Ooh, looks as if our company's filter now no longer blocks DeadJournal (I noticed when the little skull on a DJ user tag in an entry of Carina's showed up).

Sorry to change the subject, but just wondering, why did you leave the Zompist Bboard, Pne?

It wasn't a conscious decision... I just kind of... stopped visiting it regularly because it took a fair bit of time and other things were competing for my attention.

I seem to do this a bit: get fascinated by a subject, spend a lot of time on it for about half a year, then be fascinated by another one and drop the first. Or maybe I'm fascinated by four at a time and have to drop the first when I pick up a fifth. The results are similar.

I feel bad about not being able to devote time to things I previously enjoyed, but I've not had much success picking up things I used to do often.

Another victim is Usenet reading, for example; I'd like to be able to go back to reading newsgroups but I can't find the time. I also put quite a bit of effort into learning Klingon but haven't found the time recently. Or doing LiveJournal support, where I shot up in the highscore list quickly but where I haven't answered more than about ten questions in the last two months, at a guess.

So basically: just busy.

I still feel I haven't "left" the board so much as "haven't been there for a while", in the sense that I haven't made a conscious decision to break with this interest I held.

Oh, OK. Some other members, most noticably Eodrakken, went off for a while. I just wondered; a lot of people missed you.

Thanks,
Ghost

Oh! I'm surprised, but also touched.

Thank you for telling me this.

BTW: You do know that Eodrakken has a LiveJournal, right?

*looks at friends list* Ah, you do. Never mind then.

Dude... I have no idea who you are or why you did what you did, but THANK YOU. That was incredibly kind of you. What made you decide to buy me a paid account? I can't believe it. I'm so happy and yet so confused. What...?

You commented on a post of [livejournal.com profile] auster's recently, and I just decided to give you one.

I can't really say more than that since there wasn't much more to it.

I hope you enjoy it!

You just decided. Whoa. I could be like this totally screwed-up person, you know. :P But thank you, you're very generous.
