Oh, that's so sad... but I understand how you feel. You did, after all, stand up for me, so I have your back.
By the way, I found this on the Internet. You might want to look at it.

: Ladies and gentlemen,
:
: I began using the online persona of
: Indogutsu Tenbuki sometime in late 2001 or
: early 2002. Before that, I had used an
: entirely different name for my activities on
: the Net. I cannot tell you exactly what it
: was here, but it was formed by combining an
: overused RPG term with my own surname.
:
: Then I started getting more interested in
: Japanese music and culture outside of video
: games, and felt it was time for a change.
: Soon after moving from Miami to Gainesville,
: I was introduced to "Dance Dance
: Revolution," a popular dance simulation
: arcade game from Konami. In my opinion, the
: #1 standout element of the game was its
: catchy soundtrack, which featured several
: original compositions from Konami's in-house
: musicians. However, they rarely used their
: actual names, instead opting for bizarre
: inscrutable quasi-Japanese pseudonyms. So I
: decided to create my own fake Japanese name
: by combining nonsense syllables together,
: and finally ended up with
: "Indogutsu." Later, the surname
: Tenbuki ("heavenly weapon")
: followed.
:
: It has been quite a few years using this
: name and character online, and it's been a
: blast. I got to meet a lot of interesting
: people, hone my skills with music, game
: design, and writing, and even tried my hand
: at other creative outlets such as
: animutation and webcomics. But, like the
: prizefighter must shed layers of disgusting
: flab, so too must I take my final ride into
: the sunset. Recent personal and professional
: events in my life have made it necessary for
: my chapter as "Indogutsu Tenbuki"
: to draw to a close...
:
: Before I leave, I would like to thank the
: following people, in alphabetical order:
: Yodelin' Zeke, VXO, FTrapper, PitcairnMan
: and his sister Friede, Tetujin, Domius,
: Batten, The Twins, Kalisiin, Slime Master,
: Woodus, Dwedit, Waitohooru, Mimas, Daniel,
: Wishmoo, QHeretic, all my GGZ homies, YK,
: Fogel, Boko/Yuri (hope you find a
: significant other someday!), Xagor, Matt32,
: Burn Griffith (there, added!), DrtySOUTH,
: Soulcleaver, Seigfried and all the other
: people who broke apart from the IRC group
: for one reason or another, my girl Bridget,
: all my long-lost friends from the old Yahoo
: IAQ Club days (you know who you are), Fish
: Man, Sinclair (I miss your MIDIs), SDS and
: the RPG Atelier crew, all my peeps in the
: animutation fan community (Gieef Lives!),
: all the people who e-mailed me with
: questions and comments about my games, Weena
: Mercator as the Hopping Woman, and anyone
: else I forgot.
:
: And a special mention of Crenomaster, Dr.
: Casey, Drifter, Ernest, Lord Bob Bree,
: Rivey, Scorpio, and all the other people I
: only know from this message board and
: nowhere else. It's the real Brasington fans
: like you (along with the Orange Board-goers
: in the previous paragraph) that were my main
: reason for living during this weird,
: wonderful, and wearying stage of my life.
