Rappy Veteran Posted July 10, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 10, 2011 I have been on Neowin for near 9 years now and over those 9 years I have been called many things...Spammer being probably the most common word. So I set a target in my head and I wanted to reach it and when I did I would call it quits and lurk for a year or so....so this is the target and its time to fulfil that promise of the lurk. So from now until maybe July 2012...there will no new posts from me...let someone else cover the Media Room (and other sections!) (Y) long live the lurk!

If anything you will create a RappyV2 and get that account to 80k posts too. Either way, grats man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted July 10, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'd say I'd pick up the slack in your absence but I don't think I can have that kind of attention span, and I'm too lazy :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team_NOOB Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Oh thank god, the end to excessively large movie covers :p 80K is quite an accomplishment - congrats Rappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I don't understand this. Your contribution to Neowin has earned you a MVC tag which shows that you have given the site a lot. Your posts help Neowin grow in a sense and that goes for all the other members. It sounds like you're wanting to stop because of something that perhaps people have said to you and honestly if that's the case you should look past it and continue to contribute to the site if that is what you enjoy doing. As you know, I was once a news reporter and despite no longer in that position I try to contribute to the site because I enjoy the site, enjoy the people and enjoy seeing the site grow, effectively giving everyone on the site a better experience. tl;dr, If you enjoy contributing to the site continue, if you're bored of doing so then I wish you farewell. If your choice is to stick to your guns, it was great seeing you around these parts. You will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
