As I told Kaith a while back, 20,000 posts is an absolutely ludicrous number of posts. (Over 10% of them are in a particular staff forum! Plus, there are ones in places like here that don't count and others that were deleted, so it's worse than it seems.) I decided to step into (semi-)retirement when I exceeded that number. It so happens that today is the day. I'll be focusing my attention on the affiliated site FMATalk instead.

When does my MartialTalk pension kick in?

arnisador it is with sorrow that you are leaving MT for retirement purposes. I have always enjoyed your input and I hope your endevours with the other part of MT is as remarkable as you have had here.
So long my friend in writing

Well, I hope you pop your head back in here once in a while. After all, there's always more to talk about even after 20,000! I have a mixed view on retirement, not all its hacked up to be, better to stay active. And if I can't retire in real life, you neither in cyberspace. But, I hope you enjoy the FMA forum. :) TW

Oh no! I'm a little bummed to hear this. Even though I'm still a newbie, you have been extremely nice and a great help to me. Good luck with the affiliated site! :asian:

Dude, you just came back from retirement. Quit being a pansy. :whip:

How long until somebody starts another "Who was Arnisador?" thread?

http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21933&highlight=Arnisador

Oh, look. That thread was started exactly a year ago yesterday. Will we see you again this time next year?

Just givin you a bit of guff on the way out. Your presence will be missed.

I am sorry to see you go. Your posts have been intelligent and helpful and you have definitely been a positive presence on the forum, at least for the six months that I have been here. Hope you drop by once in a while.

Hey Bob - subtract like half of Arnisador posts so he'll be under 20,000 and he comes back!!!

Don't be a complete stranger Arnisador, drop in every once in a while!!

If we drop the staff area posts, he drops 4,200 or so from the count.
Also, number went up as we're recalcing post counts across the board.

I was thinking along the same lines as rutherford.

Sorry to see you go.

I always get a shock when I go to user CP and you've repped me. I gain like 2 points of power everytime you do. Who's gonna make me jump now?

I guess it's up to Bob. lol. Get it? Bob giving a rep point? HAHAHA!

OMG That's funny! HAHAHAHAHA

Ahem. Sorry. Seriously, Arni's not leaving. He just thinks he's leaving. MT is Arni's Hotel California.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave....

Mwahahaha!! :EG: See ya soon, Arni! :wavey:

I hope FMATalk is as successful for you as MartialTalk has been. Best wishes, Jeff, and good luck with Wing Chun. :asian:

Dang, Arnisador, and I feel like I was just starting to get to know you!

Maybe I'll have to surf on over to FMA talk to pick your brains...

Hope you stop by from time to time...

You will be missed, Arnisador! I've really enjoyed your posts here, but I think we all need a break from time to time. If I hadn't just become a Mentor, I'd probably be taking a break right now as well. Just don't make it a year this time!

Goodbye, Arnisador! Now I'm depressed- he left when I was on a mini- vacation, and couldn't get this out son enough.:waah:
