    For Good....... just say...... All contacts on here would be shut off, you would have no way of contacting anyone on here that you may have done before or do now, you would be left as you stand now, still with your family and friends, work colleagues in whatever capacity you enjoy them in real life, but without those you now know onscreen through this forum. Would you be able to pick your life back up and carry on. I don't ask this lightly, I just wonder after reading a few posts recently in the last couple of years just how seriously some hold this forum almost to the point that it seems central to their lives (and that maybe so).

    How would you feel?

    well unless they shut doen the whole net, we woud find each other. yes boards like this have been a major help, esp for me. I am very grateful for this avenue of social interaction and it is good and terribly sad to read all the stories of abuse. there are so many that have suffered form unspeakable abuse and from just plain hatefulness of the "brothers". At least i have somewhere to go to talk about it. The net is a wonderful thing.

    Scooby,

    I would miss many of the people here but if as you describe, there was no recourse, I would just find a new obsession.

    well I have been on discussion boards before when they shut down on me.. I must admit at the time it was like a lifeline to me.. and I hadn't bothered to imagine that day could ever happen, so I didn't have emails written down, etc.. when I found it closed, I cracked open a bottle of Windsor Whiskey and proceed to call one of the few online friends who I did have a contact to.. and he talked to me all night while I proceeded to get drunk... I learned a good lesson.. never assume something is going to be around forever.. have a balance in life and if people are important to you.. get email addresses!! I also have many here that I talk to on msn and yahoo chat.. so I wouldn't lose touch with them either even if the site shut down.

    Well Scooby...your question followed by your dumb parameters deserves dissecting and wednesday did a good job. How is it that we could lose track of all the people we talked to here? Is this like an Intertnet Armageddon? Ah but wait! We still have the luddite dubbies around to comfort us!....What a STUPID QUESTION AND ANOTHER CROCK OF SHIITE FROM SCOOBY....*sighs* lame lame lame..

    Sincerely,

    District Overbeer

    Valis..... It was just a hypothetical question amongst many that I'm sure have been posted here before by others.

    There is really no need to bring your personal views of me into this thread in the way you do, I'm tired of reading it, and I'm sure as Forum assistant it doesn't serve your "position" well. Enuff.

    BTTT.
