Quote from: Sandtrap on October 27, 2014, 01:13:03 PMVacations are a good thing. Sometimes, you just need to go for a walk in a different part of the woods, clear your noggin out, and then return back home to something fresh.I won't stop ya. I won't say sorry, because there's nothing to be sorry for. Everybody needs a break every now and then. The internet isn't tiresome physically. But mentally.So, I wish you a good trip and perhaps, a return to here with some new spark in hand and mind.I wouldn't blame anybody for leaving. The topics here are about as interesting as watching paint dry and there's nothing but drama and animosity. Let's face it, we should have all gone back to b.net a long time ago. I personally am growing tired of forums in general. If things go according to plan these next few months, I'll most likely be leaving permanently.

I won't miss you. I'm glad you're leaving. Goodbye.

I personally am growing tired of forums in general. If things go according to plan these next few months, I'll most likely be leaving permanently.That's the thing about forums. Every door is open. Every experience, or outcome is open. So, over time, as you go along the internet world, in a sense, you live a virtual life where eventually, you've seen everything. Every type of post, every type of fight. The same stupidity over and over. You've seen and done all you can.And no matter where you go, it won't change. The community may be different. But the overall rules are the same. What really matters, is the gems you find. Small little moments, talks and events that you will remember, because they stand out in the sea of grey. People that you want to keep talking to, beyond the forum.People haven't realized it yet, but the internet will never, ever replace true, real world social interaction. And that's the point. If you spend small portions of time on the internet, and encounter those little gems, those moments worth saving, then your experience will go well. But if you let it absorb you completely, then your experience goes dull and grey.It all comes down to what I said. Filter through the sand and messy stuff, to find the rare gems worth saving. And when you grow tired, take a vacation. Because with the internet, you can.That's true. I'm at the point where everything is just so god damn predictable. But it's more than that. It's just that this whole thing has become boring and the amount of losers here who have nothing to do but pick fights is just insane. I'm on here and I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing wasting even 5 minutes of my life watching inconsequential conversations and arguments when I could be doing something fun or at least productive. It's just a giant waste of time, and you feel your mind decaying and growing stale in an environment where you already know what's going to happen when something is said or what type of reply is going to be made. This place just doesn't have the charm it once had, and now that we've broken off from Bungie this community has become really stale. You don't learn anything, and it's just the same rehashed bullshit over and over.
