A Xanga Thank You & Farewell
Yes, this is the real thing. The other two “goodbye” entries were nothing more than jokes of pee and poo… you forgot to read the last sentence! I don’t need to do one for puke because I’ve already done enough of that when I write on romance.
A lot of people are asking why I’m leaving, and there are three reasons:
Firstly, I don’t want to be in a place where trolls are running rampant and even glorified. I’ve no problem with personal attacks, and in fact, those involving my physical disability are laughable because it only shows inferiority on their part.
There were always trolls of course, but when “elite” perverts like vandave are creating fake identities and exploiting young women to steal their pictures for who knows why (Stealing Online Photos), I want no part of it. When even Paul_Partisan attack people for sport, while also creating multiple fake accounts just to bash me with falsely CREATED evidence for popularity purposes (Paul_Partisan: EXPOSED), a line has been crossed. Pathetic, really.
Yet the majority brush off their lack of integrity and ethics, despite the fact that none of them can write for shit. Why would I want to waste my time anymore?
Secondly, plagiarism. People all over are stealing from me, and it’s unfortunate. I threatened some teenage idiot a while ago and he shut down his site the other day. I’ve since privatized a number of my posts.
Thirdly and most importantly, I need to focus more on finishing my book that’s coming out by the end of the year.
It’s simple why I’m leaving.
To all my loyal friends and subscribers: Thank you, for everything. I’ve really appreciated your support throughout this whole time, and your feedback is the best. Entertaining you guys was a pleasure.
Just remember ladies to take your vitamins after two years of reading my vomit-inducing love stories and junk. You need the nutrition!
But I’d like to keep in touch with all of you on Facebook, so please add me if you haven’t already:

And feel free to e-mail me:
ricky@dearricky.com
Remember to leave your Xanga alias so I might know who you are.
It has been fun. Thanks Xanga!

I'll miss you Ricky
I'll have to resort to stalking you on Facebook.
See you on Facebook, Ricky dear.
It comes time for all of us to leave here, one day.
Your book? Cool! Do you have an agent or are you self-publishing?
WE LOVE YOU!!!
Thanks for the laughs and for keeping this place interesting. I'll miss watching the entire community shit their pants every time you do something.
I'll come to book signing if I get a free copy (I even live in the city so you don't have to pay for my travel fees)
best of luck
bonne chance!
I'm excited for you and your book deal! Good luck with everything! Your presence will be missed here!
I was concerned it was your heath. Oddly I find this entry to be a relief.
One of these days I will open a real facebook, as opposed to the old one I am locked out of and the fake one I made as a joke.
bibi mr ricky
*hug*
Aww I am sorry that you are leaving!! Best luck to you and the upcoming book! Thank you for letting me be part of your blogging life. It was nice while it last. Hopefully one day you will come back. Good luck!
It's cool that you're publishing a book. Maybe I'll see it around.

Sorry you had some problems that's making you leave.

No goodbyes but see ya later.
Hope all is well with you.

You are more fun to read than those assholes. Why? Because you are Asian and you are a Xangaceleb with wicked sense of humor. And how many Xangaceleb is Asian around here?
Goodbye and good luck

buenas noches and good luck don ricardo. i'm sure xanga will miss you.
I learned that during one's "dark hours" is when you realized how selfish Xanga's Community is. People don't care in general.
see you tomorrow
I'll see you in the funny papers.
Good bye, Ricky.
I'll miss your wonderful posts about love and romance.
Best of luck in your upcoming book.
Bye. Don't let the door hit your a...wheelchair on the way out.
Sorry that you're leaving. I'll hit you up on FB.
Hope life treats you well from here on out ^_^
Well, to all those who don't have the respect, adieu!
To those who do have respect, but are handed the consequences of people without respect, I hope you will find the right boat to sail away in.
Sayonara!
We shall see you later, sir. Lord be with you.
))): ill mich you ..
You should keep your site up so I can read it from time to time! I recently discovered your site, and now you're shutting it down... :[
=c
Awww. People leaving Xanga again. -_-
You will be missed here
and I'd like to think you will keep this profile open just to come back and visit once in awhile...
By Ricky -- you will be GREATLY missed. Especially, by me!
I'm going to miss you here on Xanga - but that's why I added you on FACEBOOK! I'll just resort to stalking you there
Hope the book is a big success. We'll miss you.

I wrote a book too, it's called; "DearRicky Isn't Going Anywhere and If He Does Go I'll Be Pissed!" One - Leaving for what? Two - You have a life membership why waste it?
I still don't believe you, farewell anyway.
Although I've not always agreed with your viewpoint, I do respect your ability as a writer. You will be missed but thanks for leaving a forwarding address.
Good luck dude!

I'm not much longer for Xanga myself. Although I'm not to active here these days anyway.
Good luck Ricky. For some reason, I feel this won't be the last I hear of you.
peace and love - brother jonathan
Awww....but I only just recently found your blog!
You are really an inspirational character on Xanga, and it's really sad to see you leave. But you have your reasons, and they're understandable, so if you must go, then go. We'll all miss your witty and sarcastic humor (but at least you gave us the facebook link so it wont be lost forever xD).
Take care,~hedgehog
bye ricky, i'm sure you'll be back!
Best of luck.
I came back and now you're gone. Boo.
I'm Rebekah who added you as a friend on Facebook.
Aw, I miss a week of coming on here and now your leaving?
Miss you Ricky, I loved reading your post. Good luck with your book!
