So Long and farewell...for now.

[Blkcasanova247]

Hey there fellow FR fans,

I'm posting this to let everyone that knows me here on the forums know that I'll be taking an extended break from our small and ever dwindling community. I've had some unexpected things happen this year that have changed my life and I'm going to be taking some time to refocus and recharge; I've been pretty emotionally drained. I've been apart of this community since the beginning...since the original Freedom Force Forums and it's been a big part of my life and it breaks my heart to have to leave it now after so many years. I always assumed that I'd be a senior citizen by the time this community finally stopped but we've weathered so many storms...been through so many changes and still the community stands and it makes me extremely proud that I have been a part of it and able to contribute to it and it's longevity.

I've garnered a lot of friends here and I'd like to thank them all so much for being such outstanding people and taking the time to get to know me and vice versa. Courtnall6...your talent and spirit elevated the work of other artist here and made this little game of ours richer and so much more enjoyable. Getting to know you and your work has inspired me in so many ways that I can't express. Beyonder...you're the original gangster of meshing my man. You are totally incredible and put up with all my pesky meshing questions on Skype and didn't loose patience...even when I was drunk...you're a good egg man...now come on back like you said you would. TUE...my favorite Irishman...your generosity knows no bounds. You've given life to most of my small contributions to the community and you did so without hesitation. AfghanAnt...if it weren't for you coming to my rescue...Champions of Freedom would never have been born. Your imagination and sense of color is always astounding. Mursy...it's been a pleasure getting to know you my friend...it's been awesome to see how you've grown as a skinner and artist man. Style...my brother...your support and friendship made this whole journey worth it. Both you and Detourne_me taught me everything I know about nifskope and have been my road dogs from the time I decided on getting Champions going.

Thanks to everyone who's taken their time and effort to contribute to this community...artists and fans alike. Thanks to my fellow Titans for allowing me to be a part of Freedom Reborn and its inception and for keeping us going and finally to all my bro's at Champions of Freedom (Court, Gren, Mursy, Detourne_Me, Beyonder, Yellow Lantern, Mystik, Area, Tap43, JP and Style) ...I'm always a click away. Hopefully I'll be able to return to the community at some point down the road once I've gotten myself where I feel I need to be in my life but if this is it then let me say that it's been a blast kids. Long live Freedom Reborn!!

Sheldon...aka The Black Casanova!

We'll keep the light on for you for when you come back

[Cyber Burn]

Take your time to get yourself back on track, and good luck with whatever path you go on from here. I won't say "Good bye", but I hope I can say "See you later", and "Take care".

[Renegade]

Oh great. I finally get around to checking out the new digs here and it's on the day you move out.    Ah well, take care of yourself man.

[Alaric]

The place won't be the same without you. Take care, come back when you can.

[BentonGrey]

Like I said before, we'll be here when you're ready to come back, and we'll miss ya' 'till then.

[Podmark]

We'll miss you. Take care of yourself and know that there's always a place for you here.

Thank you for enriching our experience here, sir. May your energy tanks be filled to overflowing!

You'll be missed, man. This is still home, when you want to stop in.

Take care man, and I wish you the best.
