So it comes to this, "PunisherAB's Exit Address"

[PunisherAB]

I would like to state that this isn't a result of Deathspwan's contest. This is just my feelings i had, that I been having since Dec 07. I'm serious about leaving and to prove it I written an address about my departure.

If E_G wants to close this thread due to it's a attention thread...so be it.
Also if any of you all want to bash or flame me...go ahead.

See ya all later. :cool:

[shadysaiyan]

Farewell AB, i can say that i think that you will do great things in your future! Farewell friend :D

[Ninjamojo27]

*cries*

Imma miss you on here. I still will see you in AIM though.

[ELCrazy]

Are......are you serious?

Farewell Alex......


So the comp is off, I guess?

[Dersnap]

No... :(

I will join your site and I will be active on there, I promise. :)

[Radioactive Bob]

Like i said on AIM, its gonna suck not having you here, since you're one of the only people that remembers what VG was like when a box wasn't about looking "professional" or "official", but was about looking creative, and unique. You're also one of only people that strays away from the bland and repetitious concept of current boxes, and you always tried something different, and off the beaten path.

I'll still talk to you on AIM, and i'll still kick you're butt on Brawl (lol), and i'll be talking to you soon on Xbox, so its not really goodbye, so instead, congratulations on your time here at VBoxart, maybe you'll stop by to comment some boxes sometime.

*salutes*

[KoopaDasher]

Farewell, Mr. Buell. You were one of the few people who never changed their own style over the last year, regardless of what other people were doing. Good luck with your future endeavors, and your future career. No doubt I'll still see you on AIM.

[Ervo]

Cya later mate :) I understand why you are leaving this site...

[Ayron]

.. this makes me sad.
It's awful to see you go, and, as i don't know if i've been respectful enough in the past, i'll try and stick to that, in honour of PunisherAB and all other elders.

This is not a farewell, but a goodbye...

[DrDoomsday]

Wish I'd got a chance to know you man...from what I know you're a great guy ho makes great boxes. I'll miss you.

[TwilightMystics]

I'm really upset about this, I've always admired you, you're boxes were one of the few reasons to join this site.

Well, all I can say, about getting respect. I've always felt you and some other long run members have been ignored due time, even though they made huge contributions to this site.

Good luck with you're future in the media, which is also my future, I'm going to study Game Architecture and Design. I hope you continue your Kingdom Heart Unlimited project, which was/is awsome.

Thank you for your help on boxes, for competing against you in contests, suggestions, comments on my boxart, fav on my boxarts.

Goodbye Alexander Buell, see ya on MSN.

[GuitarMan]

man the place isn't going to be the same without you. you were one of my favorite artists. Just remember to pop in from time to time and say hi.

[milkyoreo27]

bye punisherAB... gonna suck not having you

[Saint]

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I like you, you are always pleasant, and never start fights. Plus, you are really good. bye... *sniff*

xDDDD
But I hates to see you go :(

[Hellstorm12]

i agree with punisher,for example,i barely get attention on my boxes,why?cause someone else more "popular"would make a box,then thats where all the attention goes,for example i recently made a hitman box,marker made a resident evil box,so how the hell is it that in 3 hours i only have like 4 freakin comments,but in 1 hour marker has 20 something,doesnt make since.

Because we're all incapable of looking at more than one box, right? I'm sure in those three hours, every user online was staring in awe at Marker's box.

Three solid hours of staring, and drooling.

oh please!what the hell does that mean,"and we were staring in awe"i think thats bullshit,you guys cant take a look at someones box if he's not someone like marker or something,this is what makes people quit so much,cause yu guys cant even take a look at a box if its no "HOLY CRAP THAT AWESOME!!!"OR SOMETHING,that makes me so mad,cause i probably put just as much effort in my boxes that MARKER does,just my 2 cents

[Ninjamojo27]

Guys guys GUYS! This is a leaving thread. Your supposed to give your farewells, not agrue like kids. And Slyder, what you said in your last comment, totally just proved Alex's point. Goofing off in a serious thread, thats just disrespectful to Alex.

[Hellstorm12]

/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\/\ youre right sorry,well so long pal.

[L3EM4N]

hi PunisherAB and fairwell , can't say i ever new you but after reading your leaving speech i wish i did , anyway it looks as if you'll be really missed , so i wish you all the best for the future m8 , cya

[Ladykiller]

Sad to see you leave, man. I've always admired the amazing level of creativity you put in your work and I'd just like to say that I have great respect for both you and your work here in the site. Best of luck on your future projects and feel free to contact me via AIM (lionheart603) any time. ;)

"Oh no! Some guy is going to quit going to an internet community!"

