Nothing is forever.
Now assuming you don't just suddenly die and never show up here again..how do you think you will leave these forums? Especially for the current regulars. When I first came in the "regulars" I remember have since faded away or abruptly left or are now only sparingly on. I guess only raverboy, tooxshort, and Cybog remain of the ones I can recall as predating me. The rest of you who are here I tend to think of as coming in in the age of AN (after nomas).
My question is:
"How do you currently see yourself leaving the forum?" Will you write up an elaborate good bye and never come back? Will you write a good bye announcing you'll be phasing out slowly? Will you just leave without a word? Will you just phase out?
Also, do you see it happening in the horizon at all?
ME:
I don't see it happening any time soon.
However, I do see me having a lot less activity after I quit this job this August..but not leave it entirely..I don't see me leaving it altogether any time soon..if ever. It's too easy to just log in and browse around "real quick".
However..not being here daily makes it hard to keep up a discussion type of thread...then slowly you start not receiving the rewards for the effort of browsing around...then when those you knew start leaving for any of their own reasons you see no point in coming back.
Sad but true..chances are we'll all be strangers again some day.
