I'm leaving AO, I cant take it anymore!

I always swore to myself that if I left AO, I'd go out quietly without letting anybody know. But this time it's gone too far. I feel I deserve my last rant. If anybody has noticed that I've been posting less, it's for a reason. The quality of this site is degrading. The new updates just add fuzz to a site with an ugly interior. There are too many forums now, and I haven't seen a single debate about anything computer related. No, it's just worthless **** about 'existence' that don't belong on a Security site.

And then the IRC. I don't go to the IRC. The ops are evil. They don't give anyone a fair chance. Just like this forum. Moderators? Censors, I say! This site was nice when I first found it, but now? It's just like any old neophyte forum.

And antipoints? Don't even get me started on them. Just artificial image enhancers. People are defined by the green boxes under their names. And most of the people with the APs don't deserve them. So there you have it! I promise never to post again!

Goodbye, once and for all! Oh, geez, look at the calender. What's the date. April 1? Well what do you know, it's April Fool's Day! I think this is starting to come together. I haven't had a good prank all day, I was starting to feel the symptoms of withdrawal and then I had this brilliant thought. So there you have it, Happy April Fools Day everyone! I'd never leave this site, I'm too addicted, and if I do, I swear I will go quietly.

They always say that there's a little truth in what people say jokingly....

Anyway, you had me fooled. I was just about to post "You'll be back.....They always come back."

We all have noticed the quality of the fourms dieing slowly... When i first came to AO there was barley any flameing going on and i was not introduced into a flame war for a alright amount of time... Right now it seems like banning users does little to nothing, negative antipoints just shows that if they have more then 2 red boxs their basicly a chat nazi...

We all know that we have gotten ALOT of negative and positive points we didnt not deserve... but then again if we are all gettin them for the same sort of stuff it all sorts of evens out in the end to a point...

I tried to leave AO as some of you may rember... and i did not last longer then 48 hours... But i have noticed recently that i have found NOTHING on this website i found worth posting to other then this fourm in the last 2 and a half weeks....... thats a pretty logn time considering i check in here EVERYDAY basicly...

All good things must come to a end... itd be a shame to see it end like this though

your friend in net space,

...if anything at all. I agree with Alcatraz completey. Everything he said is true... I'm actually surprised why he, himself, isn't a damned moderator himself! Then again... he wants to abolish it. Censors he says...and I say it with him. And this, dear friends...is no joke, no game, no foolish attempt to stir up un-needed attention.

Maybe my time is comming soon?...

well then.. as we know, the only secure computer is one that's unplugged from the network or phone line.

as for general security tips...

1. lock your doors/ set the alarm / arm yourself with a flamethower.
2. don't piss off lorry/truck drivers and allow them to box you in.
3.wipe the damn toliet seat, or you'll get clocked in the head while dreaming of your fanasties coming true.

Well Ive never seen anyone leave so blunty as you were going to right now here on AO, but on HDC yes, and on H3c yes... and so on. Anyway its good to know your not going anywhere. And if you do, watch out for the giant green low-to-the-ground signs; when you're driving a truck, they'll kill ya ;).

But on a serious note.... I am considering leaving, probably when I get 1000 posts :(
AO is just too much, in a good way... All of the updates features... I can barely keep up with it all :-/

April Fool's Day. What a holiday..
I suppose everyone has their moments. Even fools.
They have a whole day dedicated to them. But why??
I really don't see the purpose in the holiday.
