I’ll miss you, but at least I will be able to find the legitimate movie threads again.

I’ll miss you, Ender.

I don’t think you need to do that. Certainly don’t do it on my account.

Nearly two years ago, I took a break from this site. I actually did a pretty good job staying away. At the time, my busy life was getting in the way and my interest in participating had faded.

Over the past few months, I’ve slowly allowed myself to post more until I feel it has returned to the time-wasting point it was in the past. I love it here, but life has not slowed down for me over the past several years. Indeed, it has only gotten more and more stressful and busy. The time I spend on here is therapeutic, but unfortunately, I have a hard time preventing cathartic participation from turning into addiction. I need to take another break. I appreciate all the fun and discussion.

Cheer up, guys…

WRONG PICTURE!

And not true. I’m not disappearing…just going into lurker mode. I find I have better self-control when I don’t post and hope for responses. I’ll rear my ugly head from time to time and will probably resume more frequent posting at some point in the future. In the meantime, see you around, guys. 😃

I’m slipping a bit already. Recommitted.

I’m leaving this place because every post made by oojason since he became a mod pisses me the fuck off and has made this site into a watered down version of what it was. I understand not being able to actually insult people, but you can’t even pretend to insult people as a joke anymore. What the fuck? This place used to be fun. I’ll possibly still stay in touch with people I have pm threads with. Unless of course I get banned for daring to be unhappy with something Jason said and can’t access pms. Toodles.

Not, but I did take a couple days of no posting except pms to cool down.
