Do you think you could walk away?

Members of TMF have you ever felt like you could just one day out of the blue just up and walk away from TMF? I mean just stop posting, I often wonder if people could or have done it. I myself don't feel that I could just up and leave like that but I do feel that I could over time. is posting on this place(which is great) that important to you? can you live with out it? what makes you keep posting here? I love this place a lot, I feel I can express my love of tickling with you all and just have fun, however do you ever get the feeling that you want to leave? I do sometimes, but over the year+ year I have been here I have made many friends and enjoy posting and reading your post about tickling and real life stuff, however as of late I get the feeling that sometimes its just not as much fun as it once was. so do you ever think about this? I would really like to read and see what you think, so please give feedback and be honest. BTW this is NOT a bash on TMF I just wanted to express how I felt and be honest and open with you all. I still plan to post here but not as often as I once had, so let me know what you think. Have a great day 🙂
 
I almost did. Though for different reasons.

See, I have this habit of trying to drive people I care about away - especially when they're men.

I tried that more then once on a certain fellow here. The last attempt I took a list of all the things he's looking for in a woman and pointed out how I don't fit any of those things and therefore we would "never work." I know it's because I deeply care for him and therefore want him to find someone better then me as I still think I'm not good enough for him. No matter what he says.

He didn't speak to me - not even to chew me out for the list. I thought I succeeded and when about a week passed with no closure, I was ready to do my swan song post where I said goodbye and even ranted a bit to make sure no one would really miss me. But first I PMed him asking for closure.

Turns out he wasn't mad at me. So I'm still here.

Still instinctively looking for things that will drive him away even though I really don't want to.

You'd think the fact I'm a republican and like Bush would be enough. :blaugh:
 
i have. and usually it was due to circumstances i couldn't control. but...willingly? i dunno...i've made some friends on this thing and i hope to meet them in the near future. if i had to, it would be a difficult thing to do.

Silly, silly, silly. Don't you know there are enough people in the world willing to sabotage you, me, and everyone else they can? NONE of us, you included, need to do it to ourselves! Good for him, whoever he is, for not being fooled by your actions. He sounds like a rare person and one worth keeping in your life.

Angel 2, things ebb and flow, the TMF included. If it's not fun for you now, maybe you're just in a different place than you once were. Things change and our needs are different because of those changes. People come and go from here and elsewhere in our lives all the time. That's life. Only you can decide what you need and the level at which you choose to participate in anything at any given time.
 
I occasionally contemplate it.
I might at some point in time.
But not today, or this week.

I did on another forum I was active on for years and considered an "asset" to. I left then eventually went back and now I'm gone for good. I also left another forum I was on with no notice. But the TMF? I know that I could, but I don't see it happening. I have no drama, enemies or any reason to leave. I am still a n00b, so this might change, but I hope to not make enemies here and if I did, I don't think I could let anyone get to me so much that I would just leave.
 
This place is like everywhere else....there are good times, and there are bad times. It all depends on how you deal with it.
 
I could leave. Pretty easily, in fact. But there's so much more I want to accomplish while I'm here, that I won't for a while.

Yeah, well, I'm still trying to drive him away. It's second nature to me now. I can't get it out of my head that I'm not smart or pretty enough - or just all around good enough - for anyone. So I'm still trying to drive him away.

I've known people that have left and have never returned. I don't make the "tmf" my life. 😉 I mean it's fun to see what others like what they don't like that sort of thing. I choose to come here and post and respond when I'm in one of those moods. I know I can seperate myself and if I wanted to leave at some point I could and would no question. 😀
 
I can and I do. I post only a few times a month, if that. I read alot, but post little.

Could I? Yes. But why the hell would I want to?

That's what I was going to say. 😀

For the record, AMK714 has 14,700 posts, and last posted on January 30, a gap of over 9 months.

He may come back someday, but he's walked away for 9 months after making a huge number of posts.
 
Yes, I could. Over the last year, I've spent more time on the board, than in the chat. I used to spend more time in the chat, and hardly post. That has changed over the past year.
I most definitely could walk away at some point, and may very well do so. I dont know if that means in six months, a year, or 18 months. For now, I am here, but, down the road, who knows?

I probably could for a while, but I'm sure I would come back eventually. I disappeared from the tickling community for 2 or 3 years before, only keeping in touch with a single fellow ticklephile during that time (tero), so I know I am capable of it. I don't think I'd ever want to, though. I admit in the heat of anger or emotion I HAVE nearly walked away from this place, but once I calm down and come back to my senses I realize how foolish it probably is in the grand scheme of things.

At this point, though, I have far too many friends in the community to ever completely leave.
 
i certainly COULD walk away as i have a pretty full life outside the TMF, but i wouldnt want to. ive only been a regular here 8 months or so but ive seen people come and go during that time. I first came to the TMF mostly lurking and checking out content, but over the months ive met some very cool people here and honestly im here more for the interaction and conversation than anything else at this point. often times, the opinions and thoughts expressed here are much more intelligent than what i hear in the "real world".... :illogical
 
I don`t think this forum, or for that matter any forum was designed for members to spend 16 hours a day, 7 days a week logged on to. I`ve been a member four years and have seen quite a few people join and accumulate a couple thousand posts in just a few months, and all of a sudden leave abruptly, either because they got into a pissing match with a fellow member, or they simply burn themselves out posting so much. I personally am just now making friends here, and wouldn`t dream of leaving. It took me a while to realize there are some really cool people in the TMF. 😎
 
well when i first joined, the TMF was a life saver...kept me from dwelling on some issues i was facing at the time..i'm trying to wean myself from coming and posting as much anymore..like others here have said, i have made some really awesome friends on this forum..i've also had the snide remarks about the number of posts i've made in such a short time..frankly i don't care about that anymore..those same people who commented on the amount of posts i've made have spent as much time here as i have, but only to lurk, or try to cast disparaging remarks towards others..i am the happiest i have been in a long, long, time..and i have members here to thank for that..
