James. Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 ...I've been on here for 2 years now. What happened?! What am I gonna do? I'm scared I'm going to end up like Reilly or Nick and spend half my life here :worried: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 it's already too late I fear so there's nothing you can do enjoy the rest of your life here :nice: :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcam Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Well, if it bothers to spend your life in here then you should go away. I think it shouldn't bother you, this is a cool place :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaMama Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Why so sad? If you feel like visiting here, you just do. And if your life is filled with other things, you wait untill there is enough need to visit again. Keep in touch with the ones you will miss the most in another way while you're gone and don't feel sad for the things gone by. Other things will fill in 'the gap'. The thing wich I am so amazed by, is how quicly visitting this forum can become an addiction...:embarrassed: Is that how / why you feel this?

James. Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 The thing is, recently I feel like I've been visiting here without really contributing anything. The place seems to be less interesting lately, even with the recent buzz of activity surrounding the Atlas release I don't feel like there's much reason for me to stay here, yet I keep logging in just... for the sake of being here. I don't know if this is linked to recent events, people talking about leaving, people saying this place is going downhill as of late and whatnot... Maybe I should give this place a break for a bit and then hope things are more exciting in a few months, maybe when there's a new Coldplay album out :shrug: :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eff-exx Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 are you sure the lounge will be extra exciting when the new album is out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 are you sure the lounge will be extra exciting when the new album is out? Well the lounge specifically might not be, but the site in general probably will. And who knows, maybe there will be new members who will help liven this place up a bit. Or maybe even older members coming back. (unlikely, but you never know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaMama Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 So, I hear you saying this place is a bit dull. I think there was more laughter before indeed. But it will come again. In the first post, you where worried to be spending here half your life. Would you be happy staying here if there was more fun again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Listen, James. I've been around here for over 4 1/2 years now. This coming February will make 5. I don't say nearly as much now as I used to. (I was much more of a spammer back in those days.) I don't know if it's necessarily like this for you, but for me, the big reason I stick around is the sense of community this forum has. I've met some wonderful people through this forum, and while some have left, some have stayed, and others have arrived. I guess, in a way, this forum is as close to an Internet home as it gets, and once you find home, it's a place you never truly leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the sense of community and meeting great people, and of course I still want to be a part of that community, but it feels like now would be a good time to have a bit of a break and then come back fresh. I'm going to uni soon so I probably will be around here less anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody gives a crap dude :cheesy: do your real life things and don't worry about some forum of some band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to uni soon so I probably will be around here less anyway. Well, sure. I'm sure a lot of us have taken breaks from here over time. I've had my fair share of days when I just quickly drop in and check a few things before I leave without saying anything. It's all relative to what's going on in your personal life and the amount of attachment you have to the forum and the people in it, among other things. If you feel like you need a break, then by all means take one. We'll all understand. :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
