BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!
Default What are you going to do when totse shuts down?

Full first post recovered from the forum's own RSS feed - reply count unknown.
How are you going to fill in your spare time when Jeff shuts the server down for the last time?

I, myself, have no idea. When I first came here I was an addict for playing Halo: Combat Evolved online. Then slowly I got more and more fond of posting on totse and fraternizing with the community base.

Slowly my interests started to dwindle as fast as totse was changing my IRL personality.

Totse taught me to be more of an objective thinker and view things in different lights. As a result I'm a more cynical person, at the same time I'm more assertive/forward IRL. Totse has taught me to think on my feet, not to hesitate giving someone the finger who cut me off in traffic (or blast their horn at me).

With totseans being a huge influence molding my personality, totse has become a proxy to the world for me. You guys were here when I needed advice, you were here when I needed to vent, and the majority of you were a shoulder to lean on. Totse shutting down feels to me as its severing a huge part of that away from me.

Believe it or not you were with me IRL. Totse for me was also a mental rolodex of advice, comebacks, conversation, and even lines to use during sexual intercourse.

I'm not sure what to do now. After work I would always have a shower, make myself dinner, then jump on totse to see what was new and I would spend hours here. As pathetic as it sounds, this closure is going to be a huge void in my day-to-day life.

As I said before, I'm not sure what it is going to be filled with. Thanks to totse I'm sick of games and watching TV in my free time. I guess I can go out a little more, get a few of my mates to join a gym and we can go together for something to do, and maybe even go clubbing a bit more. But there still will be nothing for me to do to relax, unwind, when I'm by myself with nothing to do.

I've offered Jeff to host this site on one of my servers in my home office, but I'm not holding my breath of hearing back from him.

Well thats my departing message.

How is this closure going to impact you?

PS: I just took a screen shot of this screen (me writing this message) as this will be the last time I create a new thread.
