To stay, or not to stay? That is the question...

XD I've been thinking about that. I mean, I signed up a few years ago, but I never got involved in anything, so I drifted away. Came back, same deal, so on and so forth. So it'll probably happen again. Anything goes though, I may find something to stick around for.
 
I don't know? I've had periods where I've left this site due to sheer boredom or wanting to focus on people/my job in the real world, I thought then I wouldn't return, but here I am! Alive and well! Still posting my crap! Haha! How sad. After nearly four years here, I don't see the curtain closing on my PC career just yet. I imagine I'll just stop caring about the people on here and fade away into the real world, forever rejecting the years I spent on this site.
 
Even though I had a few close calls, don't expect this memetic lady to hang up her Poke Balls yet.

I still have some laughter left in me, I may suddenly fade if studies and work cram up my schedule but yeah, I'm not retiring from Pokemon yet.

Hikari is gonna stay...
 
i don't think i'd ever leave the community per se... i'm just prone to being inactive in the community for long periods of time, but i don't think i'd leave.
 
I'm not going anywhere any time soon lol. I enjoy it here, it's homey now :)

Even if I do 'leave' one day, I'll never leave completely. I'll always come back and post around. Probably while listening to Viva La Vida and crying.
 
At this point, I want to stay until PC shuts down. I've been here forever, might as well stick around until the end. :p

idk if that will happen or not, but I've been here eight years now and I'm not bored of it, so it might. *shrugs*
 
Screw that, I'm staying.

Mostly because Facebook is too boring and there's no community in Youtube.

I don't like the Internet but this is pretty much what's keeping me on.
 
I plan to stay as long as possible even I lose interest in Pokemon just because I have tonnes of friends here and it's a great place to be, but I'm sure there'll come a point when work/studying/life/etc gets in the way and activity will inevitably grind to a halt... But let's hope not eh? :D
 
10 bucks says I'll be permabanned by the end of the year.

I stay mostly because there's not much else I do online besides from looking for music on Grooveshark or Youtube or just watching a random vid for the hell of it, I don't see myself staying for that long though as I'll probably find something new on the internet to get sucked into at some point, god knows when that will happen though.
 
I was active for nearly three years straight since I joined back in 2008. It wasn't until mid to late last year that my interest on PC started to dwindle and I made the decision to leave for awhile. I didn't know whether I would return or not, but I knew if I did, it would be because I wanted to or I thought that my interest on here was starting to creep up on me again. You know how sometimes you leave something for awhile and then you begin to miss it or you just feel like you're ready to go back to it again? I guess that's how I would explain my return here after six months away.

I'm sure I'll end up leaving again in the future, but when may that be? I'm not sure yet. Probably not for a long while from now.
 
I tend to drift away from any forum that's not my own, and return and leave again, like in cycles. That will likely happen here too, depending. The only surefire way to be in my life %100 is to be part of my true circle of friends elsewhere besides a forum.
 
I'll leave as soon as this place stops being fun for me or I physically can't make it on any more. When either of those days will arrive, I can't say. I'm sure they will come, but I'm terrible at prognosticating the future, so I wouldn't even be able to make an accurate guess, I'm afraid.
 
I'll stay as long as I can. I dont see a time when I'll ever really have to leave, I think I'll always be around, just maybe a bit inactive as my life gets busier. I dont however intend to just leave the forums without any notice or anything.
 
I'm definitely going to hang around PC for a while. I have some people here that mean a lot to me that I'm not going to just leave behind.

I may stop posting around, but...definitely can't suddenly leave.
 
I'm going to stay until I die of old age. Legit. or until this site closes. Whichever comes first. But I don't plan on leaving ANY time soon, at all.
 
I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. Of course, plans can change, but right now there's nothing going on where I feel I need to leave. Besides, I have several friends who I chat with daily, and I don't want to walk away from them. So right now I anticipate sticking around for the long haul.
 
Eh I've had my ups and downs with this community and I've wanted (and have) to leave quite a few times in the past. I used to put too much importance on this community and now I see it much more for what it is: a place to pass the time. And it's a nice place. We're a very creative bunch and I think we all relate on the fact that we love (or once did) a game that many consider is just for kids. Some people can't even fathom the thought of competitive Pokemon but it's out there.

As far as staying goes, it's not an estimated timeframe for me. I'll stay so long as I have time to waste and remember my login info. I don't see this place changing very drastically and as a result I don't see myself leaving.
 
I've "disappeared" from this place a few times, but nothing drastic since I was modded until I was going somewhere on vacation irc. Other than that I left once for about nine months and I don't remember what got me back on here (I think it was people from the old PokeSupe Fanclub but I ended up at Other Trivia instead) but since then I've been around for the most part. There was two weeks in which I had disappeared but that was because I was spending all my days on the computer just reading Detective Conan. I think there might have actually have been another time but hell if I remember.

I don't plan on leaving this place anytime soon. I've been having my activity go up and down but that's how it is for most people. Not planning on leaving and quitting my mod job here for a long time coming.
