I think the reason I quit going coming to AO was not due to any politics, more so simply because I got a better understanding of computers, and didn't feel the need to come as often. I also didn't frequent the forums enough to 'get to know' anyone personally. Most of what I did was just reading threads. Thats why most of you probably won't even remember who I was. the most important (and really only) personal thing I remember is when gore got engaged and married. I don't know, maybe its just me, but maybe if people were more personable, it would be more difficult for people like me to leave. If we took the time to get to know the people who are newer members, maybe they'd have a more difficult time leaving. I think that may have played a part in why it was just so easy for me to stop coming.
PS: I'm off college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to kill. That means I could be back, whether you like it or not :D
