| Re: What happens to regular users that leave? A lot of us were part of the fighting and flaming that took place back then. I am definitely no saint here. I chose to clean up my act. |

| Re: What happens to regular users that leave? There were a bunch of big fights because guys like Pvt Package and his CS cronies would troll the boards looking for trouble. Most of the trouble came from the members who joined the forum for casual chat, not having any interest in anything related to computer modifications. |

and just about nobody else. Once the xoxide cs servers closed most of them left, and a lot of them never came over here anyway. Unless I'm forgetting some people.
EDIT: god my old posts are awful.

| Re: What happens to regular users that leave? I personally lost interest. A lot of the cool people got banned and the forums just died for a while. Even now, the posts are few and scarce when compared to how it used to be. Hell, even I was an admin here for a little bit. LOL. |

| Re: What happens to regular users that leave? I always was on xoxide forums for EVER i would always rush home from school and run to the forums and i was friends with many people. when i really stopped dropping by here was when there were tons of little kids posting "tyte modzzzzz!!!111!!!" and it made the fun of the forum kinda go away. at the same time i got more into other things than just computers i got into cars and jeeps more and serious girlfriends. I think that many people had similar things happen to them also. i drop in every so often and read some threads and stuff maybe ill stick around a little more i have a mod idea of some sort that im going to try to put to gather. |

One day you're acting like a goofball and riding skateboards at the mall, the next day you're married with 3 kids and a mortgage. |

| Re: What happens to regular users that leave? I'm still waiting on that whole "adulthood" thing.
I could launch in to some complaints about the pacing of my life but then that'd open me up for some forum criticism/psych evals from the peanut galleries. :p Generally, no need to share myself any further than that. |
