Good to know it's not dead. Don't make me brand it another Duke Nukem Forever as I just did with Second Sky on the Swano forum . Don't go bankrupt before you finish it Max.
Who the fuck are you?

You will get the copy that I owe you. I have not forgotten. I shall be redeemed.
I have missed this forum.

Yea I deactivated mine today. I'm sick of logging in and seeing my friends daily horoscope/farmville/bejeweled/ updates. Nobody gives a flying fucking shit if your lucky number is 14 and your field accrued 15 bushels of cotton. I wouldn't detest this site so much if it didn't permeate my workplace. The other day a co-worker niggard out of his assignments because he wanted to play on his fucking computer all night. Therefore I had to do every bullshit task that came in while he cyberpapi'd the night away.

With minimal effort you can hide those apps so you don't have to see them anymore. I blocked all FB apps a while back when I discovered 5 trojans on my computer. Smooth sailing ever since. I enjoy the site though. It's my main form of communication with my relatives, and we have a hoot with it.

So what are the odds on his inevitable return to the world of facebook? My money is on on 6 weeks.

FB has allowed me to realize that I don't like some people as much as I thought I did. It has also connected me to a few people that I lost contact with nearly 20 years ago. From that standpoint, I do find it to be a worthy investment.
yeah, ditto.
I also cannot believe how boring most people's lives are. (not that mine is so exciting)

it's not much to bring yourself to
you call up your broadband provider and youre like "hey bro, you know what, cancel my account please. what do you mean theres a three month cancellation period, that's bullshit. i'm not intending to use it anyway so i'm going to return your crappy adsl modem tomorrow and you're still going to charge me for three months even though i will be unable to use the service? that's bullshit and you know it. well. bye bro."
also it's a good call to make even if you're not REALLY intending to cancel because they will inevitably try to lower your rates or give you some sort of special offer just to get you to stay

Hello
You know what, it is possible to have internet at home and lead a fulfilling social life/play music/have hobbies at the same time. Dat dere thang they call the interwebz can be a useful source of information, and it's pretty gay to have to wait until Monday if you wanna check something out on the net Friday afternoon (I take it you have internet access at work).
What I wanna know is, why did you cancel your subscription? Internet addiction? Some bogus, romantic notion of going back to ye golden days of old where people went roaming in the woods instead of sitting in front of a computer?
I realise I sound hostile and/or pissed off in this post, which is not my intention. Just curious, is all. And no, I'm not an internet addict. I just find it lulzy when people smash their TV and broadband modem so that they can do "more useful shit in their spare time".

because i'm having a weird period of life when I don't know what I want and need and not sure if I really need what I want....so i'm being a bit lost (it's lasting for about 24 years)

not for me. i have a bonafide internet addiction thing going on where i can get nothing useful done if i have internet access
you're old enough to remember when internet access was unavailable or uncommon to the regular guy -- you're old enough to know that people used to manage without wikipedia. it's not a big deal after a week or two.
addiction, yeah. i was neglecting my artistic endeavours, friends & family, girlfriend etc. the internet is stupid and unnecessary.
it's "lulzy" because you don't know "where i'm coming from" and you don't see this shit from the perspective that i do. if i had a tv i would watch simpsons reruns every day and hate myself a lot. if i had internet i would sit here 12 hours a day. so forcibly removing myself kinda works for me, but people with stronger willpower will not need to not own a tv or have internet access.
anyway
the reason i am here now is i just found an unprotected WLAN in my house so now i involuntarily have free internet
and my girlfriend is here in the couch and it is our six month anniversary today yet here i am, postin'

I have a similar problem. Like I can be on the internet all my free time browsing some cool photo-art (fuck flickr!) etc, reading some "useful" info, playing UT (good thing Im not into a "funny" sites or demotivators shit) instead of doing something really useful (or at least not that bad for your health\eyes), - and I'm sure it has something to do with laziness too. I had an idea about cutting it off too, but then I thought that it'd be a weakness of me - like just getting rid of the "irritant" by limiting your own self but not winning it with your strength and common sense, so I decided to fight against my own self but leaving the problem right in front of me. And you know what? Still no luck.

been there done that, doesn't work
you know you can just as easily turn that table and see what you're doing as succumbing to weakness, that you don't actually have the guts to do something about the problem but instead fool yourself to think that you have more "strength and common sense" that you obviously do
i got to the point where i felt so disgusted with myself that i literally cut the cat5 cable with a pair of scissors
also i felt really ridiculous before i had to admit that this was a REAL addiction, honestly and literally as bad as any drug addiction, but it is.
