Sooo...Balloon has made the decision to leave the MPH/chatzy for good. He originally left for a few days after being frustrated with certain users (NOT pointing fingers here), and he eventually decided he liked it better being gone. Let's just be glad he's leaving quietly, without a fuss. And dammit, nobody better overreact to this. I'm doing everything I can to keep this tame and not have a big problem over it.
Now, the one issue with this is that Balloon contacted Ninja saying he would like to be removed from all future SotW/SotM/SotY polls, even though he will most likely continue to make MPCs. Now, I don't see any problem with this, he asked nicely and isn't making a fuss about it. Ninja said the only reason he's reluctant to do it is because "75%-90% of the users wouldn't agree with it." I honestly think that most of you won't mind it if there is an explanation (which is what this is), but in case Ninja is right...consider that he's asked nicely to be removed from the competitions, and for whatever reason he wants this...well, we don't need to know, but I think we should let him have it.
EDIT: The final resolution is that balloon will be included in SotY, but afterwards all future competitions will not include balloon. If anyone has a problem with this, they can speak to me privately.

I've been talking to Ninja, and he said he wanted to see how everyone would react to it. He's not really against it. He was just worried things would get out of hand if he was just randomly taken out without an explanation.
Anyway, it's a shame to see Balloon go, but if it's what's best for him, then there's nothing we can do.

I was talking to Balloon, and I agree that it is a shame to see him leave, but I can certainly understand why he would want to leave.

Well it's his choice, not ours. Let him leave if he wants to.
Though it'll be a shame to not see him in SOTW, etc, if he does leave.

Either that, or he's floated away... Bye, balloon; visit anytime you wish.

This makes me immensely sad. I'm still completely stunned about this even after being told about it a couple days ago... Things won't be the same around here at all :-(

I'm honestly glad to see that everything has been resolved to the best of its ability.
WeeJ, you handled this really well. And I'm sorry for putting you through the trouble. D:

Well, at least he'll still be making MPCs, so as long as we're still subbed to his youtube channel, he'll still technically be around (in a composing sense).
It's sad that we won't see him around here though, but we can't forget what he's been able to make during his time here.

Looks like I'll have to subscribe to him to catch his pieces then. I would facepalm, but since you weren't here all of 2009, I can understand why you would say that. Normally, I'd be like, "WHAT HOW ARE YOU NOT SUBSCRIBED TO BALLOON SHAAAAAME" but seriously, you have to check out his videos.

Wait what
I really hope I wasn't one of those "certain users" that made him leave. Sometimes I was a bit hard on the guy, but it was all in jest ;_;
