Thanks x1b for pointing me towards the thread.
I left because of the general negative and otherwise pissy pants attitude on the forums, as well as some poor moderating by several mods. And understand that I'm not bashing any mods from the position of a newcomer who got slapped right away and is now sniffling to get his posting privileges back. I joined and posted regularly since I was a whiny 13 year old with a fresh copy of DB, and I've seen the gradual decline of the forums and the mods, as well as the departure of several regulars. I realize I posted some things that probably shouldn't have posted, but hey, that's just how I developed.
Many people seemed to forget this was after all an internet forum, and I was thoroughly disturbed at the large number of people here losing grip on reality.
As for latest happenings, I've finished high school and currently in the process of finding full-time work while still training 6 days a week. I'll be starting college in September and moving out into the city. For any regulars here that I used to keep contact with who still care, you can check out my
college portfolio and
myspace.
For everyone else, I guess it's sayonara. As I said earlier, I was in no way a good example of a good forum member in the past, but a ton of you seem to be perfectly content with sitting behind your monitor, typing out whatever crap you want, and generally never meeting any girls. I didn't really have much time for online stuff as I was in a relationship for a few months that has now crashed and burned, but even after that I have no current plans to return.
Too many people here just needed to take a chill pill (or the equivalent of cat nip, as for me) and to think through what was important to them. If you place a programming forum somewhere high on that mental list, then you have a social problem. (Especially if you find you're angered by an internet forum on a regular baisis)
As usual, this post is going to be met with the generic bitchan' and self-superiority replies. Well beh, have your lawyers contact my team of endangered wildcats and we'll figure something out the good old fashioned capitalist way. Right now I got a student loan to worry about.
Good luck with everyone's projects too.
p.s
Unicorns are yummy.
(Hey, I had to post something weird, as mild as it may be)
