Good.

And I don't mean that in a dickish way either. I took a three month break from here a couple years ago and noticed an improvement in my general happiness. I've tried suggesting a break from CE to a few people when they mention feeling depressed.

There are a lot of positive things I've gained from CE over the years, like learning to research things before taking them at face value, debate techniques, and writing practice, but overall it's probably been detrimental. Like, with my music, the cynicism I've gained from this place makes me want to refine it so it's not seen as shit by everyone, but then I'm never satisfied because I still think it's shit.

I'll probably leave for a while too. Just got a new job this week and don't feel like wasting the little bit of free time I'll have on here.

I'm glad I'm not alone, and glad you're doing better. Good luck with your new job, it's an exciting time!

Why is it always the posters that shouldn't leave that do and the posters that should leave never do? :(

Oh believe me, I should leave, haha. I think I'll do a lot better. I need to reprioritize a lot of things and have a better outlook.

I'm not really a regular poster here by any means, much more of a lurker, but from that lurking I've always seen you as one of the better posters here, and usually find your game recommendations to be good.
Shame you're leaving, but definitely do what's best for you. Good luck.

"nobody leaves"

Most of the good posters on CE have long left.

The board used to be fun a long time ago, believe it or not.

I think most of the top notch people are probably lurkers lol. Thank you. :)

I salute you then.

It's not always easy to recognize when you need to cut out the sources of negativity in your life for the greater good. I say that as a contributor to the negativity, in all honesty.

I'm addicted to this place and can't leave.
---

Wow right when we become friends
---

I'm taking Noctis ;)

I used to be a quite active poster here. A few years ago I came to the same realization you did here. I wasn't happy with my life, and so much of that unhappiness was being echoed here. Overall I realized that being surrounded by so much negativity and ignorance here every day was a lot of what was causing my unhappiness. I still come back every so often, and every time I do it's more apparent. Hope you find happiness in whatever you choose to do.
---

I feel a lot more negative whenever I spend a lot of time here or on the internet in general, tbqh. I'm gonna leave too, tbqh.
---

But who will tell me about video games now
---

lol
---

Don't know if you'll remember since it's been a long time, but way back in the day I was a lot more active here and I remember having some good discussions with you in various topics.

I can see why you're leaving though. This place fell off hard.
---

Your phone number still the Same
---

Pretty damning that this board is full of such garbage posters that the overall attitude of it has caused another good poster to leave.
---

And now you steeeeeal awaaaayyyy,
Taaaaaaake him out todaaaayyyy.
Niiiiiiiice work you diiiiiiid!
YOU'RE GONNA GO FAAAAAAARRRR KIIIIIIIID!
---

We have similar tastes in games so I actually enjoyed your gaming topics. Now I may have to venture to the cesspool communities of the system boards more often. Yuck.

Good luck though.
---

Not gonna lie, when you described how retail/CE changed your personality, it sounded kinda like Rorschach from Watchmen. Probably is best if you get as far away from that mindset as possible. Good luck to you!
---

Who are You? Lol

See you Around TC.

Have a Good Life TC.

Take good care of yourself TC
---

Imo this isn't an appropriate place for a girl, its predominantly male and gets used to argue and joke sometimes aggressively. I think most girls don't find that kind of talk appealing but as a guy I enjoy it.
---

Bye. =|
---

Thank God, you contributed to the toxicity and I'm glad you're going
---

CE is a beautiful train wreck. Once i made alts i really started to like it.
---

We've had our arguments but I don't have anything against you as a person. Sounds like you're making the right decision, and if you change your mind we'll see you later. I've had to do the same thing to a few boards as certain events can make the board not what you came there for which can be disheartening. It happens, and staying off whatever that board is will probably be better for your sanity.

Good luck to you.

Don't worry TC, too much longer and I'm leaving too. There was a time that I really enjoyed CE, but it has lost most of its appeal and it is just getting worse. I enjoy positive news and banter and it is too rare on this site. You get so many bad topics that you kind of get sucked into it.
---

Take care, Leana. CE certainly ain't what it used to be. I did enjoy your gaming topics and it's sad CE will be missing them as that's one less non-political shitposting topic on the board. :\
---

Take care.

For those who've kept up with my posts over the years for whatever reason and may be curious, no I'm not depressed or suicidal

Jk. Will miss your jrpg threads. If applicable, feel better. Good luck with everything.

Good on you Ashley. A lot of my favorite people on this site have long left for very similar reasons. I'm pretty much on the same boat; I only come here once every other month out of morbid curiosity to check how everything is - and it's no different, no better. It's hard to let go when this place meant so much to me as a youngster. But things change and at some point you just gotta look forward and focus on stuff that actually matters in your life. You're strong and extremely protective of the things you care about, and most importantly you're self-aware which is a luxury most of humanity doesn't have.

I wish you the best! and I'll never forget the good times we all used to have in the olden CE days.

will brutal cry?
---

Get out while you still can
---

Lol, way to take the Internet WAY too seriously.

You'll be back

How much of a desperate, attention seeking loser do you have to be to unironically make a topic like this...?

#CEgalLogic

Aye. Well I'm taking off too since literally you and darkprince are the only ones I know by name still active here. And prince I got on facebook so it's whatever. Tired of seeing all the race, politics, gender stuff too if I'm being honest.

Fuck this election for bringing out so much hate man lol.
