I've had less time as of late to browse the forum than I once did due to the demands of the real world. When I do come here I have been quickly skimming through threads rather than reading what everyone has to say, and I have been attempting to guess which threads are worth the small amount of time I put into skimming based on their titles rather than just reading all the OPs. It is out of habit more than anything that I was still coming here and it is a habit I should be ending to focus more on other things. I have found it annoying before when people have disappeared without an explanation, leading everyone wondering whether or not they are dead, whether or not we should be glad if they are and whether or not it is within the bounds of good tastes to joke about being glad somebody who posts on your message-board is dead. So to lower the conditional probability of my being dead in everyone's minds given that I am not around, this is the reason, although it is still possible that I got hit by a truck right after posting this. I've had some good times here and I'd like to thank all those who have had interesting things to say in the past and to chide those who haven't. The former know who they are and the latter most likely do not, but it will be up to other people in other threads to inform those people. It's been fun, but I ought to go.

Make sure you bury her somewhere far away

With you gone, the mantle of "Promoter of Interactive Fiction" must pass to me. I'm not sure I can handle the responsibility:(
Thanks for posting!

Seems that there's quite some traffic here nowadays. People coming and going and coming back again. Perhaps it would be best to have a separate section for these kinds of threads, so they wouldn't take up so much space here in Comm Chat.
It was nice knowing ya TGGP, even though I didn't really know ya except for the few posts we exchanged in the Bioshock section. I wish you Godspeed!

Try not to kill any lawyers on your way out!

I'm in the same boat as you man. Gone are the wistful days when I had time to waste on hundreds of posts and flame wars.

I don't believe this time talk for a second. If you've found yourself another hobby - good for you. But if you really believe that you don't have the time to chat a little with friends (and other forumers) anymore, then I pity you. It'll take away from your life's quality though, not mine. And all the time you save by not having fun anymore will go nowhere. It'll be smoked up by grey suits in large cars and before you can say "gawd, I look old!" you will be alone too.
Well thanks for all the posts I guess.

So, another one tries to peel away. Let's see how many times a day he comes back to check on this thread. Heh heh...
Seriously, it will do you good to take a break from here.
