I've considered taking a lesser role quite a bit. I think it's important to keep this place fresh. Would still post but hand over my interest in the site to someone more energized and connected. I wouldn't want to quit completely though.

Probably by the time i have a career and definitely by the time i have kids.

Could you even imagine wasting so much time on a BBS when you have kids???

Yes. At least until I get the inspiration to erase all of my shitty posts with a good one, then it'd be hard not to come back.

def. 

I also think about doing so often.  I never have issue with getting stuff done at all, but think a lot about what I could do with the extra time.  However, I work with no one with in 15yrs my age and this joint gives me a place to have some daily interaction with ppl that aren't of a diff gen and all old balzy and stuff.

Sure, in the next few years when we're all using voice activated touchscreen whats-its.  Then in a few years when I get put in the retirement home I'm going to have my colostomy bag directly connected to Twitter.

Young emaws will be injected with a goEMAW nanobot supercomputer at birth that will interface directly with their brain.

Our old ass minds will be blown and we will be asking our kids how to hit the return key and they will roll their eyes because obviously it's in your brain and there are no keys but we just won't understand. That's prolly when I hang it up.

I'll overdose on coke and die before I ever get hooked up to a permanent colostomy bag.

is there any fanfare or symbolic act a poster has to go through when hanging up the keyboard? something along the lines of wrestlers leaving their shoes on the mat?

Who has to pick up those stank ass shoes afterward?  Seems ridic.  Like the guy creates a moment, cries, walks.  Then the ovation stops and he has to hustle back over there and get his shoes back because he doesn't want his little piggies getting cold the rest of the 19 hr meet and the bus ride home.

just be sure to have something else on deck to take its place. like, if you are going to quit goEMAW cold turkey, then make sure you can call ted from reno everyday or something. i think this is called "substituting" in the drug game. dunno.  :dunno:
