Today is miles07's last day online, and thus his last day online for a very long time, as he's leaving for his mission. I speak on behave of everyone who's ever gotten to know miles07 here at MHQ when I say that he will be sorely missed. MHQ won't be the same without you man; you're a part of this place now, and that place will be sitting here waiting for you when you come back. I'm gonna miss you buddy.

ADIOS!

*sob* *sob*
Goodbye Miles. We will be eagerly awaiting your return

Me too... :( :( :(
*runs to bathroom to grab tissue* *Bawls* *marks calender on April 25th, 2011*

Goodbye Miles, we will all miss you!

We will keep the light on for your return.

So why is he leaving for three years?

Mission, though I never got the point of them.

Mm, a mission.. right

I know what you are thinking, a mission?

Miles doesn't go on just any missions, He gose on...
ZERO MISSIONS

Try June 1, 2011. I'll need at least a little bit of a "tolerance" level in order to (1) get back without any messups, (2) get back accustomed to life at home, and (3) finish any special treats or other projects that I might share with you guys.

But yeah. I was planning on doing this long "eulogy" of sorts, just a bunch of short messages to each member (that deserves it), so I'll let loose.

~0~


MetroidMaster1914:
You did it. From humble origins, through strife and tribulation, to this - MHQ. I know you don't like people bringing up past mistakes... but you have redeemed yourself a million times over over what happened with SCU. And the world is all the better for it.

MetaSamus:
Wherever you are, this is the place you should be. You were there at the beginning, and you should be with MM1914 until the end (may it never come!).

Anubis:
I guess it was your attitude I was trying to emulate since I first got here. Hmm. You're not too bad. Long live.

SM-X:
I wish I could've known you a bit better, SM-X. All this time here, and I haven't completely gotten a full picture of you, the real you. Perhaps that'll change in two years, huh?

Dragon:
While you may not be the oldest member on the forum, you're still a fatherly figure here. Live up to your name, dragonhearted.
And good lick with Project Dread. I'll be cheering you on from afar.

Gendreavus:
Glad to have a guardian spirit around here to keep things in line. Don't give up the ghost on this place, please.

Shrander:
You're a great watchman for this site... but, eh, loosen up a teeny bit, okay? MHQ isn't only about business. It's a place for Metroid fans - in truth, anybody! - to hang out and have fun. It doesn't mean people should be keeping an eye on the rules every second they're here, but at least you're there to remind them that there are rules. I salute you.

Emperor:
*slow military salute*
You deserve it. Long live.

Purple Pox / Hyper_Shock:
It's good when your mind can be in other places at the same time. But then life passes you by most of that time. I feel you need to take good care of any assignment you get, Pox, in any aspect of life.

Lucifuga:
You've been here just about as long as I have. Now you'll be here longer than I. Hang tough.

GammaMetroid:
I remember when you and I were newbies on this site. And look how far we've come now. How much farther can you go? Forget about any "finish line" - this isn't about time. It's about distance.

Axion:
I can believe you've been here for a shorter time than I have. Well, MHQ's under your care. Sustain the Admins, and support the Mods - you can do fine here, can't ya?

Dreadmaster:
If you read this... could you stay on MHQ for longer lengths at a time? You post, like, twice a month. Don't let MHQ die.

Tenka:
How I would love to see Metroid X finished... Will it be waiting for me by the time I come back? Don't drop the things that you've put your heart and soul into. Metroid X is one of them.

Kenneth the Kid:
I didn't get to know you too well, perhaps because we miss each others' posts so often. When I get back, I'll make sure not to repeat that mistake, eh?

Communist Shark:
Hehe, I gotta admit the Sovietmon group was a nice idea. Y'all oughta have your own jackets for that.

Anti-Prime:
iPod art is awesome. Especially yours. Keep practicing that artwork of yours. Who knows what else you'll be able to do when I get back?

Strike-Freedom:
It's been a while. Stick around for a while longer here, eh?

Tana / Pirate Queen:
Girl, I view you like the "little sister" in the forum. But one who plays videogames as hardcore-ly as the "big bros".

DarkSamus:
Keep practicing that Flashpoint. Fly_Boy needs to have some sort of healthy competition.

Gearmaster:
When I first met you, I didn't exactly get good vibes from you. But I feel that all worked out eventually. Good luck, in whate'er ya do.

GlassPirate:
I miss your caramely insides. And your humor. Please come back, return that long-lost piece to MHQ!

Rewrite:
Your work on the 5th Anniversary is legendary. Will you be making something else in a future Anniversary party? I hope so. I'll want to see it when I get back...

