about considering leaving or "taking a break" from the forum, the more obvious it is that you are fishing for "No, please don't go!" comments, and the less likely you are to receive them.
-If you do leave, we'll miss you. Or we won't. It doesn't matter. You do you. WOWAY has said goodbye to tons of fantastic, beloved members over the years, as well as plenty of posters nobody remembers. It's still here.

I know - I never said because nobody replied in 10 minutes it means they hate me - when I get a bunch of out pour saying WOWAY is terrible because of members like me it's different :P but I'm liking your comment, because I agree with what you said- I didn't post multiple times I was taking a break, though. Wait - is this directed towards me? I can't tell really... :P And yeah, if I leave no one will miss me, because I haven't been here since 2001, I'm only an occasional, and I haven't done much :P either way, you get a like on this comment because overall I agree with what you said. Also, my initial "I'm leaving blah, blah, blah" post was very wow-is-me and I over reacted, I'm sincerely sorry :)

It's not directed at anyone specifically; those are just things that seem to have come up regularly in this topic as of late. No need to apologize.
