I'm going the way of Cuibono...

[Y.T.]

This is a farewell thread... I'm quitting.

I lost interest in sharing my opinions & discussing with people on the net. For several days, I have been writing replies, or even doing some
research for them, only to subsequently erase them.
I thought: Is this really necessary? :Some posters hold stances similar to mine, and argue for them with greater vigour and zeal than I usually muster.
Is it going to change something? Someone's pitiful little mind? Is is worthwhile to discuss issues over the 'net, and waste hours doing so? It takes up a lot of time to properly engage in discussions, and gets tedious , esp. if the other party is thick..

Sure, I might affirm my own beliefs and stances in discussions with other
people, but, that can be accomplished in a more pleasant manner, e.g
going to pub on on friday night, and having a debate with my friends* over glasses of wine, or mugs of beer.

Also, in the upcoming months, I'll have to concentrate on my studies,
so I'll rather waste whatever little free time I am going to have with more healthy(exercise) or enjoyable(reading)activties

It's been a nice time, Azrael's editorials & some stories are interesting to read,
and I'm sure I am going to periodically check O9 for new work , perhaps once per month.

So, I'll uncharacteristically wish you all good luck, and I
hope that the more ignorant members of 09 fora end up
afflicted with more brains and broader worldviews, by virtue
of being forced to defend their views online.

I, for one, will miss you. Good luck with your studies and your life.

Ruaidhri

[D-pad]

I will miss you as well even if we never really connected I still feel you where a major part of this forum.


Btw.........Ruaidhri you can't just not be on for a few days with no warning........I though you where dead or something.........

[Citizen]

You're such an optimist, D_pad.

Bye, Zakalwe.

[kyaa the catlord]

Buh-bye. (Plus a few characters, damnit.)

[Pierrot le Fou]

What difference does it make to others? Maybe the world, maybe absolutely none. The beauty and ugliness of the internet is that you never really know what effect you have on the anonymous faces you're talking to. But that shouldn't really matter.

I do want to change people's minds, and I know I've been successful on occasion, but even if I don't, I know that through discussion I am improving my own viewpoints, gaining information, and learning about things I may not otherwise. And even if I never convince another person, I'll still keep improving myself, and that alone is worth it for me.

I am thinking to quit to cause I think I'm wastin mah time out here. Anyway, how do we cancel our account?

[Quartermaster]

Piss off Az. ;)

[caseylim]

Come one tell the truth. I need to study also. I'm having national examination to be taken so I need to quit before I am addicted to this site.

[Quartermaster]

That is the truth. Piss off Az, he'll (likely) ban+delete you and your problem will have been solved.

[nice gaijin]

I'm sorry zakalwe... who are you? oh well, best of luck in your journeys, wherever they may take you.

caseylim: if you wish to end your presence here, simply stop coming. Your account doesn't need to be deleted.

[Bob]

Everything else is pointless, too

[Pierrot le Fou]

Post your password in this thread casey. Someone will change it, and then you won't be able to log in anymore.

[Kass]

PM Citizen and ask him nicely and he can lock your account. You could also change your own password to something random by choosing the change password option, closing your eyes and hitting some keys, then copying and pasting it into the confirm field, submit it and log out. Merry Christmas, you can't log in again because you don't know your own password.

[typhoon51]

If you read this thread, you know why I did all that.

piss of az- done,

put ur password and username- done

Kass's idea- will be done
