Taking A Break From MB

Guybrush · 08-24-2010, 06:56 AM

Goodbye threads are a bit silly, but I figure (hope) people would be curious about why I'm not around or even possibly banned, so in order to clarify ..

I have the feeling people on MB think of me as a hard worker, but the opposite is closer to the truth when it comes to the work I should be doing in my real life outside these forums. I feel like Musicbanter is quite a distraction and right now, I need to rid myself of distractions so that I can focus on the work I should be doing.

So, I'm planning on taking a break very soon which should last until about mid-november

I'm trying to get someone else to run the weekly themes, theme comps and PFAC club and so on and when all that's sorted, I'll ask for a tempban. I'm not sure if mods can ban eachother, so possibly a demotion is required which would involve help from Yac so then it could be a few days before I'm gone.

Anyways .. I'll miss you guys. Catch you on the flipside!

Hopefully this works for you tore. If you feel as though you need it then i think it's a good idea.

I also think that mods can ban each other. Obvioiusly i have never tried but the option seems to be there.

See you in a few months!

Aw, a shame, but I understand. Good luck with whatever you need to work on, Tore. Research of some sort?

Good that you're letting us know what's happening so we don't wonder where the hell you went! Good luck with all the stuff you've got to take care of in real life

See you in November!

****! 2010 has been a bad year for MB, one great member after another gone, you're no exception man. Good luck, and hope to see you back around sometime soon.

They can't...I know...I tried!

Take it easy Tore. If you put half the amount of energy into your real life as you do behind the scenes, you'll be back in no time.
