February 16, 201214 yr Well to start off I'd like to thank Tif Administration for giving me a 3 month bank that ended today.I'm not being sarcastic either. 3 months ago, the ban gave me the final courage to break away from RS and the community completely. I had quit RS before, but Tif always made me come back in one way or another. In the beginning, I was pissed off at the Tif admins and pretty much thought they needed to seriously take a chill pill, but it actually helped my life as a whole. I managed to successfully quit this time around. For the last 3 months, I had no desire at all to come back. This at first felt like a good thing. Over the course of the 3 months, the people who knew me in real told me I've changed. They said I've become a much nicer, funnier person. My tennis coach who I just started to interact with for the first year a few weeks ago told me that this year he sensed a much greater level of maturity. Somehow being disconnected has changed me for the better. I sensed that I was taking a lot more chances in real life with friends and girls, and I finally noticed who my real friends were. I've gotten better at many different aspects of my life which were probably taken up by tif and RS. For the last few months, I was rarely at home. I became seriously involved in school activities and extra curriculars, and every time I did end up having some free time, all I wanted to do was go out. I didn't want to do the opposite (stay inside). However, I feel like this time around, moderation was all I needed. The three month ban helped me quit an addiction and start occasional posting, and I have to thank tif admins for doing so. Oh, and I became addicted to 9gag. :rolleyes: I didn't expect to find off topic this empty though. What happened in the last 3 months that made it emptier? Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.
February 16, 201214 yr Oh, and I became addicted to 9gag. :rolleyes: I think it was you who posted about it and got me hooked on it. Dammit, Gabe. I can't really say why OT has been so slow lately. Possibly we're too busy on 9gag because of you now. But OT does go through cycles of activity/inactivity, and I think this is just us on the inactivity phase right about now.

February 16, 201214 yr It's good to have you back knowing that you've even made your life better. Will you be sticking around OT?
February 16, 201214 yr Author Good to hear Gabe. I need to get your e-mail so we can stay in contact. Is that okay with you? Sure I'll pm it to you. It's good to have you back knowing that you've even made your life better. Will you be sticking around OT?Yeah I like the community. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.
February 16, 201214 yr Glad to hear stuff is going well for you irl :) I also go on 9gag a lot but I don't really post or comment on anything. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
February 16, 201214 yr Author Glad to hear stuff is going well for you irl :) I also go on 9gag a lot but I don't really post or comment on anything. I don't either. If you like 9gag have you checked out Reddit? Nah I haven't. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.
February 16, 201214 yr If you find yourself spending too much time on a video game or a forum site, getting banned is a good way to disconnect since you no longer have anything to return to that keeps you distracted from real life. Some people would argue that that demonstrates a lack of self-control in the first place and and that you're basically an idiot if you have to resort to getting banned, but at least you're making the effort to eliminate any distractions from your goals in real life. I think that's the only thing that really matters. Anyway, hope you enjoy what you're doing with your life. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.
February 16, 201214 yr I've noticed the same since I quit as well, high five! If you like 9gag have you checked out Reddit? Ahh reddit. Some parts of it are quite interesting, the others.... not so much.
February 16, 201214 yr Nice to see someone took the situation and made it an opportunity to improve themselves. Sadly, I feel bad for actually forgetting about you too, and my memory is rather good. Welcome back by the way.
February 16, 201214 yr :thumbup: RIP Michaelangelopolousu can control my tip it account, but youll never control how fine i am!This is by FAR my favorite song: I love N_odie and would never edit his posts! I love Rainy_Day too <3 And also Cowman_133. <33 Oh, and Laikrob is a going to hunt me down and kill me like a pest kangaroo if I reveal how awesome she is. I owe tripsis skittles. DarkDude feels like he's missing out. This is my siggy! - n_odie Rainy_Day MINE! - n_odie Rainy_Day And meol shouldn't feel left out. Oh, and Y_Guy is a noob awesome
February 16, 201214 yr Good to hear you're doing good. :-) Ty Jeppoz for making it. Thx to the Pup for finding it after it got lost :D And thx to Kill_Life and Turtle for the ava.

February 16, 201214 yr Not sure replacing it all with 9gag is a good thing :blink: But grats. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)RIP Michaelangelopolous
February 16, 201214 yr Good to hear Gabe, welcome back :) And yeah, sometimes OT just seems pretty dead, it's how we roll :razz: As an aside, after what I've found out about Reddit recently, I'm not planning on ever going there again. Long story short, it's basically 4chan except hidden behind a respectable looking site.

Reddit is so much worse. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men
February 16, 201214 yr Although, Reddit recently made the measures to clean it up a bit. Oh and welcome back, I was wondering where you went. "Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick." - Master Tang
February 17, 201214 yr Author Haha almost thought about applying for moderator just now. But I don't spend a lot of time on 9gag, but it's fun to view new posts. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.
February 17, 201214 yr Eew 9gag Seriously though, good to see you back, and glad every thing worked out for you.
