Its time for a change...Goodbye
« on: July 12, 2008, 04:01:33 PM »
Fellas its been a long fun ride and a lot of us; myself included want to keep our close to our friends and not have so many people, servers, and problems to worry about. I am stepping down from my admin status in the clan as well as my membership in the clan. As pcgamer has stated in his post...
I have been noticing a drop in this clan's activity for a while. A clan is much more than gaming to me, its like a family where I not only game but laugh and have a great time. With the amount of people leaving that family has broken up.  No one scrims now and even if they do its nothing but whining. With the amount of people joining this clan I think it has become a mess. One line I really force is "I like a clan in which you are a person not a number."


For me it seems like no bullshit has lost site of our family like state and turned more towards being the worlds greatest gaming superpower. People have tried to better the clan with their own suggestions or ideas, but they just get shot down. For some no one would listen and they would just be called a "whiner". I really hate walking out this way, but there are a few things I just cant stand anymore.

If you want to know a good chunk of why i'm leaving here is my post: http://www.nobsclan.com/forums/index.php?topic=4643.msg35637#msg35637

For that matter many have already posted their own feelings. With the amount of people able to make change in this clan being gone all the time, i don't much hope of anything getting much better. To be honest i don't see much hope in any change, obviously there will be minor changes immediatly just so people get some what happy but, in reality will be back to this point in a month or 2 doing the same thing again. I've dreaded posting this or even think about leaving a clan i've helped start and build up. I feel I can do no more to help when i could use a little help myself. When close friends start to leave because of the same problems they state to me, I feel obligated to start something new where we can keep the close friendships and not have a 100 person family to worry about. Like I have stated before after talking with thana, pc, syn, as well as other people who didn't join the clan because of problems that can be easily seen, they really put this clan into perspective for me.

Bottom line is some of these people feel the same way I do. So we share a common interest and want to keep those who we have gotten to know best together. We are forming a new team for the close people to us. (You know who you are). I'm not encouraging anyone to leave, this is a great clan, but i personally feel it won't last unless drastic changes are made. If you feel the way some of us have expressed in our posts' in the thread mindfreak's vent your not alone.

I'll do this pc style

Smitty: Known you for quite a while now. I hate to do this, I don't want hard feelings or to argue any. Its been fun building this clan but, your busy all the time... I know you can't help it, but it hurts. Thanks for understanding during the change way back and times in between, and having trust in me. Keep in touch and take care.
Sounds: Knew you from smitty you did an awful lot for this clan for awhile and then you ran into smitty's problem and had to move, work, and play wow lol. Anyways it was nice having a good friend there for a while and got busy. What do you do? Take care keep in touch.
Werth & Danglez: You guys are both like hockey family and gaming family to me. Who am i gonna be able to talk about hockey shit anymore?  :( Know you both very well can talk you you guys anytime and you'll understand. Gotta be a hockey thing. Some people will just never understand some of our phrases. This clan could have went cookie jar, yet it pussied out and went 5 beans haha jm. Take care of yourselves hockey gets busy in the season, so keep me posted.
Ku@to & Spartan: Hate to do this to you guys as well, gotten to know you both very well, make good friendships, and almost got to meet in person haha. Anyways you guys are always there for me hope this won't change much. Your always welcome to talk with me and chill back and relax a bit to talk and what not. Hope to actually meet some day.
The Army: Hate to do this to you as well. Hope we can still play rock band or other games on xbox when your on. Feel free to talk to me when ever you know how to contact me.
Pitbully: Lol i still pwned you. Have fun playing you got busy to sometimes. Not much you can do about it, it just happens. Have a good one.
Knott: Good player to be around have fun and competitive... funny when he's high in mumble. Good times together.
I agree with pc for what he said for falls & kevlar:
Call him a douche, call him a retard with a lot of attitude, but he was really close to me and he left for the same things I am leaving for.

Rasp: Good to know you your a hard worker. Glad i saved you from ER servers lol. Hope this was fun for you. Your a good friend of mine keep in touch.
Baim: Take care man best EU friend i'll ever play with or have.
General Jelly: Good to know you, you left ER for the same reasons as many of us original No Bullshit members did. Good friend, recruited me back then Thanks.
I-C-E: I could go on and on and make fun of you again but i'll just keep it short. Noob. Have fun.
Simon: Probably don't know you as well as i should but your a funny guy.
Yourmom: Still got the funniest sig. Have fun with whatever your doing xfire me if your ever on.

sorry if i missed you. Wont post the people who are coming with me.

I'm sorry to those of you will will be greatly affected by this. I'm just not in the mood to do it the way were going anymore. 

