Longest time you spent 'away' from a forum...

Postby Aeolus21 » Sun Jul 24, 2005 12:34 am

I'm just wondering what was the longest time you guys have spent OFF of any online forum\groups? For me, I once took a four month break posting in message boards after realizing how much time I've been on. It honestly is a little bit hard not to go into the forums, simply because it exists wherever there is an online connection. I am trying to deprioritize my online-life as the real world needs me more than ever. :P

hmm... I think a few months. Not entirely sure the precise length, but there was a time where I had given up on all forums cause of some bad experiences... until I happened to stumble across this one while looking for Christian webcomics XD

3 or 4 weeks I think, but there was one point in time that it was about 2 months. That's a long time for me!

I removed myself from a forum for about 4 months because of personal issues. From CAA I think the longest I've been completely inactive is 2 or 3 weeks.

There's only one forum that I don't frequent often, only because it's pretty empty now after all those server troubles (people left the forum when it didn't go up for few months, if not years).

Otherwise, no more than a week at most, usually 3~4 days for church camps and such.

I usually don't spend much time overall at forums to begin with. So alloting my time carefully I've never had the need to limit myself or ban myself. Probably why I'm not more known around here.

I left CAA recently for about a month or two. Now I'm back, though, and I've repented of my roaming ways. :lol:

About...4 or 5 years. I used to chat and post on messageboards obsessively when I was 13, but then I had a bad experience. I got blackmailed after giving out too much information, I ended up killing my old identity and restarting, but it was never the same. I kept going on several message boards for a year, but the communities eventually faded away and by that point I'd become pretty disillusioned with the net.

The CAA's basically the first forum I've joined since I was 14, I like it here. I think the longest I could keep myself away is a week or so. I prefer to cut back to smaller quantities of forum surfing per day ^_^
