It's not you, it's me
 
I find myself growing apart from this place. Every day the disconnect gets worse and worse. I have no business here any longer.

Nothing against Alex or anyone else that has left, but I still fail to see the big thing about staying/leaving a messageboard. I think of this place as part of my daily internet routine, like reading the news or checking my email. Plus, with members around the world, this places is sometimes a whole lot quicker to pick up interesting news/events than other media outlets.

If I was to leave, I might announce it, but probably not. And, even then I doubt that I could stay away completely, I'd still lurk for news and check PMs at least semi regularly.

Alex's Trip 06.04.2009 10:08 PM

Well I'm not really resigning as a member, but I definitely needed to note that I don't do shit here anymore. I don't read the threads, but I still come anyway. And when I do read them, I don't understand what the fuck you guys are talking about. I'm mostly not trying to get sucked in again, because way back in 2006 and 2007 when I was more active, my life comparatively sucked.

atsonicpark 06.04.2009 10:10 PM

That reminds me, EveryNeurotic sent me a message on last.fm saying he wanted to come back and tell you all how the Eternal sucks. But he hasn't posted yet..

static-harmony 06.04.2009 10:13 PM

I miss him so much, hop he is doing well.

summer 06.04.2009 10:15 PM

I don't know who he is, but I already like him.

static-harmony 06.04.2009 10:16 PM

He would hate you, he hates everyone.

krastian 06.04.2009 10:16 PM

ha ha ha ha

summer 06.04.2009 10:21 PM

I would still profess my undying love for him, perhaps somewhat defeatedly..

atsonicpark 06.04.2009 10:28 PM

He doesn't hate me or Emmah or boy_howdy.

krastian 06.04.2009 10:31 PM

EN, needs to come back, the bastid.

He's one of the few people that is the same age as me on here and knows where I'm coming from....great dude.

I remember way back when, we would talk online till either one of us could fall asleep.

Alex's Trip 06.04.2009 10:59 PM

Another reason to no longer post here: Only two people actually responded to my post, lol. It's cool y'all.

atsonicpark 06.04.2009 11:02 PM

How many variations of "That's cool, dude, do whatever" or someone going "I don't understand why people want to leave here/not leave here.." do you need? Besides, you only posted an hour ago...

where you gonna go? the fun will begin when the eternal comes out!!!!!!!!!!!!

atsonicpark 06.04.2009 11:17 PM

The man who wants to gain wisdom profits greatly from having thought for a time that man is basically evil and degenerate: this idea is wrong, like its opposite, but for whole periods of time it was predominant and its roots have sunk deep into us and into our world. To understand ourselves we must understand it; but to climb higher, we must then climb over and beyond it. We recognize that there are no sins in the metaphysical sense; but, in the same sense, neither are there any virtues; we recognize that this entire realm of moral ideas is in a continual state of fluctuation, that there are higher and deeper concepts of good and evil, moral and immoral. A man who desires no more from things than to understand them easily makes peace with his soul and will err (or "sin," as the world calls it) at the most out of ignorance, but hardly out of desire. He will no longer want to condemn and root out his desires; but his single goal, governing him completely, to understand as well as he can at all times, will cool him down and soften all the wildness in his disposition. In addition, he has rid himself of a number of tormenting ideas; he no longer feels anything at the words "pains of hell," "sinfulness," "incapacity for the good": for him they are only the evanescent silhouettes of erroneous thoughts about life and the world.

Just going to roam around town with my friends until the summer is over looking for something to occupy our time then I'll be making new friends and partying in Berkeley.

phoenix 06.05.2009 01:04 AM

that sucks.


This place is always up and down. I post here because.. I dont know why. Because of flots at first, and then stayed because all the other places I post at aren't so much "community" as actually related to the topic of the forum.. so I post at them but only really when I have something to say/need help with whatever subject they are about.. This forum is the most community orientated of all the places I visit at the moment.

In the past I posted at numerous forums that belonged to people who used to post at places I used to post at.. You know.. so I had 5 or six forums full of people I knew, that were only about catching up, and talking shit. But this was before myspaz/facebook/twatter.
These days I don't really speak to many of those people anymore... and I havent made any new groups of internet friends.

so, will you be back next week?

_slavo_ 06.05.2009 02:52 AM

another drama thread, another yawn.

I don't really know. I never post here anymore, and I am tired of coming to the site and just reading mindlessly. I'm deleting the SY forum out of my bookmarks!!!!! Not that I h aven't done that before, but hopefully I'll be able to keep boredom at bay.

Haha.

Anyway.. Have a good trip.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 06.05.2009 09:57 AM

Why do people always feel the need to completely quit the forum?
It's like...
You know you can post every now and then
No need to make these threads

Look at me,
I went from making over 100 posts a week, to maybe 2-3 a week
Sometimes I don't post for a week or 2 or 3
But whatever

Good luck IRL.
Enjoy it.

because they know they don't really have to.

I've always wanted a forum with a "delete me" option in the user preferences.

that way, it would do away with silly threads like this one, yet still give people the satisfaction of ending it all.

parting, sweet sorrow and all that done away with by a single button.

phoenix 06.05.2009 10:20 AM

It would be awesome if it automatically deleted all of their posts and threads too. That way, if you made a thread about yr leaving, before you did it.. It would just get delet0red.

Kloriel 06.05.2009 10:25 AM

Anyone ever tried drinking absinthe in the middle of the day when you have nothing required of you in siber action? Dont worry I am getting work done.
What really makes no sense is that i can still half type.

Maybe it was not absinthe but juiced licorice strands.

phoenix 06.05.2009 10:27 AM

Absinthe is wonderful, everything slows down incredibly.
