It's been almost five years here, and while it can be fun, it's so very time consuming.

So I am leaving. At least for a while, I will not be posting on General. I'm not leaving NS altogether, but don't expect to see my name on this forum.

I'll still respond to TG's, of course (though maybe not always that quickly). And I might post on this thread once or twice tomorrow. And that's it. Until/unless I get drawn back in months from now, which does seem to happen to people quite a lot.

It's been quite a time.

You'll be back. Anyone who posts a goodbye thread always shows back up sooner than later.

*makes sure radio tag is secure before releasing you back into the wild*

I definitely understand this. I regularly have to cut activities out of my life when I realize that I'm wasting WAY too much time on them. I have a bad habit of getting distracted by any- and everything I enjoy doing, and I can waste so many hours on these things. It's horrible, really, because I don't think any of us should get so caught up in one single thing, when there are so many other activities we could be enjoying. Of course, sometimes it's not just about different activities we could enjoy but responsibilities we have that we ignore when we waste time on the Internet. d: Whatever it is that you would rather be doing in the time that you usually spend on NSG, I wish you luck in doing it. If you DO come back, it won't be a horrible thing or anything to be embarrassed about, haha (you're right that it happens), but I hope you're able to distance yourself from it for a bit. (: Have fun!

Shame. You were the only person holding this place away from tearing itself to shreds in a nuclear fireball of death. When you return there will only be charred corpses, ruined buildings, horrific mutants and Hotwife and Vault 10 fighting for control of it with their stockpiled guns.

You! Stay here!

You've absolutely no business leaving, what with me enjoying your posting and all. You are herewith kindly, but firmly, ordered to not move your ass out of here till I tell you you may.

Most especially since I've the same problems as you do, but am too weak to actually leave NSG behind. So there.

I agree with SoWiBi. Where do you get off exercising more discipline than I've been able to? No fair!

Though I did once manage to wander off for several months. I, of course, had the class not to post a farewell thread. Pfft.

Or maybe it was because I hadn't planned to be absent. I'd just developed an intervening addiction, and only came back here at my old posting rate when that activity was no longer available. :p

So when you get bored with WoW, we'll see you back. :D

College helps with the whole "stay off NSG" thing. You should try it.

Until you have an essay of course.

Aw man....

Anyway, later bud. Good luck with that whole "real world" thing. Remember, that shiny disk in the sky is called "ra". *nod*

I considered it improved. :D

That is true. But until you return you will be missed.

:fluffle:

Leave? You can't leave NSG.

This post caused me to listen it from Youtube.

Blows kiss

Bye! :fluffle:

can I have his room? pweeeeese!

I can think of one example that disproves this, but he used his farewell thread to troll himself into a suicide by mods.

A shame you're leaving just as I return.

Farewell, and if you return, we'll welcome you back. After all, NSG IS Hotel California...

Alas, Calisdrun! I hardly knew thee...

EDIT: Oh yeah, Andaras's alt account. 50 pages of insults.

Stop using Ye Olde English!

I shalt use whatever language I feeleth like

Stop using Ye Olde English!

That's not Old English. It's Early Modern English.

That's not Old English. It's Early Modern English.

Whatever!

Whatever!

Old English is nothing like that. It's a separate language.

Do you seriously care?

Yes.

Umm, bye?

You! Stay here!

This.


Besides, who else will get my black metal jokes?

Get your ass back here.

The great UCSC coalition will miss you. :(:(:(

Pfft leaving. You're only going to the store for some smokes aren't you?

Aren't you?!

You'll be back. Anyone who posts a goodbye thread always shows back up sooner than later.

Pretty much. The only people who actually leave are the people who actually leave, not the ones who talk about it.

I'll miss you a lot, Calli-kun. it was a hoot posting with you on NSG. Don't be gone too long, ok?:)

*makes sure radio tag is secure before releasing you back into the wild*
Lol, thanks, LG, that seriously made me laugh.

You! Stay here!

I'll probably be too weak to stay away for long. We'll see. And enjoy my posting, are you nuts? I'm honestly surprised to have lasted this long without getting banned for various rule infractions. I am flattered that you enjoy my posting.

Hmmf, I do not play WoW. I heard that costs money.

I've been in college since Fall '05, Ruffy. Wanting to do a bit better in it is actually one of my reasons for my checkout

NSG is like Hotel California. You're checking out now but you will never truly leave...
It is. Given past experience, I know how unlikely it is that I will stay away for all that long. I'm going to try, though, at least for a while.

Bye! :fluffle:

can I have his room? pweeeeese!
Not sure why you'd want it, lol.

Alas, Calisdrun! I hardly knew thee...
I'll still be on NS and on AIM. You can drop me a TG or a message whenever you like.

This.


Besides, who else will get my black metal jokes?

Get your ass back here.
I probably will, eventually. I don't know. Right now I'm a little horrified at hoe much time I've spent here, though I wouldn't call it all "wasted," as it's often been pretty fun.

The great UCSC coalition will miss you. :(:(:(
I'll miss you, too. You can still TG me and stuff.

Pfft leaving. You're only going to the store for some smokes aren't you?

Aren't you?!
Nope. Never smoked, never will, hence, not going out to get any cigs.

I'll miss you a lot, Calli-kun. it was a hoot posting with you on NSG. Don't be gone too long, ok?:)
I'll miss you too, my fellow anime nerd. How long I'll be gone depends on my willpower. You can still TG me or IM me.

Thanks everyone. And your doubts that I'll remain gone are quite warranted. I have such doubts myself.

It's funny that, starting with CToaN, following with me, and ending with you, the three of us will have left 10+ years of continuous damage to those hills. We need to start recruiting Generalites still in high school to carry on the legacy.

Hmmf, I do not play WoW. I heard that costs money. Actually, it saves money what with the destruction of any semblance of a social life. Your only expenses are the subscription, Ramen Noodles, and Mountain Dew.

*Does nothing, knowing you will be back. Hoping you will be back.*

Yes.

I think there's something approaching a 100% chance that you need to stop giving a fuck.

Best of luck in that thing called "real life."

That's not Old English. It's Early Modern English.
YES!!!! Someone else who knows!!!!!

You want old English? Here.

Awww, damn. I had at least six evil things I was saving up for 2009 to do to your sig. And I never did find out if your vampires glitter in the sunlight.

Ah, well, good luck with the studies. Actually, here's a tip: it doesn't matter what you write in academia, as long as you get the punctuation right in the Bibliography.

I'll probably be too weak to stay away for long. We'll see. And enjoy my posting, are you nuts? I'm honestly surprised to have lasted this long without getting banned for various rule infractions. I am flattered that you enjoy my posting.

Good, good. I'll await your return, then.

And yes, I'm mildly surprised I've been posting for all these years without a single infraction or warning, too (IIRC).
