Have you ever tried to quit MacRumors?

[Jaffa Cake]

We also use this kind of rover to catch people who try to get away...

Nice piece of kit. Slightly less prone to punctures, I'll wager...

 

[~Shard~]

I got it, having just watched the entire series.

Damn, one-upped by Doctor Q again...

 

[DeSnousa]

I have tried, you know for school and stuff but I love this community to much

Besides I just ended up lurking

 

[whooleytoo]

Awesome reference! I wonder how many people here actually get that... They did a parody of that on the Simpsons once and I had to explain the joke to a ton of people...

Hey! What about mine?

Leave Macrumors? Yeah, I escaped in my boat a couple of weeks ago after being chased for miles by big white bubbles and haven't been back since.

Be seein' you..

Just 'coz I didn't post any fancy pants pictures.. <kicks a stone around the backyard in a sulk>

I have honestly tried, but the only thing that will reduce my usage is an office job. I work at home alone all day and this place is the only "human" contact I get.

Pretty much have quit. I remember when I was a lot older and I would post all day, for a while there I was in the top 15 in post count. Have gotten pretty tired of it over the last year or so. I don't enjoy posting help with Mac questions, I answer enough of those in my own time. I just check the main page and read the community and religion/politic discussions. They tend to be the most fun and in depth on the site.

Damn, sorry about that whooleytoo - I honestly missed that one. Yes, you deserve just as much credit (if not more! ) for that one as well. My sincerest apologies.

I decided to quit yesterday night.

How am I doing?

NO! I get allnews from AppleInsider.

That's not news. That's educated, high probability guessing.

"In OS 10.5, the Finder may see some changes, possibly tabs! iCal may also see a change." Wow, who would have thought?

 

[Pistol Pete]

and yes i do check MR before myspace

 

[stubeeef]

Tried but couldn't do it.

I do spend more time at another forum than here now (I feel cheap and sleezzzy), it runs with my time and interest. Although I don't post much anymore, hardly a day goes by without a quick checkin the community forum.

Now that it is 11pm and the family is asleep, guess I will get the hint!
G'nite.

 

[njmac]

Well, I'm still here! For better or worse, I'm hooked.

Sounds like a ring thing there......MR likes eight studs

I know that feeling. When I worked at home doing advertising materials for my job, I was always dropping in on MR.

I honestly didn't spot that. I feel such a fraud...

Let me know when i can come out of the naughty corner and play with the other kids again.

That does not compute... reboot needed...

 

[mad jew]

I'm on the road for my job but my widget should still work.

 

[Mord]

yes for a while, but then my reason for not posting was no longer valid, thus return.

Maybe I should get one of those robotic dogs. My cat just sleeps all day and Mithy is logged off all the time.

Awesome reference! I wonder how many people here actually get that...

I got it. I'm a Prisoner fan from way back.

I never formally quit MacAddict forums, I just lost interest a few years back, when there was a period where argumentative libertarians seemed to be running the political forum. And I did formally quit another when one or two of the members got way too sarcastic with me, and the mods did nothing about it.

Thankfully, this place is very well-moderated. That's not a kiss-up, that's just my experience. I've never once yet felt the urge to quit.

Do you people see this man's dedication to MacRumours? You guys talk about quitting, while MJ is adaptive and incorporates it into his tight schedule. This man will even drive and post.

Great MR member. Just don't be in the car with him if you know what's good for you.

 

[gallagb]

i do go on vacation...etc
somehow am not able to have 'web access'
and seem to be fine

i'll hunt down a computer/net access for e-mail
but will generally wait for macrumors until i have time to do it

i just got back from a week long 'summer camp'
checked my e-mail once a day
and did pop on MR once - just the basic front page- to see what new things had happend
was excited about the software upgrades...etc
but then quickly unplugged and went back to camp

 

[~Shard~]

I'l be temporarily quitting in a couple weeks when I go away on a 3-week vacation. Other than that though, nah, I'm here for a while, no plans on quitting.

Heck, even while I'm away I'll probably find time to pop on once or twice...

 

[Abstract]

Yeah, we know. We saw Q's list as well. Gotta keep up that post rate, eh?

 

[njmac]

I should have made another poll option - not quitting, but cutting back.

going cold turkey is too painful

 

[Abstract]

Yeah, I've tried quitting cold turkey before, and today you're still reading my posts.

Don't try it.
