No drama or meltdown or "request to be banned" or anything like that.

But I don't want threads popping up wondering where I went.

This is my last post. (I won't reply to anything here.)

I just cleaned up my PMs - deleted all incoming and outgoing messages and emptied the trash. I won't read any new PMs either.

I never got much traffic from the forum and always viewed it sort of as a way to "give back." Hell, most guys didn't even know about my blog/podcast, as I so rarely promoted myself.

But when an issue came up, I didn't receive the support I expected.

Basically, I was told I am "on my own."

Which is cool. I'll do my own thing rather than contribute here.

Anyhow, no biggie.

I sincerely mean there are no hard feelings or bad blood. I like all the guys I've met and have no regrets.

But since a lot of people PM me, some might wonder what happened.

Anyhow, take care guys!

Mike

I'll listen to the podcasts and contact you on that.

Regarding people just leaving, I guess after a while, a relationship runs its course and others run their personality from another platform.

Hence it is life. I enjoyed some of Mike's posts. Reminded me of Hooligan Harry no bullshyt no chaser.

Respeck!

No idea what you're talking about. Are you referring to the "I'm in jail prank" Roosh did? Because lots of guys supported you when you said you didn't like the prank, you got over 40+ likes if I recall correctly.

I think it's kinda lame that you leave over a grievance without even explaining what that grievance is, but if you're gonna leave then thanks for your contributions Mike. You've definitely helped a lot of guys here, including myself.

MikeCF, you'll be missed.

I don't know what the issue was, but please know a ton of people really appreciate everything you have done.

Thankfully, you have your dangerandplay.com site where you drop great knowledge and share your experiences.

Be well.

^^^ It's not that Samseau. Related to some stuff that went down on twitter. Since Mike didn't choose to dwell on it here, I won't either, but suffice it to say the fury of the manosphere was unleashed to help out less deserving people. Or alternatively, people who could have helped (easily) did not for reasons only they know.

I appreciated your stuff Mike. I look forward to reading more of your material on Danger and Play.

WTF does twitter have to do with this place?

Mike - you're a great poster and will be missed. Thanks for all your input!

Post: #13

Sorry to see you go Mike. Always enjoyed your no BS style and copious information drops. Have to admit--it took me 4 months on this website to realize you even ran Danger and Play blog. So I will definitely be following your future work on the blog with the great podcasts and high quality articles.

Here's some more background for those who are interested: http://dangerandplay.com/2014/04/12/resi...anosphere/

Probably better to comment on the D&P blog link above if you want MikeCF to be able to reply - since he's already stated he won't be posting further in this thread.

Quitting the forum because of Twitter??? Mike, that's kinda lame man. Twitter sucks. Regardless, please link me to this because I want to know who these losers attacking Mike are.

Post: #16

Read on his blog Danger & Play and you'll know.

This is a sad thing. MikeCF is one of my absolute favorite posters here.
I'll definitely follow his blog. His stuff is golden.

I still don't get it. These are all problems with the likes of Mark Minter, MRAs and whatever. Even that Tucker Max thing hardly has anything to do with our forum. If someone really needs to be angry at someone, it's certainly shouldn't be at Roosh or the posters gathered here.

Oh well.

Reason he's leaving is because people have been stealing his content and no-one has backed him up. People have gone the opposite way and been sucking up to those stealing his content, including users of RVF, so he feels aggrieved and has decided he no longer wants to be part of the manosphere and is going his own way.

I don't live on the internet, Twitter especially. Pretty lame that Mike bases the Manosphere on Twitter.

A far smarter move would be to quit Twitter rather than this forum. I'm pretty sure few of the good posters and strong men here even check Twitter. Basing the manosphere on Twitter is ridiculous.

Mikey, what the hell is going on? I feel like you're laying a guilt trip on us. Who told you that you were "on your own"?

Are you talking about the dorks who were biting your stuff on juicing? As I remember it, people DID support you. But beyond sympathy and moral encouragement, there is little else we can do, unless you contact people directly for specific things.

If you want to go in a new direction, fine, that's your right, of course. I don't know why you have to close the door here.

I hope you will reconsider your decision. You do have many admirers here and I think you might be overreacting.

Strange, but Matt Forney was just talking along the same lines about the Manosphere.

He's annoyed that people who are supposedly manosphere aligned are making money off his content, it's not the first time it's happened either. I think one hit, he kind of let it blow off and took the apology wholeheartedly but the second time, he's decided it's enough.

I think Matt Forney's post nails it.

It's a shame Mike that you are leaving. You are one of the best posters here. I am not sure many posters here even know what's going on with people stealing your content. As QC said, I hope you reconsider and come back here.

Thank you for all your inputs. I wish you the best.