How can you refer to this as a serious thread? XCore's thread is serious.

This is a bunch of kids on the internet crying about their e-friend, who doesn't care enough about their e-company to continue spending his time on a message board.

Also: Attention thread. I've never understood why someone has to draw a line an STOP going to a message board. If you don't feel enthused about it, just stop going as much and check back every couple weeks whenever you're bored. It's not some sort of drug, it's not smoking. You don't have to cut it out of your life and quit cold turkey.

Moreso, those images where HUGE. I was interested in reading them, but couldn't, because of the size. My post wasn't "Goofing around," it was a legitimate response to what Punisher had to say.

And it was one of the exact reasons why he is leaving.

[TheSlyder]

Really? I recall him making a thread complaining because he wasn't popular enough. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else, though.

Anyway, if you can't handle some jackass on a message board making jokes and cutting up then you really shouldn't be on the internet at all. There's a lot worse that you could come across.

[Ninjamojo27]

Are you saying you are acting like a jackass?

[TheSlyder]

Are you saying you are acting like a jackass?

Sir, I am easily one of the biggest jackasses in this community.

[Ninjamojo27]

Fo sho to that.

[DrDoomsday]

Took the words right outta my mouth. You're a troublemaker, aren't you? BTW, PunisherAB, what's your AIM?

[Timmeh]

Ah man, you were one of my favourite authors on this site. It's a shame to see you go, all the best for the future :)

[TheSlyder]

Took the words right outta my mouth. You're a troublemaker, aren't you? BTW, PunisherAB, what's your AIM?

A trouble maker? Of course not. I'm a friendly and respectful person (To those who deserve it.) the thing is that I just have a sense of humor.

It's the internet. Why the hell does everybody take it so seriously? I've been to my fair share of communities, and while I like this one quite a bit, you guys are some of the most overly dramatic, sensitive, people I've ever came in contact with. All it takes is a sarcastic comment about somebody saying something stupid and you guys start whining about it.

Loosen up some. It'll do your quality of life a lot of good.

My AIM is MrPunisherAB. :cool: cya there as I'm gone for good.

Peace :cool:

[VGMaster]

See ya man. And just in case you thought that you were never thought of for a VGBA box, you were on mine, but your art style didn't match. But not the point. The point was, I thought of you, if that means anything. Well, see you around, or not I guess... I'll probably never see you again.

[E_G]

I should've posted earlier. This is a shame but I had a feeling it might happen. If you're unhappy being here then it's your choice to leave. You've been a great contributor and a good friend so I'd believe you're being dead serious with this thread.

Take care with whatever you pursue.

Yo seriously chill out before you get banned.

[E_G]

So Alex are you going to make one last box? It'd be great to go with a bang, that sorta thing.

[Dersnap]

I agree, that'd be great. :D

[DrDoomsday]

He's already gone, I'm afraid:( he signed out yesterday for good.

[TheSlyder]

Yo seriously chill out before you get banned.

I appreciate your concern, but I really doubt that I'd get banned for speaking my mind on the subject at hand, especially when I'm not doing it in a trollesque manner.

Though, I would like to end it with this post, I didn't intend to start some huge debate about my dickery, I just posted something that amused myself. I've no desire to derail or detract from someone else's thread.

(Though, shouldn't this be closed? I've seen E_G close plenty of "I'm leaving" threads. To not close this one would be blatant favoritism. What I'm trying to say is that it would be very unprofessional.)

[E_G]

Reed has a problem with the leaving threads that do not have an external reason and are not sincere. For example if someone crated a thread to say they're leaving obviously as a cry for attention then closed however PunisherAB wants to pursue other things. Also I haven't closed so many leaving threads, quite a few of them were not closed by me.

[Vengeance]

Well it sucks you gotta go man, i hope you have a nice life and your successful. but i agree with you, the site used to be just about having fun, even if you threw a wallpaper on a template people would like it, now it's all about spending 4 hours making a logo or milking some bad joke to get attention. these things make me want to leave as well. i havent been doing any of my course work because i keep coming onto this site too much. but i don't think i have enough willpower to leave.

[TrevOwnz]

Hey bro, throw a IM at me whenever on aim at TrevOwnz89

I didn't really get to be big friends with you but i don't have anything against you either. I think people need to stop fighting so much. I don't see why people bash others so much. I dislike some people on the site but i don't make forums about it and other crap some people do.

im actually tearing up some bye.... :(
