I have no idea what's going down with you John but know that I am pretty sure I speak for every one of us connected to this site in any way at all possible that we're with you. Whatever you face, you don't face alone.

We'll wait for your return. Damn. Down

I understand you have a lot to digest, analyze and troubleshoot. Please know that you will always be a GREAT factor in the success of PO as it is now and as it will grow to be. You will not be forgotten nor do we wish you to forget us and I only hope that time will be able to heal all things that are troubling you. I understand your need to do this, but please, don't stay away too long.

An amazing person once sent me these words from a wonderful song:

"The answers are getting harder and harder
And there ain't no way to bargain or to barter
But if you've got the angst or the ardor
You might faint from the fight but you're gonna find it
For every challenge could have paradise behind it
And if you accept what you have lost and you stand tall
You might just get it back and you can get it all
So now you know why it's a long way to fall
Yeah cause it's a long way to fall "

Ive known you for a long time now, longer than pretty much anyone on this site. please know that I will ALWAYS be there for you, and my cell is open to you. Just send me an IM or call me collect, and Ill call you back so that its free. Just dont disappear on me, no one can replace you ya know...and I cant just run up to the video game store, or up the road now, to hang out, so please dont just disappear...it would be a great loss to not just me, but to everyone here, for missing out on getitng to know an amazingly terrific person, and your art skills will definitely be missed. Love ya John ~huge huge hugs~

"In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold, hotel room,
And the endless loss that you feel.
You were pulled from the wreckage, Of your silent reverie. In the arms of the angel,
May you find...Some comfort here."

You will, as Doot said, Always be a part of PO. We will always know you, and hold you deep and dear to our hearts. Hard times may come, but they will pass. We'll always be here. I admire your bravery, going off to take care of what you have to do. Just know, that when it's all over, come back to us. We'll never forget you. Ever. I know that you're an extrordinary person, just from reading your posts. These words may seem hollow, or maybe petty...But they're from the deepest parts of my soul. I wouldn't say them if I didn't mean them. I know I speak for every person on this board when I say that you will be missed. The PO family just isn't quite complete without you. But we know you'll return, and we'll hold faithful, waiting for your return, no matter how long it takes...Forever if we have to...But for now, take time for yourself. Deal with your stuff. We all have to do it, sometime. It'll be tough trying to do without you, but we will endure. You will always be remembered. And I try to say something now, something that can portray to you the tears in my eyes, knowing you're leaving. Something that can make you know how much we'll miss you, and how much you mean to us. But the truth is this...Words fail me. That's mainly due to the fact that the bond between us all is so great...And I hope you can just know how I feel. I wish I could guide you through everything, but the truth is, I can't. I don't have the knowledge. No one does. We all walk our own roads. Every road has a bumpy place, a rough spot. Everyone has their hardships. Good luck.

We love you.

God bless.

i know that its not my job to pry, but what happened to Chibi...and why did he leave? And why, in his last post, did he say it was painful to come here? Like i said, its not my point to pry in the affairs of other people, but its just boggling my mind so much. So you guys can answer me, or you can just leave the reply box empty, but i just wanted to know.

Tobias, don't think I'm a dick or nothin but just let sleeping dogs lie.

I myself don't know the full effect of what's going on but realize that John needs this and there just ain't stopping him. His reasons are his own and that should be good enough and exposing them may make others feel bad.

So lets just wish him well and hope for the day when we see his art in some Spider-man comic or something.
