So this is it. After 7 years on this site, I've finally decided it's time for me to move on. Although I've maintained anonymity throughout my membership, I still managed to meet a number of others, and have enjoyed many engaging conversations, sympathized with some of other's hardships, and shared a few laughs along the way. While the site has changed and made things a bit difficult to maintain the same level of communication with the community I've grown familiar with, I also realize that I need to focus my attention on other, more important endeavors.
Perhaps one day I will return to find some of the same old crowd hanging around, but I expect many others will also decide to go. As of now though, my membership will lapse in 7 months and 3 weeks.

Well, you'll be missed from the Current Events board, uh, group, that's for sure. As far as other, more important endeavors, that certainly sounds worthwhile. I'm inferring that you find hanging out on SG, and/or elsewhere on the internet, somewhat distracting from so-called real life stuff? Or maybe I'm just projecting here....
