I don't know where the hell I'll be or what I'll be doing, but unless this site goes tits up and sours for me, I'll probably be here for a while, I haven't found another forum I like better.  :-*

I'll probably stick around. The people of GH have pushed me to grow quite a bit. Lots of cool people, why not stick around right?

I've been here about three and a half years so far.

It has become a habit.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yes, I think as long as you diversify your social environment, staying on geekhack and contributing is quite easy. If you make it your only outlet for socialization or the bulk or it i.e. no life, things get toxic and sour

I'm here for the long run, I want to go to keycon in a few years! :D

the only way i can see myself leaving here is if the site goes down/ddosed for an period long enough for me to fill that time with something else

like maybe 7-8 years ago i used to spend hours on 4chan, until it got ddos'd for ages and i moved on

Yeah.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Well, I'm here just a few months but I'll probably stay here a long time. Really like that everyone's so friendly and just joking all the time. Don't know any keyboard enthusiasts IRL though. Would be cool to go to a meetup somewhere, just because I'm all alone. Y'all my family, dawgs/gettes!

Seriously though, I honestly don't know.  I hope I'm still around, but there was definitely a period last summer where I almost walked out, so I can't say 100% either way.  :-/

Makes me sad to think about one day not logging in here though... I love you guys way too much.  :'(
