I’m genuinely sorry to hear this.
There’s a short list of people on this board who, when I see their names on a post, cause me to think, “Okay, this should be pretty good.” You’re one of them.
Though I have to ask:
Shouldn’t it be “larf”? 
Don’t let the door hit your ass…
No, wait, that’s not right.
Don’t go. Seriously. It would be like having an SMDB without the B. Or the S.
Straight Message Dope?
Message Dope Board?
Aw great. Been offline for several months, I’m finally able to come back to the boards and I find out you are leaving. I didn’t scare you off, did I?
Ah, but if you leave, we will have one less issue possibility to be informed about and one less opinion to balance. Probably. 
Just to keep you around a little longer, let me point out that while Monday is the first day you can subscribe, your account won’t actually be “turned off” until April 21. 
FFS, who will I stalk around the boards now?
We still see you over at nads?
Here’s hoping your addiction overcomes your better judgement ;).
But if not, fare thee well - you were and are an invaluable part of this board :).

It’s OK, because none of this is really happening; I’ll wake up in a moment.
Hey, you non-Irish Irisher!
I raise a pint of Harp to you.
I shall always remember our wonderful game of e-mailing false facts culled from the Dope to hundreds upon hundreds of people as an experiment. Every now and then, I reforward it to some new group I pull from someone’s e-mail headers.
Good times…
Dude, take a good long break but please think about coming back, 'kay? I wouldn’t beg just anyone.
Sorry to hear it, jjiimm. There is no escape, however; in response, I shall redouble my efforts to stalk you at NADS. 
Nooooooooooooooooo! I wish you hadn’t told me that.
Seriously, thanks for all the nice words; you’re all being way to kind. It’s like being able to attend one’s own funeral and hear all the eulogies (pron: “yougooglies”).
Anyway, the reason I came back (just one more hit, I promise, just one more…) is to apologise for not thanking all the dopers who’ve been so thoughtful, shown me how to debate properly by example, made me giggle uncontrollably in the office, helped me understand religious thought, changed my opinions, argued political viewpoints that are anathema to me in ways that allowed me to understand you, etc. etc. I can’t name names as there are too many and I’d be worried about missing some very important people out. You rock. Thanks too to the people who were such thundering idiots that I was able to practice and hone the fine art of the withering put-down.
Right, off into the real world now.
It’s very bright out there. 
BTW, I shall still be available for children’s parties, weddings, and bar mitzvahs over at NADS.
This is indeed a sad day.
First they vote Ethan off on Survivor. Now jjimm voluntarily leaves. In both circumstances, I ask the same question:
Who’s going to be the eye candy now?
Best of luck to you, jjimm.
Vaya con dios
Grrrrrrr. We’re a week or two behind you. Grrrrrrrr
I meant to post here but somehow it went into ‘Post your goodbyes to the SDMB here’ (post #35).
Similar sentiment to jjimm, though I’m sure I’ll see him around.
Oh. Oh!
Did I write “Ethan”? Ha Ha Ha! Actually I was meant to write “EVAN.” And when I say “Survivor” I was talking about this local game show modeled after the national, er INTERnational series. You probably don’t get the Ohio one on cable so you don’t know who Evan is.
No?
Sorry, mate.
No probs. It’s a very easy thing to do.
