Well a couple of my good friends on this site have convinced me to stay. I also now see the people who really don't like me ,and I'm glad I know that now.
The thing I need support with, if ya'll even want to help an ******* like me, is last night after I signed off the computer I realized that my wife and child weren't home.
Earlier that evening she had taken him and her parents to get some ice cream at a small family run shop.
So I called on her cell phone and there was no answer, called the grandparents, no answer.
I went out there to see what was wrong and there had been a wreck killing my wife, mother and father-in-laws. For some reason God has blessed Mike and he is in ICU, most likely going to get out in about 2 weeks!
So, like I said before this site helped me get my mind off Mike and will probally slowly do the same for Stephanie, I hope. This of course is a little more insane. I can't take off from my job, because of the bills and paying for the funeral, so I will be on 3/4's of the day anyway.
If you have any suggestions on how to get through or just have a comment, please post it here.

The responses on this first page are to the original post of Shumate leaving the forums, not the tragedy above.
When I leave I will be taking the Features forum, and the artists with me. Which really does suck for this site becasue I had about 10 artists ready to come, 2 or 3 have already joined. I'm sorry, I will not sit around and watch this place fall like it is already showing signs of.
Well Shumate, I'm sad it went like this, and I'm sad about your new site. I was with News much longer than you, and trust me, News was never this good.
That said, I have never posted in nor viewed your features forum. You have no friend in the MTG art world, and someone will replace you as the pathetic envoy to the Artists. I signed up for your site, but I plan to post, and I have reason to believe I'm not alone, as the accounts you''re giving to have a conspicuously familiar posting style. You know, the "not" one. As in nobody seems to care about your site, and entrance seems to be a sideshow to the raffle. I hope I win, but I dout you'll even put my name in, since you're getting more power-drunk than S_S was.
Do not attempt to create drama from a minor event just to steal users. It will not work and just makes you look like more of an ass.
And BTW, I retract my PMs. I judged you right the first time.

I have no extendo-sig. Sorry, I'm just not vain enough to think someone will click on it.
I like to pretend that people actually give a **** about whether or not I post on a website. I make lots of posts so obviously my opinion matters. You should come to my site so that I can be the most popular girl in school.
Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
I've set up forums too. However, I dont think that these forums are going to die, and I do not want to subtract from MTGs. As well, my forums skin sucks.
EDIT: I may sig my forums tho, have to decide. But I will not post threads advertising it and I will continue posting here unless it goes really rotten.
EDIT: Im so sorry about ur family. I couldnt even imagine having that happend to me.
Shumate - As ANY of the staff will tell you, Xen was far from telling the whole story... You can't hear one person's side on an issue and just think that it's true.
I'm not sure you ever had the artists willing to come in the first place... *shurgs*
What is going on? Are your seriously surfing the web when your family has been torn apart?
in case it "dissapears" -

Ok,

Only thing I noticed is that you're the most active poster, and that's saying a lot because there are a LOT of forum addicts around here. My only suggestion is for you to get off the computer a bit and help change a few diapers! Your son will never be 3 weeks old again.
I thought I remembered you.
Not to be an insensitive bastard, but yeah, if my wife + in-laws died, I would be bumping my trade thread too.
It's just a little too much for me to swallow... but, I am not nor hopefully ever will be in your position.
Rather than be a complete ******* like the majority of the staff that've posted on this thread (wow, there's the people that you want representing us):
I'm really sorry for what's happened to your family, I don't really know what else to say other than I hope Mike is alright.

check the edit time on the post of Shumates, you'll see most of the people in this thread posted before he changed the first post. The thread used to be about him leaving and taking all the artist he was gonna bring to the site with him. So, shup and stop being so bitter. Your act is getting tired, and it's obvious most people just dont care anymore.
And staying back on topic... (You aren't helping to settle the deal down either Liverpool)
I'm sorry for your loss M Shumate :(, My heart goes out to you... whatever you may need in mental support I'm sure the community is right behind you on it.

You're just as bad as Xen.
Hope you enjoyed your advertising Shumate, and when everyone leaves after the tenth drawing, I'll look foward to seeing you back here!
