I never thought this day would come and I hate when people make these stupid announcement threads -- it always seems like a cry for attention but this site has had such an impact on my life I didn't think it'd be fair to leave without so much as a good-bye.

I can't even begin to express how my involvement in this community has changed my life over the past 8 (?) years! I've been the best man at a wedding, met lovers and my best friend, holly. I've travelled the country and Europe thanks to the kindness of people who only knew me via my posts on this site. I've taken nudie pictures of beautiful women and lectured at a conference on behalf of SG.

It's been quite the adventure. But, alas, the time has come for me to sign-off for the final time and move on with my life.

It is with great sadness and eternal gratitude that I must announce the following:

lil_tuffy has made a new home in the archive for private reasons. We are sad to see him go and wish him nothing but the best. Please feel free to check out his sets and enjoy your time with our hundreds of wonderful active SuicideGirls.

I love you all.

Wow. This bums me out. Wow. I am floored and shocked. I saw this thread and the post and thought you had come to do your mod thing on someone's ass who was posting bad shit about the site.

You will be missed. Greatly!

All the best Tuffy!

Of course I don't want him to leave.

I just don't want to look like the one idiot who fell for it.

Or more of an idiot than I already do on a daily basis. Grrrr.

You can't leave. You would be forfeiting over all of your posts to me. And you know you'd never let that happen.

No, it's for real. Tuffy's business has been taking off and he's been spending more and more time travelling and working and he just hasn't had the time to put into this lately. He's been talking about doing this for a long time, and I've been desperately trying to get him to stay on, because man, I don't have the time to do this all myself, especially now that SG let Bean go.

He's just an idiot for making the announcement without realizing it was April 1st.

[01 April 10:53] shal: dude, you do realize it's april first and everyone's going to think you're joking
[01 April 10:53] shal: they already DO think you're joking
[01 April 10:53] tuffy: oh fuck. I just paid my rent and figued I miht as well do this as well
[01 April 10:53] tuffy: Spring cleaning and all
[01 April 10:53] shal: you're kind of retarded sometimes
[01 April 10:54] tuffy: I shouldn't have said anything. I feel like a big ol' attention whore. DON'T LEAVE!!!!
[01 April 10:54] shal: so you just going to do what clara did and just stop posting eventually?
[01 April 10:56] shal: i am not looking forward to this
[01 April 10:56] tuffy: I don't think I have a choice. I leave for China friday and classes begin Monday.
[01 April 10:57] tuffy: Somehow I doubt access to SG is permitted
