My time at Murray's World was coming to an end I could feel it but I was going to leave after Wimbledon not during it. But Prod made me make that decision faster and I realized after that incident that I could leave right now and that Andy would be safe. He'd win Wimbledon as I had already started the main thread so there was nothing left for me there anymore. So my departure had nothing to do with Prod, really. He was just a cause and perhaps did me a favour.
Just like T4U - it was never Alex, really. I had loads of fun with him though later he was becoming quite irritating but that's probably because, I wasn't giving him as much attention and I wasn't posting as much either so he made sure he talked to me at any cost every time I was there. Truth is I was already looking for a forum but this time a Murray forum since Andy wasn't winning any Slam and the fans of other players were truly showing their ugly side when it came to Andy, so I needed a safe place where I could support him with all my heart and without any nonsense from other posters. So Murray's World wasn't an accident. It lasted about 2 years but that's all the time I needed. Andy won 2012 Olympics, USO and Wimbledon during my stay and I couldn't have asked for more. Lendl was also hired during that time period so that was the best move I had made at that time. It was well worth it despite all the other slacks I had to take from some of the most rude posters there.
Tennis Frontier was good but it was never my cup of tea. It was too rigid and lacked that bubbliness or openness other forums (T4U and MW) have to offer. There was a very conservative feeling to it and given that I am very outspoken and I like to speak my mind, it wasn't at all ideal for me but I still rate it higher than MW. Though I must admit only 2 forums were ideal for me - CNN and T4U especially T4U (who could forget those years from 2008 - 2011). The problem with CNN was that it was a mainly a tennis forum (because the owner was CNN itself) so there was no place for all other talks (music, movies, politics, chit-chat etc.) so we had to incorporate all that in our conversations. But once we moved to WC after CNN was shut down (I think it was 2000) it was a much better deal but we had lost too many posters in the process. WC closed down too in 2007 unfortunately.
Anyway, because I speak very openly and I am very different than others and because half the posters at Murray's World are older people; therefore, very traditional and (may I say closed minded as well) British, some of them (5 to 7 people at best but that was enough) had problems dealing with someone of my nature. There were attacks unnecessarily and Mark did his best to protect me but there's only so much he could do. Besides, part of the reason for me leaving was the fact that I didn't want Mark to protect me anymore though he was simply doing his job, but I just didn't want him to do that anymore since it concerned me. I was the reason - I was the cause.
But I was a riot no matter where I went. That's a good thing bad thing I don't know but I was brave because I stayed the way I am and I never changed despite everything. That's how I see Andy too. He shouldn't change. But I was very well loved by most of T4U members and I was very popular at WC and CNN. I still remember my first ever post at CNN. I said 'Go Pete!' - he had a match the next day and it took me a lot to say just that because it was my first post and I was terrified. I was under the impression posters would jump all over my post and I wouldn't know what to say back to them so I wanted to keep it as short as possible. LOLOLOL so naive and yet so sweet, no? But I was fairly young too - still a student so you understand. 
Anyway, eventually a Sampras fan took note of me and started having conversations with me and that made me become more open and post more. Rest was history. Oh I joined Sampras Fans club shortly after. The same Sampras fan introduced me there as well- how sweet but it was all meant to be. That's when I became friends with Steffi's mum Heidi at CNN and was also contacted by Tennis Magazine for an interview (that was through Samprasfanz though and had nothing to do with CNN) to speak about Sampras from a fan's perspective. I declined that interview however. The reporter later said to the President of that club that he didn't find anyone else all that interesting and dropped the whole thing. Haha.
There my whole forum life in a nutshell. Hope you enjoyed reading it.
