Announcing my retirement

[gystex]

To all my friends at CHYOO:

The time has come for me to admit that CHYOO has lost its appeal to me, in large part due to the unbelievable apathy of the site webmasters, but also because I find I just don't have the time any more to regularly participate.

I am not leaving because I feel guilty that I've been writing porn on the web, nor because I think we're all sinners who will burn in hell, or anything stupidly self-righteous like that. I'm not leaving because my wife found out or because I'm ashamed. I have simply lost to drive to contribute and the time to spend. It was a great little hobby while it lasted.

Am I leaving for good? I won't swear to it, but if I come back it'll be under another name and it certainly won't be to CHYOO; I'll go to CHYOO 3, which seems to be altogether a much more worthwhile endeavor.

I always hated it when people would silently leave and just let their stories hang, never giving an explanation to those who submitted threads, never coming back to approve them, in short just dropping off the web. I will not do that (though some may think I already have, and to those people I apologize). I have opened my stories as far as I am able to auto-approve threads and approved all those which were waiting. I will no longer be editing threads, however; let the stories grow as they will.

Thanks to all of you who have contributed over time. Thanks to those of you who have received my threads and approved them with praise and gratitude. I feel badly that I am abandoning friends and hope to stop in from time to time.

And so, I ride off into the sunset. May all your sexual fantasies come true, and may the experience not land you in the hospital, jail, or divorce court.

Farewell,

I'm very sorry to see you go. I've enjoyed your threads and stories a lot. You have a good way with girl-on-girl, either with or without a guy around.

One thing I'd suggest is to have at least one active writer turned into sub-editor on your stories.

I'll miss you.

Sorry to see you go, but understandable why you are. Best wishes in all future endevors.

This sounds familar... seems to me that I am in the same boat. I have been on the inactive rooster for quite a while now, but have no plans to officially retire. Good luck to you Gystex. I hope to be seeing you around the forums, if not the site. Your opinio, cooments and other posts are always worth reading.

You'll be missed. Enjoy your retirement.

Well, it seems another one bites the dust, to quote a great man. It's a shame to see you go gystex, I'd say you are one of the few CHYOOers who I'd say make CHYOO what it is.

As I think this is going to be the start of the decline of CHYOO, I'd like to say thank you to all fellow CHYOOers for the year or so of great writing that I've had, particularly to niceguy2002tim, who had the benefit of my first ever thread, Zingiber for a lot of helpful advice when i started my first story, and jakelyon for your inexhaustible imagination and story list!

Yeah, sorry to see you go (and your various avatars). Your threads have been consistantly some of the best. I will miss the many lesbian liaisons that you brought to Chyoo from the hot and steamy to the sweet and romantic.

Thanks for at least keeping the Chyoo principle alive by leaving your stories up for continuation. I still owe you about a million threads and so if I ever again get the work / home / chyoo lifestyle balance right, I'll gladly remind new audiences that they are there.

See you, mate,

PS. If you're still lurking out there, seeing what people put in your obituary (which is what I would do), could you reopen "Isle of Lesbos". I know you didn't like it much, but I did - and I might feel inspired again, you never know!

Gystex,

Thank you for setting a strong example of good writing and of attention toward making Chyoo better.

I wish you more fun and less frustration!

May I beg for a couple of your favourite erotic bookmarks as a parting gift?

(for example, if it were me, I'd nominate http://www.eps.org.uk/ , the Erotic Prints Society... not to be confused with eps.co.uk, the Expanded Polystyrene Group).
