   I hate to tell you this but, I am leaving hubpages and going:(  You also may have not seen me around here quite a while and thats because my cousin died. I am having a hard time now and now its just i cant be here anymore.
   
   I am leaving hubpages mainly because it is not the same as before. Before it was different. We had fun and our hubs were  inspiring and now because of these new rules, I cant publish even a single hub and i am like forced to write dull kind of hubs just to keep my hubscore above 70!
   
   I also have totally run out of ideas and i have to delete some of my hubs. Because of these new changes, There is NO fun writing hubs and being here at all. So goodbye everyone, I had a great time with you all. I hate to say goodbye but i have to.

      Sorry to hear about your cousin.
      
      HubPages is becoming a professional writer's heaven, I congratulate the site! Just after the Panda attack I became critical about HubPages, but to my utter surprise I'm now experiencing HubPages is taking only right steps to become no. 1 again and forever! I appreciate what they're doing.
      
      I would request you to stay here and fine tune your writing skills to write like pros. You'll be benefited in the long run, thanks!

      Take a break by all means, Jason, but don't delete the Hubs which are still OK.  Your Hub scores won't drop just because you're not here. 
      
      I know one Hubber who took a year off, but left all her Hubs published.  She couldn't believe it when she came back, checked her Adsense account and found she'd earned $100!  Especially because when she left, she'd only earned about $2.
      
      What's wrong with the Hubs you have to delete?  If they're duplicate content, then they definitely have to go - but most of the other problems are easily fixed.  It would be worth making the effort, even if you don't feel like writing any more right now.
      
      You could try signing up at another revenue-sharing site like Infobarrel or Excerptz, you might find it gives you new inspiration.  And don't forget to include links back to your Hubs, which will give them a boost too!
      
      I suspect that once all these shenanigans are over, HubPages will settle down again.  We had a similar drama when the 100 Hubs in 100 Days challenge was on - it didn't affect so many Hubbers, but a lot of people did leave.  Whether HubPages is ever as profitable again is debatable - but there's no reason it can't go back to being a writers' community.

            Thank you Marcy! Glad to meet you too! Yeah, Those were tough times. Hub Pages then, As I can remember was very fun and good but suddenly people started to leave after some changes came along.  Anyway, I wish I could have all those hubs back which I wrote back then. Its a good thing though I found some friends are still here and haven't left. Thanks again!

         maybe not as hard as you think. maybe. I took a vacation, (not hp related) deleted all my hubs, my score went down to like...40. I came back just a bit ago and after on e hub, its back up. To... something above 40. 
         
         Just something to think about. It doesn't hurt to leave your profile and come back later if you change your mind. When your feeling stronger and better and more ready for the world. Its easier to restart an existing account then to start a whole new one. At least it has been for me.
         
         I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope things look up for you soon. Best wishes in whatever you decide to do.

   If you permanently leave, your hubscore will then automatically be zero for all eternity. This will bring civilization to an end as we know it. Think of your societal responsibilities! Do not do this to us! Don’t leave so that we may continue to live. Besides, it will probably be fun to check your revenue after a month or so. Free money is free money.

   So you do not have anything to say to the world?
   Just because you have to pay more attention regarding of "what" and "how" and "when"?
   Is a challenge not an inspiration by itself?
   It's just a mood, let it pass. Enjoy your world or suffer it, Just tell us about it, we are ready to listen - on your terms, in due time.

    I'm sorry for your loss.  I've recently suffered one myself and am finding it hard to get in the mood to write.  I don't write what HP is going for either.  I'm not into "How Tos" and think there is plenty of room here for folks who want to inspire and/or entertain.  I've found HP more boring than it used to be, but I'm coming up on my two year anniversary and maybe the "new" has just worn off.  You sound like the kind of writer I like to read.  Hope you'll reconsider.

       Uh actually Kathleen, I am back now. I was here before like 2 or 3 years ago. If you read the first post above, It was posted 21 months ago. That's when I left. I do feel good to be back. Still, I need to update myself to all the new changes that came to Hub Pages from the time I left. I am sorry for your loss Kathleen. Soon as time passes one can get over it and you know, Move on in life.