ShadowGunner.

I would also like to take this time to leave NoBS as well. I believe that "the family" as it is referred to as, just is more business than anything. I really didn't want to have to post something like this, because I've got to know so many of you. Although some of you, I have faught with, it was still awesome playing with you.

The main reason I'm leaving is in-activity. I'm sorry, but I'm tired of being in such a big clan, where nobody is around honestly. Now I know it is summer right now, but these changes started to occur before summer. I was tossing and turning about leaving for a while now, and somedays I really wanted to, others it was just a small thought. Although we refere to ourselves as family, for a while now, I didn't feel like a family member. I felt like an outcast, and wasn't having much fun. Theres alot of people that I'm gonna miss.

I'm not going to go on to name them, because they know who they are, the people I got along with, shared laughs with, called a hacker to, been called a hacker, tanker, and w\e else we had to say that made us laugh. The hardest part about leaving this clan is knowing that I won't be able to hang with you guys that much, althought I might visit the pub occasionally, and come on mumble. I do not want their to be any hard feelings between myself and all of you. I just hope that when people leave, that you take a look at why, and try to fix it, through the almost 6months(3 more days and it would have been 6months) their have been changes, I must admit, but none seemed to last. We had great people, now we hardly have anyone on anymore in my personal opinion. I am not trying to bash NoBS, because alot of you helped me learn many things in game, and out of game.

To alot of you I was either a pain in the ass or a good guy, well either way that you saw me, I have nothing bad to say about any of you. I tried to inspire change, but the changes that needed to be made, were not acknowledged, instead their were posts about mumble. I think alot of people in NoBS just wanna pub it up and have some fun, and go for it. For me I want to be more competitive, and scrim more, and such.

I have had a blast here, I wish you all the best with everything. So, I'll be seeing you around. No hard feelings.

I have lots more to write, but as it turns you all decided to do this when I had dinner plans, but fear not I will make sure to let you know some things when I return.


Glad to see you all go, please try and recruit as many nBS| members as you can.

Hope you have lots of time and money to start your new clan I have already seen you start, good luck with that.  We will except a few of you back, if and when you decide to come back, for the rest of you. Good luck, have fun.. 

We had some good games, but most of ya just whined and whined, so I'm actually glad to see ya gone. I wont mention any names, just to keep this "friendly"

wtf is going on?! people are leaving like a killing spree?...
we have a couple of active members, but now people start leaving.
but anyway, Bye Shadowgunner, I might see you in the future.
EDIT: to smitty: We can recruit people to nBS| members, but the people that left we're for a quite long time in nBS, the old generation is falling apart.
and of all the people that are recruited to member and RS|Member I only know like 4 or 5 of them...
what I mean is, they never get on mumble, or never play against them. such things like that

Truthfully, I don't find it surprising that so many people are leaving. Huge clans are not fun clans. Clans are supposed to be 20-30 people MAX, imo. Just really a close-knit (sometimes dysfunctional) family of gamers. Yeah, some clans are in it for just extreme competition, but i like it better when we're just in it for fun. I was in FCF back in the MOHAA days, and i saw them go through the same thing. The clan got too big, and the clan essentially fell apart. I left when times got hard, and i still regret doing that. It's best to sit back, weather the storm, and let all the people leave that want to leave. Then once the smoke clears, I can guarentee NoBS will be returning as the same great clan it's always been.  That's what I plan on doing, and like i just told smitty, i'm gonna do everything in my power to help the clan out. I'm working now and can't be on most of every day, but i'll do my damnedest to get on after supper to help populate.

Shadow, I'm pretty sure you were the guy who brought me here last summer. I left because I wanted my own clan, which was so incredibly stupid. I came back this summer because I re-found how awesome CoD 2 is, and just wanted to be back in the clan. I haven't seen much of you around, but you're still a badass and i loved playing with you when i got the chance. Enjoy your new clan, man.

MF, you are probably the only guy i've made friends with since i've been back. I feel like you're really the only guy that's been on enough, been on mumble, and just been a generally cool guy to me since i've been back in the clan. I looked forward to the challenge of playing against you anytime i got on the server. It sucks to see you go, man, enjoy your new endeavors.

DK, shit man... You and XSV were two of my best friends my first time around. I always loved playing with you, and was glad to see you were still around when i came back. It really sucks to see you go man, but hopefully i'll still see you around.

I'm sure there's gonna be plenty more people leaving before the end of summer. I think come september or october, we'll be able to start rebuilding the inner workings and getting everything back to where we want it to be. I know i'll stick with you guys this time (even though school is gonna kick my ASS this year...)
