I love this community because it is that...a community...the majority (99.9999%) are the coolest, nicest people I've ever met on a Forum. Practically an extended arm of my family...so when I saw one of us was leaving it was a sad moment. Glad to see you're returning CC.

As you know, you are my brother in more ways than one and I am really glad you have reconsidered. If you left, I think I would have probably had to get really ignorant and make some noise about keeping under 18 out of here( they know who they are)...but I would understand your reasons. Just know that you have a ton of folks here who support you and we are here for you! If you need anything you have all my contact info!! Heal up and come on back when you are ready! I'll be bugging you on FB..

C.C., count me in as one who is happy you have reconsidered. Keep in mind this forum is growing so quickly that most of the names we see are newer ones. As the forums grow there will unforunately be members who are too quick to say the wrong thing and even quicker to try and start a problem where there shouldnt be one. You're value to these forums is well known to all. Hang in there.

I'm so glad that you decided to stay C.C. you are an invaluable part of this forum and we would certainly not be the same if you left under these circumstances.Let this be a lesson to those who go spouting off without thinking of the consequences of their words and what other people have gone through or may be going through.

CC,

I got in on this late, but my heart sank when I read you wouldn't be back. You are one of the primary reasons I hang here - you truly are one of my buds, and I'd have an empty spot without seeing your posts.

I'm glad you decided to hang around. You never know what kind of an inspiration you are to guys like me when I read about some of the sheist you've had to go through and can still come out with your head held high. I send mojo your way everyday that you and your bandmates hit it big and that you have success in every part of your life.

I look forward to someday having my stage pass when I come to visit and see one of your shows, and you won't have a bigger fan in the crowd.

Hang tough my Brother,

Rick

I wanted to mirror all of the positive comments already posted on your behalf. This is a better place with you around and I'm glad you've reconsidered. People like you are the reason I hang around this site.

Wishing you the best.

Thank you folks, I will be sticking around, just sore, personal topics making me act irrationally, thank you for understanding!! And thank you for the kind words.

*Brad please lock this too as its topic related to the rest and lets get back to business around here.*

Thank you all SO much. I love every one of you.

CC you're definitely right about exrpessing your opinion. My mother committed suicide when I was in middleschool and for the longest time I couldn't get over it. I use to believe that it was all my fault for not fully understanding whats going on, even though I was just a kid.

Your a great guy, and know that we'll always be rooting for you.

I'm so sorry to hear that jimbo. Thoughts and prayers are always with you from this day on.

CC, you made the right choice by choosing to return -- you're a hugely valued member here and I'd be disappointed if you were to let this one (admittedly sizeable) bump prevent your further participation here. I'm locking this and would ask that we move on to lighter topics and an enjoyable weekend!
