“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
I know the feeling. The LMBs and then the LMBEs has been a home where I could escape the real world, cast aside fear of prejudices and to be myself, and it's here I've met my first real friends. You're a part of that home, even if you and I never interacted personally very often.

But, in the words from a certain popular LEGO theme here, "The past is in the past, but there is always the future"; you've grown from your experiences here, and I think they'll help encourage you to do great things with you life outside the computer. You've made an impact on many people here, so chances are you'll only continue to make great impacts on people anywhere and everywhere else. If leaving is what's best for you, so be it--don't be afraid to move on and do new things with your life.

Thanks for being a part of this family, Nexo. Very few people will be able to forget you.

Thank you LordTigress! It was fun getting to chat with you in writer’s chat!

Thank you for having me as a part of this family! I will never forget any of you!

Best Wishes! Farewell!

Farewell and God bless you!

It kinda breaks my heart a little every time I see goodbye post or topic. Although I don't know you as well I would have liked to, it is still hard to see you go. The main characters of two stories on here are based off of you, that's pretty amazing. You must be an awesome friend.

I will admit, I don't fully understand yet why people leave, probably because I don't intend to do so myself. I have been miraculously fortunate though, many of the active and top users are my friends, and have been for awhile. A good number I actually met on the LMBs and Lego Galleries, and we've stayed in contact for a few years now. I do worry about losing contact with some of them in the future, but I'm also very hopeful, I plan to meet up with those I'm closest to someday IRL.

Goodbye Nexo, I hope you do well in whatever area of life you are going after.

Thank you for your kind words, Ninjagofanmam! It’s heartbreaking to have to write these.
I am honored and grateful that people have thought me a good enough friend to put me into their stories like they have. It’s something that honestly means a lot to me, and something that I honestly still don’t think I deserve...

I wish you luck with your adventures here on the LMBE’s, and hope that you are able to maintain those friendships!

I also wish you all the luck in the world with publishing that story! From how excited and passionate you sounded about it, I’m sure you’ll do great as a writer! [y]

It’s been a pleasure, ninjagofanmam! Good luck and farewell!

You're welcome! I can imagine.
It's really awesome though.

Thank you so much! Farewell to you as well.

Hi Nexo, I don't think I have had the pleasure of meeting you before, I was on the old LMBs as well. Anyway, I would like to thank you for helping make this forum active.

Farewell old chap!

Sadly, I don’t think we have met, but it’s always nice to see another former LMB user.

There’s no need to thank me, as I am alas only one small part of a larger community, whom all deserve the credit for that. But it’s been a pleasure nonetheless to be a part of this community, and I hope that this place will continue to grow and expand long after I’m gone!

Farewell to you too, A4 & Sawmerlin!

*Salutes you* ''Farewell''

(Part 1/4)

*sigh*

How do I do this? Let’s drop the facade...lower the mask...let’s be human for a moment, not a username and profile pic...

And that’s not to say I’ve been fake. That’s not to say that in the many years I’ve spent on the lego message boards I haven’t been me. Because I have been me.

No, I just wanna be real, and human here for a second...down to earth...because I’m not overdramatizing this here...this...this sucks...this really hurts...I’m in college and I’m telling you that I feel like I’m about to cry, as I’m writing this in a note before posting it on the boards...

Because, wether you believe me or not, the truth is this is so difficult...like, how am I supposed to just say goodbye to a place and to the people that has/have had such an impact on my life? There’s so many thoughts, so many questions rushing through my head right now.

So I posted a retirement message once already...aren’t I overdoing it with a second one? I don’t wanna seem like I’m begging for attention here...

Do they even remember me? It’s been five months?

Where did everybody go?

Tad left? How could I have missed that?

Do I really want to do this? I mean, it’s hard to stay active, but really? There’s no turning back here. If I do this, I do this. No logging back on. No being semi active. I’m saying goodbye to people I’ve called my friends for so long...forever...REAL PEOPLE behind those screens, more than just usernames. That’s something I think we forget too often. That behind the username is a real person. This is it. This is final. No turning back. No changing my mind.

Look, I said I’m gonna be human with you guys for a second, so let’s do this...

I wish I could...I could just paint the perfect image for you guys of what this place means to me...of what this place is to me...

So...please...bear with me here as I try...

Hold on to something, this is gonna be a long one...multiple parts, so get those eye drops ready...

Eh, I left on short notice.
