I know it's a sore subject to discuss for some, but has anyone else considered leaving "Inthe00s" because it has affected your personal life or other reasons? To tell you the truth, I have comtemplated leaving the boards several times because of the added stress of my regular job and family. So if you're not at all shy or ashamed, tell us what's on your mind and please, don't feel pressured to say anything. 8)

Dude, you're still in high school?  I thought you were in college... maybe that's you're brother... cool, I'll be starting high school in August..  :D   What grade are you in anyway?

I'm not planning on "leaving" the board... I just visit whenever I feel like it.

As of right now, im not really sure. Im debating on whether or not my parodies are doing good enough to keep me at Amiright, and my message board visits have been lower. But to be honest, I dont think Ill ever leave on a permanent basis, at least not right now. Peace --- John.

Not to sound genuinely malicious and rude, but what is the purpose and point of announcing one will "leave the board" - and even moreso telling the rest why ??? I never understood that ???

If I decide to not post anymore, I won't, but this whole "I'm not gonna post here anymore because so-and-so irks me, so-and-so doesn't like me, or so-and-so gives me b.s. that I am tired of" ... I think it's waaaaay weird :) ;) :D

Remind me next time I take a hiatus to tell the penguins how annoying some of you kids are ;) :P :-*

This is what I get for lurking....gonna know I am gonna find something I gotta comment too.

I didnt mean to start a whole new thing about who and whom is gonna be here or not.  I did NOT start a new thread for people to start shredding other posters on.  I simply started my OWN thread to let people that might happen give a **** about me know that I was not gonna be around much.  I did NOT go into any detail as to why, nor did I use the excuse of the people here as a reason I was leaving.  If it seemed to be taken as that, then I need to go and fix it.

When I said too much has happened around here, I did not mean the board people themselves, nor really the boards themself.  It was more of a general term I chose to use, including my entire life.  

I will NOT be judged for a post that I wanted to make to let some of my friends know I needed a break.  Like some people I dont talk to other ways but here.  It was not for pity or attention, it was just to let people know that I talk to sometimes in pm's or such I was not gonna be around.  The people that I want to know what is wrong with me knows, the others...then I just wanted them to know I was not leaving over the whole lurker, p*ssing or moaning business that has been happening here.  My reasons to leave are my own.  I posted from the heart..and if that is the wrong thing to do, well then get a firing squad after me.  I posted honest, emotional feelings that were felt at the time.  If you have a problem with that...then I guess we better ban all the other personal posts, like my father died, is sick, or I am going on vacation.

This is my rant and rave....and if anyone else has a b*tch to log in about me saying I was leaving..then give it too me now..and then I am gonna shut your mouth real quick by telling you what made me leave in the first place.  And I am gonna tell you REAL quick it had NOTHING to do with you

I prolly shouldnt have posted here, as I kind of get the feeling there is something going on in the 'inner circle', or something to that effect, which may actually be the reason for this thread.  But regardless, I plan to stay around a while!   :o :P
End Quote

You were fine to post here.  There aren't any threads only for a so-called 'inner circle'.  In fact, I don't believe there is an inner circle.  Just people who happen to know each other better.  If you see a topic you want to post in, jump on in.  And, I am glad you plan to stick around. ;D

Thanks Dagwood and Lester. I have been thinking about it. The main reason why I have thinking about it is because of a few people who of late have a tendency of being obnoxious and rude. Then I realize that if they drive me away, they win. I am not going to let them win so I will be sticking around.

Hey, I was on the board for quite a while (In the 4figure posts) when I thought it time to go as I was taken things too personally. I thought things had changed but I see some people haven't. As some incredible woman once stated maybe "I should take a valium" to get me through

Heeeeeey Darlin'! Here is one person who missed ya! Please stay this time. Just use the Zella philosophy of life and board:

a. observe people
b. evaluate their personality

then

c. just let them be who they are....

It works a lot better than valium! :D

I don't think it had anything to do with his marriage, because he was posting and having a good time long after his announced separation. Personally, I think between the "Crazy Don fiasco" and the "Admirer's Thread" he just got jaded with it all.... :-/

I can account for these two, Zella, as they are relatives of mine.  My brother (Guamanian) and his wife are busy with their jobs and are still in the process of moving.  I talk to him regularly and often go over my quizzes with him before posting them here (he enjoys them).  I'm hoping that he will come back and post one of these days.  :)

Don't ask! It was a long time ago and I'm sure most of us who were here when it was going on would rather forget it.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm the only regular poster I know of from my city (a little sad when there's over 4 million of us...), so I don't know anyone personally enough for it to affect my visits here, so if I leave it will more than likely be for a family reason or something not associated with this community itself.

I will most likely never leave the boards comepletly-I am just a lazy sh!t!!!! I am currently waiting to get the remodeling done in my house, and then I will be moving the PC upstairs, within easy reach of the Barcalounger and pretzels. I am also auditioning the dancing boys for the currently available post of Cabana Boy. So my plate is pretty full...... ::)

Yeah, it's a bit of a challenge sometimes.

As much as I see people form attachments through this medium of internet messageboards and the few times I have witnessed some people succeed in integrating it into their reality, I have found the opposite to work for me. I believe it helps me remain impartial. Plus, taking all this too personally is, IMO, part of the reason many problems occur in the first place (see tittle of thread).
