Posting/Reading reduction...

[jester47]

Dear Friends,

I have come to the conclusion that I spend waaaay to much time reading these boards. I love this community, but the time it requires needs to be spent on other things.

Unlike those of us humans whose hobby it is to defend the environment, I realised that I can step away from this boards and it will still be here when I get back. Lately the topics have not really jazzed me. I think this is because I visit too much and so nothing is ever new. As a result of late I have been mainly reading looking for newslike info and info on new products. So I come away having used up a couple of hours, and feeling that while I have spent time contributing to the community, I feel that the time is not really as quality as it could be.

So my solution. I have been watching posts and the average post front page time seems to be about a week. So I will be checking the boards weekly from now on. If you are one of those that looks forward to my posts or just likes to exchange ideas, or sees a post I might want to dig up, blast me an email, I ussually reply to that pretty quick, and it doesn't take up too much time as I don't have to read a whole thread to make an educated reply. I figure that the slowest time for the boards is Friday afternoon/night. So friday afternoon is when I will check and reply to all the interesting posts. I will allow myself one post in the thread for that visit. Hopefully this will save some time out here in the real world.

Last time I posted somthing like this, I wound up posting even more... weird.

Anyways, I definately plan on supporting enworld into the future, even if it is not everyday.

See you all friday.

Aaron.

Alas, I have come to the same conclusion, but nonetheless will be there everyday.

We will watch your postcount!

That's what you really meant!

Personally I'll probably cut back too, as I'm wasting time that I need for developing my adventures and campaign stuff, and I'm spending way too much time in off-topic fora, I'd still be coming here on a monday for History in your game - even if its occasional its still a monday thread.

I'd like to step away, too... but I'm posting from work.

Ironic CROTHIAN was first to respond to a "Leaving for a while" post.

Funny. Until maybe two days ago I hadn't been on the boards since November. Not that I am a regular contributor, but I would usually pop on a few times a week. But then I started a new relationship and the holidays were here and we were playing D&D every Sunday for 8-10 hours, and i was shovelling snow, and ....... you get the picture. There is a big ass world out there, man. Go get in it and take a break from the computer screen. You'll find that not only will you have more to contribute when you do come back on, but the place won't seem as mundane as it sometimes can when you're on everyday.

Cheers
