WARNING! This blog will contain a sizable amount of QQ. If you aren't immune to lots of bawww, do not continue any further.

So lately i've just been entirely disinterested in Starcraft, and especially in Teamliquid. It used to be that when i got a free hour or two to sit down on the internet, i would try to think up some way to contribute to the site. Now that FragKrag has started doing all the technical help around here, a task that was actually starting to take up time in my day, i've no way left to contribute to Teamliquid. While i could continue to write stories about drug dealing and all of that, there seems to be little point in that level of ego stroking. Because i don't want to be one of the brainless 1 line posters that everyone dislikes, i'm fairly sure i won't be posting around here much anymore. I've got more important things to do with my time than hanging out on the internet. I'm sorry to say i guess i've just finally outgrown Teamliquid, Starcraft, and video games in general (although i still have a strong interest in computer hardware for some reason)

Meh happens to me every once in a while. Since 98 I've had 2 year breaks on about 3 occasions, where I just completely lost interest. While I play other games sometimes (rarely) it's always been bw that drew me back in eventually.

Eh i feel a bit the same but more because of the Sc2 schism and having less time to play because of my studies.
But i will still browse and make a couple of one liners once in a while :D
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Good luck. It is always unhealthy to force yourself into something your heart is not into- it works in very strange ways. I hope whatever new interest that pick you up serves you well in the future

I go in and out of shit all the time. Mainly, out of Starcraft when I realize how bad I am at it. lol

Do what you want... this site has enough loyal denizens to take care of it for many more years of self important snobery and elitist n00b bashing. I'm sure you'll be warmly welcomed back should you decide to return.

Being disinterested doesn't mean you outgrow it necessarily.

Also I think it's kind of lame to say that your time is too valuable to do what we are all doing.

Yeah, Especially if he's dealing drugs too, how is that in any way productive?

With regards to the actual post, good luck with life... hopefully you'll return some time!

You probably will be back. I'm finding TL pretty uninteresting for the most part too, but I can't keep away. I just love theorycrafting... and it's so easy to quit games, but so hard to quit something so accessible as browsing.

Also disinterested means 'without bias'
I'm pretty sure you mean uninterested (in case you are going to take the SAT's soon this could be pretty important)
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I feel that way too...but I still stick around when I'm procrastinating, or really don't have anything else to do.

Don't worry about contributing, just have your fun here on the site...after all, it sounds like you've contributed a hell of a lot more than I have...lol.

Aww, it is your first taste of the Post - Contribute - Burn Out - Leave TL for a while/post less - come back cycle. I'm on my 6th or 7th iteration of the cycle at this point (although I only really contributed back in the clan art days, since then I've just been a relatively useless poster.)

Don't worry, you'll be back if you want to be, and if you don't I'm sure nobody will hold it against you.

this is very true.

except that i only had one cycle of it and have been a useless poster ever since.

infact, i respond a lot more often than people think. I'll read a thread and compose a reply, even proof read it and edit for sakes of clarity. And then before i hit 'post' i get disgusted with either what i'm saying, or my attempt to care or contribute, and close my broswers instead.

i probably do this for 75% of my responses.

you havent quit. you will be back you drug dealin bastard!

Edit: Mora I do the same thing. At first I was all "yeah lets contribute!" and tried my hand at uploading videos to stage six and stuff. Then baezzi came and started raping shit up and most technical questions were getting answered before i could even open up the topic. Now I find myself posting 100% useless shit and one liners, hence I barely try and post at all. Look at my above original post, thats the kindof shit that comes out of me

I only ever really post if i feel I can contribute something to a discussion that hasnt been said before, or to thank someone who deserves gratitude from TL as a whole
that makes up around 40% of my posts, the rest is mostly just me insulting people i disagree with while trying to stay under the mod radar and within the commandment boundaries

No he posted another story about his delusional life of drug trafficking and how he got busted with 85 billion pounds of cocaine so he posted his own bail so he could get on the internet and let us know he's going to jail for the rest of his life. It go closed since it was a classic case of someone implicating themselves in illegal activity while never actually supplying any proof under the guise of being afraid of incriminating themselves (while posting about on the internet no less) which in 95% of cases means it's made up entirely
