Another One Bites The Dust...

[Ravnos]

I am wearing a grey t-shirt today. My mouse has four buttons and a clickable wheel. I am about to have a sandwich.

Just thought I'd let everyone know what I'm doing.

Why?
You part of the OPT?
If so then thanks, this is just the sort of updates I would like to see

Heh - no it was just more of I find it funny to see threads 'Just letting you all know that I have cancelled my order, I am not saying it because I am angry, or because I want to get a reaction, I just thought I would let everyone know', so I thought along the same lines I would just randomly announce some of my news today, just so everyone knows. I might go and buy some food for tea now, and perhaps watch a little television later on. I should start a twitter account with exciting updates like this!!

The op's bit of personal news was about a pandora, yours is about an idiot, learn the difference.

In both cases, nobody really gives a shit. There is no difference.

I guess Ravnos didn't understand the closure part.

At least now I know if for some reason I have to drop out or I die or something, not to bother coming back here and saying goodbye.
In the last year and a half I have managed to kinda get to know some people here just enough to want to say goodbye if it came to it, as anyone in a "community" would want to. Sadly, more often than not, one or two people say goodbye. Many more laugh, insult, or whatever.

I didn't know you Beepo, but sorry things didn't work out. I was almost forced into canceling myself, but the same Murphy who keeps kicking this project in the teeth managed to kick something for me, and I'm still happily waiting in line. It hasn't been easy for any of us, but I'm glad you have found something that makes you happier. I don't consider someone who changes their mind after this kind of time to have done anything wrong. Like the guy in the other thread who only wanted the Pandora as a MID and finally changed his mind. Nothing wrong with that. Goodbye and good luck to you sir.

Edit: Sadly I think threads like this are what give the trolls so much ammo to use when someone brings up the Pandora's strength lying in the "community". Kinda seems a lame argument after a thread like this.

Agreed.
ALL of the negativity in this thread was generated by other people complaining.

If you don't care about Beepo cancelling (I know I don't), don't post in their thread.

My Macbook Pro died last week, I won't be replacing it .. even though I was working on some iphone/ipad stuff, I can't be bothered buying another Apple right now. So I'm going to go find a cheap Linux netbook to tide me over until I can find a really nice one ..

Hey, with any luck, Beepo was in the first 16, so you'd get yours made on the first day!

Elevator Man: Going up or down?

Me: Up please.

EDIT: Congrats to the original poster.

What/Who is that guy? Hah! I could swear I saw Hunter S. Thompson/Raul Duke with a flyswatter or spatula somewhere in there.

Just to get this straight:

a. You are stating you don't care about Beepo cancelling.
b. You are telling people not to post in this thread who don't care about Beepo cancelling.

Because surely if you followed your own guideline of of b. you wouldn't have posted at all!

I'm posting to complain about the complaining.

Perhaps it's equally destructive, but I felt it needed saying.

Well I'd wanna know if you were out, or indeed most regular posters! I don't see myself as being in a position to have to cancel but if I do I'm certainly going to make a goodbye thread, and to hell with the negative responses. I'm sure there'd be plenty of people happy to see the back of me anyway!

I don't care if anyone cancels or not. If you want to say "Good Bye" that is Ok for me.
Well, even when I would cancel my preorder I wouldn't leave the forum (check my join date, I am here since I got my GP32, GP2x).

So, how about ONE thread? Where everyone can post his good bye? If they want to leave they aren't interested in the community so the responses of the community doesn't interest them, so we need no response at all. Just one thread where we only have posts from users leaving, stating their reasons and telling their place in the Q

If anyone really cares to answer them, then it is personal and they can do it via PM.

'nuff said?

Of course I want to know and understand their motivations for dropping out since I am thinking on developing for the platform. Only a moron who will never understand why they failed wants nothing but good input from a bunch of fanbois and avoids or ignores any criticism. When there is no one left on the pre-order list a proper postmortem will need these threads.

Think on this; Why does every successful corporation have exit interviews when you quit and what value is the information obtained?

In THIS community? Can you think of any single topic that has managed to stay in just one thread?

Because they enjoy putting you through body cavity searches? And, uhh, it's useful to know if you've got prostate cancer or not?

This post is an attempt at levity.

I take a hollistic approach to The Internet. I believe that each and every thread is innately about EVERYTHING.
