I am very sorry to say this... (Read 541 times)

[captnowen]

... and it also makes me extremely sad. But as you most likely already recognized, I didn't have the time to come online here again very much even though I planned to do so. The reason is, that I became an admin on the German Touhou forum, which recently "died" because of a virus. Our main admin, who is the only one with access to critical server files, lost interest in the forum and so we (the two admins who are left) decided to make a new forum.

Now, after founding the new forum, I am in charge of maintaining it and won't have the time anymore for two forums.
I know what you might think now, but no. I in no way am trying to compete with Luny by making a "better" forum than he does. Luny has much more experience with being a forum admin, than I do, so I would lose anyway. Also, it is a German forum, so we are not planning to get members from all over the world anyway (they are free to join, as long as we can talk German with them, ofc).
Well, I hope you understand my reasons and won't remember me as "that guy who wants to fight our forum", as this is not my intention.

It is very hard for me to leave Lunatic Red, I really loved this place. I had a lot of fun talking to you and I am thankful for the time I was able to spend here.

One last time, I want to thank
LunyRed for creating this forum and being an awesome admin,
Adauchi, dango, DDdreamer and Baron Sengir for being great mods
and everyone else for beinging a nice and friendly community here.

If you would like to stay in contact with me, either add me on Skype (captnowen or ryuugu_reina) or on MSN ([e-mail]).

I will really miss you guys. ;(

Farewell, everyone.

See you again in about 2-3 months. XD

I know the fun of being a forum admin, and I'm sure no one thinks you're trying to compete with this forum. German touhous need a place to be German touhous, right? We'll miss you, but yeah, no one ever leaves for keeps. :3

Good luck with the new forum~

[Dark Chaos]

Good-bye captain. You will be missed. And good luck.

[kaossakana]

damn, it's a shame to see you go.
Well, i hope to see you again on the internet soon. Maybe we'll talk in skype.

wat are you talking about? what I need is not other German touhous, it's people I feel like I can compete with and look up to as shmup players. I couldn't care less if they're German, Japanese, Norwegian or Spanish. as ridiculous and arrogant as it sounds considering my terrible skill-level, but I am the best German touhou player I know, so I doubt I'd have a place there. it's not about nationality, but rather what you care about in the fandom.

that said, I don't oppose the idea of a German touhou forum. I just don't think the forum'll grow too much considering the size of the German fandom. just saying :V

and I don't think anyone ever thought of this whole "forum compete" stuff. it MIGHT be, if yours was a international, but seeing how this one's open to every, but the German one only limited to people who..well...speak German, the thought of having the 2 forums compete is silly.

Personally, I have no doubt you'll return. I will be honest: quitting a forum is more difficult than it seems. I have tried many times in another one and somehow always wound up going there anyway :V like genichiro said, see you in 2-3 months, really.

[LunaticFireEyes]

Aww.

Well, do what's best for you, I guess. Good luck.

[captnowen]

Well, this was an extremely short absence. XD

I got my forum running and it goes quite nicely now. Of course there are still things I have to change here and there and we still need a nice design, but it's not like I still would be too busy with it. So I have time for LR again.
You guys were right about the fact, that I would return, but I really doubted, that I would. ^.^

Somehow this forum just attracts me magically, like a black hole. I would miss some people here too much.

tl;dr
Done with setting up a forum, so I am back.

Owen and out.

[rjagda]

Welcome back!

[kaossakana]

KICKASS!
I guess we figured you'd be back, but not THIS quick. XD

[Genichiro]

Well, someone better pick up that phone, because I frik'n called it~ :3

Welcome back, captain. :3

[scam]

dude you never told me you was on this forum, and a admin on another one. wtf is up with the sig too, you damn well have my skype contact info and should've hit me up earlier.

anyways..it's a good thing you didn't quit this forum now, cause i got back into my touhou craze and trying to 1cc every single mode on every single game, so looks like I'll be active here

[captnowen]

Hm... maybe it's my Alter Ego... Or I am schizophrenic. Who, me? Yes, you. No, we are not.

Owen and out.

[Masatog]

Here, I was one of those silent individuals who thought you were also going to be back~ Likewise, I didn't think you would be back so quickly as well, haha.

As I would say to any other members, welcome back to Lunatic Red~
You cannot escape!!
