I've thought about leaving a lot.

Being a mod actually sometimes makes it worse, to be honest. xD; My sections are dying, and I feel so responsible, I just sort of want to melt away and disappear. I'm so afraid that my section is going to be shut down, but I'm not doing anything to stop it. So I just feel really bad when I think about that, and that usually includes thoughts of leaving.

Also, because I'm just a nerd like that, I think about quitting PC whenever my grades drop, or whenever I don't get straight A's. Because at school I'm known for being smart, it makes my self-esteem go down when I don't get perfect grades, and PC doesn't help me when it comes to science and math.

I usually feel a little embarrassed by the fact that I like to act so n00by and hyper all the time. I mean, that's the way I've made more then 90% of my friends here, but its still embarrassing that I'm a mod and act like I'm 4 in front of everyone. xD;; That usually leads me to want to hide my face for awhile, but because I'm just so addicted I can't. I can't leave, and it's pretty bad. When I think about leaving, I start thinking of all the things I'd miss after I'd left, and I just sort of end up coming back. xD;

This is by far one of the most serious posts I've made.

I have like last year I left for like 2 months and then I came back because I was bored. But now I'm coming on here every 2 weeks so does that count?

It's not that you need to leave PC, but probably take a break from it (to forget how boring it was having to make or read useless posts, sometimes), wander around some other places and that kind of stuff.

But, I think that everyone who is at least a bit attached to PC (and I am, of course), changes their mind not too long enough, and end up rejoining after some days/weeks/months. Why? Just because of that... The feeling of belonging to something important, where you have a lot of friends and a place to talk about stuff you and other people like...

I have left twice.

It wasn't really that I left just stopped posting but I kept browsing the forums and, tbh they were just more like breaks for other interests.

It wasn't the forum though it was just that I have many interests and every month it seems the one I'm currently most interested in changes.

Luckily, last time that the new pokemon generation came out I didn't stop liking pokemon the most for two years. This time with D/P I'm older can understand the game more, can enjoy the game with new features, I can play other poekmon games that come out for the bigger consoles this time.

Well lets just say I can see myself going a little inactive at times, but this visit will probably be my longest.

Yes, I have. In fact, I have a 1 and a half year gap in my post dates. It was more of a parents influenced decision as I was getting C's and low B's on my advance math grades. They blame forums, and accused me of using cocaine too.:cross-eye. So I took a little (long) break and dedicated some time to my studies.

There's been quite a lot of changes while I was gone. Natsuki, Kairi, Chairman Kaga, Cybex Mewtwo, Envy, Claire...etc was gone during my absence. To be honest, I have thought about leaving again, PC isn't what it used to be in 2005. I know some people have said this too, but I just wanted to say it in my own right. PC's a lot stricter, yes, we can't even go to the chat thread and drop a quick hello anymore.

So yeah, that's my story. I have somewhat enjoyed my return here to PC, but it's just not the same as the first time I've come here. :'(

Of course I have...and I always end up coming back because PC is like, my home. It never hurts to meet new friends even when you've been around for about three or four years! XD

If I do leave it's usaully because of school.
