gbandit Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 That’s a real shame. Was a quality poster. I think the negativity on the forum was the key factor and he said he was going to leave recently because of it. Sad to lose a good poster when we’ve had an influx of turds in recent times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, if they return one day, all they've achieved by doing so is lose all easy access to all of their own history on the site as their posts end up remaining anyway Since the Harvey Weinstein debacle and the rise of cancel culture that followed back in 2017, I've always felt that if the day were to come where I made it big-time in the entertainment industry - my post history on here will be what brings me down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for ON but when I did it, the idea was that it had become a habit and deleting the account would make it harder to return and that was the point in doing it, because I wasn't enjoying it and wanted to make a clean break forever. Sometimes you might just need a break but you've driven yourself to thinking you need to make big, permanent changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you might just need a break but you've driven yourself to thinking you need to make big, permanent changes. I've had the thought a few times over the now 18(!) years I've been a member. One time I decided to "test myself" by logging out on all my devices to see if not being logged in and thus not being able to actively participate in discussion would make me spend less time on here, but it didn't. It just made me more and more frustrated that I "couldn't" comment on anything others posted In the end, the only thing that's enabled me to "take a break" from this place and stay away from it for a period of multiple months ended up being me suffering a complete mental breakdown that saw me essentially lose track of time and space, which in turn broke all of the "routines" I had developed in life, which included checking in on here (and other sites) multiple times per day. Wouldn't recommend doing that to anyone as a way to manage to stop coming on here, however Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
