Have you ever thought about leaving PC?

I haven't really left PC. It's true I wasn't active when I first joined, but I see that more as inactivity than just going "Bye PC!" The closest thing I had to leaving was when I took a week off of PC. It was actually kinda nice, but I was glad to be back when it was over.

I don't think I could leave PC right now. I have too many memories, and I enjoy posting around. However, I have considered leaving the staff quite a few times. I once had a quitting thread typed up and everything, but I couldn't help but tell Matt about it, so he made me sleep on it. Obviously, that worked. XD
 
In name, I have left already. Once I fell out with Andy and other staff members, and got mixed up with other people's personal issues, not to mention stuff like Shinou, that was pretty much it.
 
I have. I've even left, for periods of time. But I don't see a point in "leaving", like, forever. Y'know? There's nothing I want to escape from here. I come and go, post as little as I like. I'm about as left as I'll be, in any official way. I'll never be as active as in the peak of my membership, but I don't regret that. It's just because I don't enjoy time on here as much anymore. Things change. But this place gave me alot. I won't forget it.
 
I would be lying if I said I've never considered it, and I would be lying if I said it still doesn't run through my mind every so often. I'm sure most staff will say they've thought about leaving at one point or another, and that's simply because being a staff member isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's not easy seeing eye to eye with everyone you work with, and that's one of things you NEED to learn how to do if you take up a staffing position here, or else fights break out.

I've been in countless arguments over a variety of things, stupid or not, some taken to the extreme. Hell, I was temporarily demoted for posting my opinion in an LJ back when I was an S-mod. But hey, I've been through a lot. Most of the staff have. Not much can faze me now, I've dealt with it all: power hungry twits, whiny n00bs, hackers, scammers, suck ups, bias staff and so on. Those are hurdles any forum staff member needs to overcome, and I'm grateful for my time here on PC. Basically, I'm over any possible reason for leaving now. If I was to leave over something stupid or staff related, what would that change? Nothing. So why leave?

That's enough of a mini-rant for today. XD

Aw, no more? Right when it was getting to the JUICY part. Thanks for giving me a mention in your post nonetheless. Although I wouldn't consider myself 'whiny'. ¬¬

My activity here flickers like a dying light bulb. On and off, on and off, on and off, and on! For the moment anyway. I might leave forever, like when I die and decide the forum is not worth haunting. Other than that, I'm here for the win, dooks.

 
Well, technically I left PC for a while after I joined. I have no idea what the reason was, I think I just forgot about this place. It certainly wasn't an "OMG never come back" action. Thinking about leaving? Well, I've made some threads long time ago and I'm not proud of all of them. I actually thought of leaving for a month, so I'm allowed to make a welcome back thread and have a kind of fresh start. I didn't manage to stay away from this place for so long though^^
 
I come and go. I've thought about it, but that never really got anywhere.
 
when people act childish in threads, arguing over the littlest things, that makes me want to leave.

(oh geez, i hope this doesnt start an uproar, xD)
 
Yes i have been thinking of leaving PC , because sometimes it is Really boring .....

the reason why i stay is because of certain pple that are here
 
Yes... quite a few times, actually. PC is too boring ;-;
 
Yes I do. A lot.

It isn't like I'm very popular here or anything so yeah ~

Maybe I should leave ~
 
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.
 
Definitely, and I did once, for awhile.
Because I forgot my password =x
And I've recently thought about leaving, too. Because of some of mah friends </3
 
Yeah maybe one time i did, sometimes i come here and there, and sometimes i get really lazy, and i don't log on for a few months, but im not off forever, i got others things i want to do in my life. As i do agree with Marz up there, PC does get a little boring.
 
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?


:t354:TG
 
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.
