I can honestly say that I feel like my life is better for it. It's not that I don't like you guys, I do. It's not like I haven't cared for this community, I have... it's just that I feel like MB has always been my escape from reality, and now I've embraced reality and all of its ups and downs. I've accepted myself, my life, and the people around me (even if they bug me sometimes). I don't feel like I need this community any more. At all.

I will probably still pop in every once in awhile, if only to check out new tunes (just because I'm not around don't mean I'm not still listening to good music!), but if I just disappear altogether, don't be too worried. It just means I've moved on to my next adventure, and don't want to waste my time escaping reality any more.

I'm done escaping.

Be well, MB. I'll see ya 'round.
I think it's less about "MB" and more about doing things other than sitting behind a computer screen all day, regardless of the website you're on.

Don't worry. I'm sure no one in their right mind is taking it personally.

That's the thing though with how much technology we have nowadays you don't have to be sitting down behind a computer screen all day. You can be connected to the online world at all times with mobile devices and tablets. It's a non-issue. You can be out and about enjoying life and check on things online while out in the world.

I assumed, that to even the least perceptive people I've ever come across, the concept would naturally and obviously extend to any form of reliance on online "virtual" pursuits versus the world happening around them and their participation in it. Specifically, in the sense that the problem is one specific website versus a general reliance.

The fact that I need to even spell that out for the sake of having included the word "computer screen" leads me to believe you either know what I meant and are trolling, or don't know what I meant and somehow have ended up with less ability than the least perceptive people I've ever come across.

No offense or anything.
I might just be hanging out with geniuses and am a genius myself. Feel free to calculate those odds.

You can also be out and about and oblivious to the real world because you spend all your time staring at your phone.

An elderly man said to me today I will crash into something as I was so focused on my phone. What a wise man. I've already injured myself two times because of it. And I never learn.

Vanilla: I was bored so watched some old MB Cafe videos the other day. Has the cutest accent/smile I've seen.

Hermoine: my good pal. Top person. One member I'd totally like to meet one day.

DJ: He's alright despite having a pretty bad music taste. Willi.a.m top artist on Last FM?!? C'mon dude.

216: Pussy.

HHBH: Top guy, funny and intelligent when necessary. Don't back up his music taste by any accounts though.

Paul Smeenus: Wise old man. Quite like him despite that we have little in common.

Fred Hale Sr: Same as above. My dude though, need to see a picture of him.

Ki: Likes some bad music, bro.

Fluffy Kittens: I bet you're actually white. Still a top guy though. Respect his football knowledge.

Mondo Bungle is the best noob we've had in years, flawless taste, silly name, silly neighbours.

Everyone else: ur all peasants

Peasants: I don't really care that much about ur existence but it amuses me how mad ppl get when I give them silly nicknames that really mean absolutely nothing to me but it shits me up to see you care so much about the opinion of someone you denigrate....

u mad?
I'm still a noob? I've been here for two years.
