Sadly - It's time to say goodbye

Tatty_One · Jul 21, 2009, 11:14 PM

Hi all,

I have been a member here for 3 and a half years, along that hardware and overclocking journey I have made many many friends (as far as friends can be on the www!), even those that I dont know well enuff to call friends who I have much respect for will be sadly missed but I must say a fond farewell to you all.

For those of you that know me well..... you will know that i am old! have a fairly demanding career and also have a family and a granddaughter, the mix of all these elements are increasingly making it difficult to spend any really usefull time on TPU (ATM most of my time on these forums is spent during my lunchtime at work)....... TPU is the only forum for me that really matters, it has taught me so much and that journey has been a pleasure, especially in the company of many of you....... I do feel however that I dont just want to be a "hanger on".... if I dont have the time to contribute meaningfully to the many threads in these forums I feel that I am letting myself down as much as my fellow members, so i feel it's time to make the break and "call it a day".

I am not really into drama, many of us go back a long time, to those members I would like to say....... It's been a real pleasure, there is no doubt in my mind, this forum remains the best on the Interwebz, for those of you that i dont know quite as well...... It remains a pleasure, and to anyone (albeit it VERY rare) that I have had minor differences with during my stay here..... thank you also, you all know who you are and I am not going to name you, lastly i would like to thank the awesome moderators (without exception) here that truly define the quality of this forum and it's "family atmosphere" but finally I must say a very BIG "thank you" to W1z, who through his wisdom and perseverance has made this community what it is today.

Thank you all and goodbye

LifeOnMars · Jul 21, 2009, 11:19 PM

Never really conversed with you mate but you are a known "name" on here and will be a loss. All the best bud.

MoonPig · Jul 21, 2009, 11:21 PM

Good luck matey, and remember to come back when you have the time!

farlex85 · Jul 21, 2009, 11:23 PM

Best of luck to you Tatty. Who now will get all that well binned goodness I wonder that you leave behind.

Paulieg · Jul 21, 2009, 11:23 PM

We will miss you Tatty. You know that you are always welcome here. Take care!

Jul 21, 2009, 11:27 PM

Wow i havent been registered here for long but i have been visiting TPU for 2 years now andf have read many a good post from you Tatty, all the best mate

Reefer86 · Jul 21, 2009, 11:28 PM

p_o_s_pc · Jul 21, 2009, 11:28 PM

you will be missed best of luck to you

JC316 · Jul 21, 2009, 11:31 PM

Ah man! Another one bites the dust from the class of 06. You will be missed big time. I remember trying to beat your old 4000+ San Diego chip in super pi with my Venice 3800. I joined a mere 6 days after you. You will be missed, I always loved your posts.

hat · Jul 21, 2009, 11:38 PM

And real life claims another...

You'll be missed, tatty!

Darknova · Jul 21, 2009, 11:39 PM

Well that sucks...

Good luck with everything matey, and I'm sure I can safely say that we all hope you come back at some point.

imperialreign · Jul 21, 2009, 11:39 PM

It is a sad day to see you go, man, truly it is . . .

Wish you the best, man - take it easy, don't work too hard . . . keep things in perspective . . .

. . . and always know you've got a home here at TPU - should you ever feel like returning, we'll keep that front door unlocked for you, just in case!

Take care, man!

trt740 · Jul 21, 2009, 11:42 PM

To my oldest and dearest friend on this forum and the person who taught me how to overclock. I would like to say a heart felt goodbye. This place will truly be poor without you here. I will miss you the most of anyone on this forum you old monkey. I can finally put my anti itch cream away. Bye old friend.

t77snapshot · Jul 21, 2009, 11:43 PM

I have read many of your posts here on TPU and I know I speak for everyone here that you have helped us all out greatly. It's sad to see you go and best of luck to ya

ste2425 · Jul 22, 2009, 01:20 PM

never really 'conversed' but you have offered me some great advice in the past, best of luck mate

King Wookie · Jul 22, 2009, 01:25 PM

For the short time I have been here, I've always enjoyed your input.
Thank you for making this place so much richer.

JrRacinFan · Jul 22, 2009, 01:25 PM

Loved your silly antics man. You are great, much respect for you.

TheMailMan78 · Jul 22, 2009, 01:27 PM

WTF Tatty. I have everything you do minus the grandchild. I still find time for TPU. Of course I haven't fed the dog in a while..........I wonder what that smell is.

Anyway man I hope you at least stop by ONCE in a while and check your PM's and such. The occasional "drop of knowledge" you provided was always a breath of fresh air among internet smog. I'm still a noob but without guys like you on TPU I would have burned my house down by now. Thanks man.

newtekie1 · Jul 22, 2009, 01:31 PM

Sad to see you go Tatty, your posts were always informative and you contributed a lot to this forum.

I hope you will still stop by from time to time, and I almost know the pull to come back will grow in you until you can't resist it...I know how that happens...

Even still, if you have the time to just make one post a day trying to help someone, you should, it might make the difference between someone's problem being solves or not.

Very well agreed. You see these forums differently than most, almost as a dedication, and it is sad to see you go. There will be a massive loss of intelligence in your leave.

Stop in once in awhile to say hello.

Triprift · Jul 22, 2009, 02:12 PM

All the best Tatty you will be sorely missed by all of Tpu community.

Jul 22, 2009, 02:15 PM

Take care, tatty, Ill make sure your 260 runs for as long as possible. You'll be missed mate. Your one of the people, along with Jr that I can remember talking to from day one. Always a friendly face and willing to help out, weather it be comparisons between C2D or C2Q, or trade advice - you've always helped me out and for that I say thank you.

I have everything you do minus the grandchild. I still find time for TPU. Of course I haven't fed the dog in a while..........I wonder what that smell is. Anyway man I hope you at least stop by ONCE in a while and check your PM's and such. The occasional "drop of knowledge" you provided was always a breath of fresh air among internet smog. I'm still a noob but without guys like you on TPU I would have burned my house down by now. Thanks man.
