Well, here it goes. After a long deliberation of whether to write this or not, I decided that the best thing would be to post it.
I joined sysopt in Dec 2000 because I was searching for the manufacturer of my motherboard. Usually, I posted once in forums, and when the question was answered, I left and forgot about the site completely. Sysopt was different however; I was quickly captivated by the "family" feeling that the members of the forum shared. I quickly became involved in asking questions, as well as helping people out with their troubles. Then an event occured and the community moved to a different domain name; I quickly followed. In the past year I have made more than a 1k posts, and I have learned more about computers in the two years of my membership in the community than through the other years of my life combined.
And here we are today. I'm a senior in high school, moving through life, gaining new interests, meeting new people - constantly changing. For one reason or another somewhere in time I have lost the drive to face and answer to same questions over and over and over. This feeling, or lack of it, led me to a sad decision that I must take a break from Techimo and the community. No, I'm not leaving for good. I just wanna get my life straightened out and i need time to think. I have made many friends here, and some of them I was even able to meet in person
.
I will still hang out on IRC sometimes, cause I love tlaking to geeks in real time, and I might even drop by the boards from time to time if I have a pc problem, or just to chat.
Thank You all and have a wonderful time
lost-and-found
) then ya might just decide to stay here for even longer.
