Like I said earlier...
We will probably be here when you do want to talk about the Barves. It'll come and there is no shame in coming back.
Many of us here have been interacting since 2008 or maybe even longer for some. We know about my truck and Rusty the dog.
It would be a shame to lose all contact. That's why I started this bored when the old place went belly up. I didn't do it to make money or for a ton of keen insight into solving the world's problems.

I know you've put a ton of time and energy into this and I appreciate it more than I can say. I started posting on that old bored around 2000 or 2001, and when they pulled it out from under us there were people I had been joking with and conversing with for 15 years, and it really sucked, they were just gone. I did feel like they were friends because it had gone on so long. I think both jah and Nightman go back as far as that 2000 to 2001 time period as people I considered friends for that long, and having both of them stop posting sucks. I hope they're ok, especially Nightman. We know jah had quit for extended periods before, but it's not like Nightman to stay away very long, especially with the Braves doing what they did. It's not like him to just let all that happen and not be here talking about it.

Enjoy your retirement. I have a feeling you're not the retiring kind, though. You'll be actively doing something productive, I'm sure

Enjoy your retirement. I have a feeling you're not the retiring kind, though. You'll be actively doing something productive, I'm sure Thanks. I’m just doing a 75% retirement from work. I’m rejoining life. After all the work I’ve put in it’s almost surreal that I’ve finally reached this point. It’s shocking to suddenly find I can do it six years earlier than I expected. I guess at 65 I can call it 100% and collect benefits. w00t.

Just politely saying goodbye to people I consider friends, I've been posting with some of these guys for 15, maybe 20 years. I didn't want to just leave like Nightman and jah did. Like several people here I wish they wouldn't have just disappeared without a word, I really hope those guys are ok.
You on the other hand are a real a-hole and you're cordially invited to go f*** yourself.
Dang I thought our relationship had improved. Guess I was wrong, my comment was in jest. you in return though.

I've had enough, I'm tossing in the towel!
80% of the reason is for the good. We were expecting to have our house paid off in 6 years, and I've recently discovered we can move a pretty large sum of money without penalty and just pay the damn house off within a few months. Once I do that I can take about a 75% retirement, which is going to allow me to tackle all kinds of projects and dreams that have been accumulating for 25 years.
Whilst I've been running my business it's kept me near a computer 18 hours a day, so it was always easy to hop on here and there and make a few posts. Things are going to be way different now, I'll hardly ever be around a computer, and when I am it's going to be purely work related and the goal is going to be to get the hell away from it as quickly as possible.
The other 20% of the reason I'm quitting is I'm tired of the a-holes and arguments you find all over the internet. I've been doing it for 20 years now and I just don't have the desire to continue.
At least I'm not being a butthole like jah or Nightman, who both have forsaken us here with nary a word. Terrible rotten human beings, both of them! Made of the same stuff that no good bravepap is.
Just up and leave a bunch of friends you've made and vanish into thin air.
I'll be on here through the election, in the baseball forum and political forum. Once the election is decided, I'll be done. I'll be going back to completely ignoring politics again, like I did the first 90% of my life.
Most likely I'll make a post or two way down the road once in awhile just to check in on everybody, for the most part of I've enjoyed a hell of a lot of good stuff we've talked about here and on the old bored, there's been a lot of good people and good times.
A plea to &%^$#$@&UKERY...

I think I started posting in college around 2008 on the old bored. I am still furious that place disappeared. My greatest prediction ever was an in depth post on a rebuild and moving the stadium north with a Wrigleyville of our own. I obviously could not predict the trade returns and whatnot but I got BLASTED for my opinion on blowing up the team. Nightman and yourself are the only ones that had my back. Pop in from time to time sir.

Two things I can promise--I will pop in and say hello, it may be 6 months or 8 months or whatever, but I will from time to time. And secondly, if I do ever start posting a few times a week anywhere ever again it will be here. I post in four different places, this is by far my favorite, and by far the only one that I would ever post on again. The other three I'm deleting my account and I am totally done forever on all of them. The truth is those others are the ones that burned me out. I'm just stopping here because I'm going to be so busy and not around a computer and I do need to get away for awhile. And I may just throw my phone in a bottomless lake somewhere, lords knows I want to!

Kudos on the retirement. I think COVID killed the vibe on sports in general. I took a massive hiatus and Nightman has been MIA. He covers a lot of the analytics in depth for us plebes so maybe he will make his way back. I’m a little bitter you are leaving me with the management and Westie but it is what it is and I’m happy for ya.

The management is the only thing keeping the trains running on time.

Like I said, its not a repulsion to this site, it's the whole internet thing altogether, I just need a break from it and the timing is perfect now for that because I'll be so busy with so many things.
I think management does a helluva job here, especially considering what his salary is.
You'll always have smellyfartbreath to help you through things!
