With time, we all grow and the internet is not an exception to that rule. Some of us move on in life to pursue higher education for opportunities that hopefully lead to prosperous careers, while others go straight into the work. Eventually the time will come for us all to slowly withdraw from ATRL and allow a new generation to blossom. We can't all expect to stay on ATRL forever as a frequent and active poster (realistically that is).
ATRL has seen some iconic members pass through its server over the years and you can check Ace's "Most Essential Members" list to get an idea of those said members. Some have moved on with their lives outside of ATRL, while others remain posters here today. Surely, we can't be in our 50's chatting with youngsters about Pop culture online...or can you?
When do you think you'll leave or back out of ATRL? How much time do you give your self before you eventually walk away like other members have?
anyway, im slowly spending lease n lease time here dan what i used to. however, i dont think i'll permanently leave dis place any time soon unless i get a permaban.
As long as it keeps being fun, then I'll stick around for now. But as I finish school and move into other pursuits in the next couple of years, then I'll probably begin to leave ATRL. It's really hard to imagine how long exactly I'll stay...
