Do I contribute anything? What's the use of sticking around?

Dear Languish.

I started thinking after the last post I made here, an inane comment I regretted the moment I clicked Reply... Most of the times I post, it is just one line with the intention to be witty.

I hang around for the games forum, and the OT. At the same time I feel that most of the inner circle already know each other, and have an outside of the forum relation to each other. I have something of a block against typing long posts, and the days of EUOT when debates sucked me in, and made me contribute, are gone.

I'm considering taking a long break, devote some of my blog reading, forum surfing, news browsing time to quality gaming, and the rest to reading and running.

Come to think of it, I hope you aren't going to call this a purely attention whoring thread or blame me for being overly dramatic when quitting. I just want to know the point of it, that's all. What do you other non-inner circle people think Languish gives you?

Sincerely,
Johan

I think you're overestimating that. We only look like we have those kinds of relationships because we've known each other online for 8-9 years. Stick around long enough and we'll know you that well too. :)

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It gives me intellectual stimulation.  Perspectives I had not considered, facts I was not aware of, experiences I have not had.

Plus it's fun to shoot down misconceptions.  Drop quick one-liners.  Sometimes even the prison yard drama can be entertaining.

Remind me, are you the Swede Slag hates?

Tell you the truth, Lucidor, I sometimes get that "outside looking in" feeling too, and I'm way more active than you are. But the forum can be entertaining and it's not like I have anything better to do.  :blush:

Lucki, you need to stay here since you are still sane. Think of it as a test of manhood, will you prevail against the ceaseless onslaught of idiots here?  Fight the good fight, then come see me in Wyoming and I will buy you some dark beer.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

from one intruder to another, i think you're a good poster and help contribute to a diieimg(!11) forum. i wouldn't feel put off by how long the forum has existed and the relations some posters have developed with others. after all, with the way divorce rate is going these days, all the languish couples (neil-timmy, ide-korea, ed-pdh, cdm-cdm, etc) can only last so long

I only come because i enjoy watching cdm bitch slap folks;

I come here to get all my Winnipeg Jets news.

oh yeah; i forgot about that...that too

but for languish, i would not know that anyone in real life follows canadian football

i always assumed it was some intramural sport only attended by the players' parents

Comic relief. Oh, and screw those inner- circle jerk fags.
