[Unk Adams]

Does anyone else sometimes wonder what happens to people who frequently post on a forum just to suddenly stop visiting one day? I know that most people gradually lose interest and then stop posting after awhile, but I sometimes wonder what happens to people that post constantly and then out of nowhere they never sign on again one day.

Life. Or death.

Life. Or death.

It's a matter of wife or death. Though I must ask. Is there wife after death?

[Nobody_Important]

If I ever stop posting for longer than 2 weeks you can rest assured that I have either died or I have lost my log in information and EviLore finally decides to play god with my online life.


That or I went on vacation and got kidnapped by an instagram thot in Cancun because I am just that fucking good.


Probably one of the former though. Lets be honest.

Sometimes people get arrested for heinous crimes.

Maybe you hit your head and that part of the brain they lived in no longer exists.

Life happens, mostly. Though it's sad when you see an avatar or toon and it's no longer active but still resides on the server. That's now part of our human existence in the digital age, for better or worse.

 

[ZywyPL]

They found a girlfriend.

 

[nush]

They went to start another forum that's much better.

I don't know, we are still searching for Cunth.

 

[Chittagong]

I took most of 2021 off GAF. Covid + media + GAF was too much of a dopamine sink.

It was harder to start posting again than to take a break.

 

[GeekyDad]

They found a girlfriend.

And if he/she comes back, they got married.

 

[Windle Poons]

They found a girlfriend.

As if

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

They found a girlfriend.

Can't spell NeoGAF without NoGF.

But seriously, even if I found the perfect woman, you can bet post-coital ennui will always find me here.

 

[Erebus]

They realize forums are antiquated and move on to social media to spew their toxicity there.

 

[Tschumi]

They probably care more about being the triggered pawns of algorithm jockeys than using a forum they've devoted time to.

I have a waning passion for spending time on the game industry. it ebbs and flows, but if you look at the macro it's in an overall decline


its fun and addictive to post especially when you feel connected to the community thats for sure.

[Taxexemption]

Sometimes I'm so overwhelmed by work or other parts of my life that after work I just sit in a chair and try not to think until its time to sleep. Other times I discover some new place on the internet that is interesting and I focus on that for awhile.

I do sometimes wonder about the board celebs of old. Some of them moved on to Resetera and some just left entirely for the reasons noted by E.

 

[FunkMiller]

 

[AlphaMale]

I imagine they just come back later under a different name.

 

[Raven117]

LOL. What a thread.

[InfiniteCombo]

I wouldn't consider myself that frequent of a poster, but when life becomes busier (usually girlfriend or work), I post much less.

Also it's not often that this happens, but there are small "exodus" type moments that will see a number of prominent posters leave all at once. I remember when EL announced the deletion of the politics subsection: a number of frequent posters that used to hang out there (and in Off-Topic in general) all left at once, in "protest" or something.

Cunth probably just forgot his password and for the others...i dunno.

 

[Sub_Level]

Tesseract is probably stuck in the quantum subspace entanglement zone. It happens.

I doubt it. Arcadia and Matt likely shared the same password as Cunth...funny how that worked.

 

[isual]

i think the ones that i recall were blamespace and that cboat guy who would leak stuff a decade or so ago and always typed Lik3 dis.

I keep hoping he'll come back sometime. I mean, he did for like a week but ended up leaving again. Who knows? Maybe in 6-months he'll read this thread and give it a 2nd...err...third consideration.

 

[DragoonKain]

Arrested for being serial killers.

I still picture that being someone from REEE... I can see the headlines, "42-year old man arrested for assault and murder of anime body pillow."

Most of them went to Resetera and relaized quickly is was a joyless no fun allowed forum where you have to vote the right way, have the "Right" group approved opinion on any topic and hate straight white people. Then they stopped posting.

 

[Old Retro]

Kidnapped or ransomed or both...

[Star-Lord]

I don't plan on leaving until the day I die, and even then I'll post now and then, providing Hell has wifi.