Hudson Platt:
Cloverfield was great. Wish there's a 2 soon.

KillPanzer:
Sprite ahoy. Anyone and everyone should go to you for those wonderful custom sprites.

Adorios The Metalloid Assasin:
Retroid Studios may be going slow, but don't give up! Classic is the best stuff for anything.

Sylux125:
You rule. 'Nuff said.

Kuro-chan:
You rule, too. You rock out loud.

StrafeHunter:
We shall meet again... Long live.

Spectre:
Like a ghost you pop up, here and there. Perhaps you'll stay around and pop here more often than in other places, eh?

Supersamus:
I regard you like a kid brother. I leave all of my Metroid-related sprite work to you. Just be sure to give credit where it's due.

fly_boy42:
Ay. What more can I say to you? You're my antithesis - the yin to my yang.
The forum (except for Axion) loves you. Make friends, not enemies?

kenji imatake:
M5F, and FSMR - I expect great progress while I'm away. ;)

To all else:
Long live MHQ.

This is Miles07, signing out for the last time in 2 years.


♪ Well, now it time to try and brave the flames...
Let's see what life contains... ♫

Gaaawwww PASTA! I missed it! An hour late! Beans!

Oh well. Miles, wherever you may be, I salute you. Remember to have fun for yourself every now and then too!

Dang it... If you are still here goodbye! I will miss you... If not, my computer broke so I couldn't say goodbye yesterday!

I'll miss the times we had together Miles!!! You inspire me so much in the metroid spriting world. Hopefully I can crank out something really cool before you can comeback.

That... Made... Me... Cry...... I'll miss you miles! (wow, 2 years seems so long off from now... :( :( )

well, i think i logged on in just the right time to say goodbye. maybe 1 day off, but good nough, be sure you dont forget about this place!

I agree with most of what he said.
Alright!
DS! I choose squirtle, which pokemon do you want?

Ack, can't beleive I didn't get into this topic sooner! See you in 2 years Miles, have a great time, and I'll miss you. :(

I think I speak for everyone in MHQ when I say this Miles, You were one of the best members MHQ could ever have. We hope to see you sooner than two years. Try getting internet connection wherever you are eh?

I teared up. out of all the people on the short messages... I was the last on there... like the last metroid. I am a little bit late... and I seriously regret that. during now and 2011, FSMR and M5F will be something... that the world will really appreciate. in your absence, I will try my best to get more things accomplished by 2011. we will miss you... Miles.

GoodBye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will miss you. you are a real talent here on MHQ, and on Retroid/Radiant horizon. i hope you find internet connection!

:( -_- :ph43r: :mellow: ^_^

good luck, fella.

Bulbasaur so I can KICK YOUR A-Z (that was not a Friends reference)

Miles, I will kill a character in my novel and dedicate it to you. If I'm still around in 2 years, we will meet again. *does the fingers in the swivel chair*

Ah damnit, I forgot to say see ya. Well, I'll say it now, even though I'm late.
See ya.

Gah! I didn't intend to miss this topic by several days... Well, see you in two years Miles, if you get to read this. :P

stop saying goodbye to someone who is gone.
Want to say goodbye to metasamus?

We are only showing Miles the proper respect he is due.

He's not a god, he wont know, nor care.
If you really want to help him, sacrifice a fox.

Goodbye :( :( :( I will miss your helpful tips!

Man, am I late

I've been thinking of miles for the past few weeks...sadley I'm not into metroid as much sinch he left........I guess that could be a reason for ZL?

Yeah and members have not been as active and topics are left unanswered. Did miles take all the fun with him?

I think you're putting too much stock into miles. sure he was a nice guy, but that was it, he was one guy. Do you honestly believe that the main reason you liked metroid was because of some guy on a forum? And do you also belive that the rest of us are failures at life compared to him?
Think about it, don't just say things that make "sense" but aren't logical nor true.

Its not just Miles. Quite a few members have left.

And quite a few cool ones have joined too.
Look, why don't we have a most like miles07 contest to name a new miles07 so you guys can stop claiming that his absence is the cause for everything that is wrong in your life. My money's on emperor.

That is wrong in so many ways...






...that it might just work!

no one can replace miles though... no one can.




... but I have his avatar as to not forget him:

You see, it's that kind of talk that is ruining the atmosphere of this forum. Stop putting him on a pedestal and acting like he died. There are other cool members here and I'm sure even miles wouldn't want you to sulk over his absence. Go Idolize MM or gendy or something
