Whatever happened to..?

[SAJ-99]

The recent trend of deleting profiles seems to have a bit of a performative element to it.

I get that people get busy, but if that’s all it is then just stop posting for a while. @Sytes mentioned it- a bit or protesting or something is my guess, who knows?

I think killing the membership eliminates the urge to respond to stuff, because you no longer can. Just a theory. The internet and social media is an odd paradox- both incredibly informative and an incredible time suck. most threads, even if on good topics, go in circles. People don’t share much info and the people that do end up just getting their personal contact info and going that route. Anyone who hasn’t thought about pulling the plug on their social media accounts is probably the oddity.

now put into conversations and the history of that is gone if I reread something

It's still there - If someone quoted wllm, avid, or deleted:

He didn't change names. He deleted the account:


Your HT tombstone now reads:

Here rests UserID Deleted Member 28227. May his soul haunt / humor us under a new account...

Seems pretty drastic though to each his/her own. He sure threw down more time on the computer than anyone else here within the time frame since he joined.

Maybe the wife laid down the law last time he said:

Maybe the rubberized walls in the new basement sprung a leak? Speculation is endless.

I can't imagine deleting an account and still lurking here. But to each there own. Don't get me wrong I get giving this up. God knows it would reduce some nagging from the wife.

Is elegy word of the weak?

I think I'll wait until I draw a sheep tag and start a thread about it to delete my account. Suck everyone in and then poof, gone.

Yes sir, and not as time sensitive as eulogy.

After he changed his name, he has since deleted his account.

Too bad. I liked his takes.

Stocker has been mia for a while. I think he still checks in once in a while. Iirc his new years resolution was to spend more time not wasting his time ie stay off the internet etc.
