Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, guests can no longer search the forum or view user accounts. At some point in the future Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability and the lifting of these restrictions. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Well, good luck with your 'new' life but why deleting your account ? You never know, you may pop up here from time to time just to say hello ;)

Yeah, good luck.
But my question is different - why bother to ANNOUNCE a departure?
This, to me, seems like just some form of "seeking attention".

Or just the personification of this beloved Disney character:

Good you decided to keep your account open - you never know when you might need to ask a question someday.

Be well. :)

Small Break From Eclipse

Post by xperceniol_sal »

After returning to this great forum I realized perhaps I should have stayed gone from computer forums and just stay on my mental health forum for now. Besides, this is unhealthy for me and I'm honestly not doing very well anyway. I'm in full psychosis and I'm working hard to get myself back to somewhat normal. So for now, I'll also be taking a short break (won't even read) and maybe one day I'll return. My paranoia has shot through the roof this evening and this isn't good.

Folks I'm trying my hardest to get past addiction to prescription medications and I wrongly thought this would help to get back in touch with old forum friends. For now, I"ll leave my account open and if I'm unable to contribute better, I'll ask the admin here to close my account. I need to get outside more as my agoraphobia is kicking back in. Sorry possum for choosing your thread to exit but I always considered you to be a good friend and perhaps I should take a page from your book and disappear.

Anyways:

I hope you are enjoying a nice life down there and I do think of you often with fond memories. I will always remember the friendship between K4sum1 and I, but maybe its time to cut ties for health reason(s). Besides, I'm the only of few people here still using XP and this forum is for Vista and 7 users. I would go full Linux at some point given the choice.

I mean, hey, I can't complain too much, I had a good run but I need to focus on real life now and somehow (no idea how) but to stop this cycle and now is the time. Also I pissed off Duke for deleting 3 postings about depression accusing me of ruining threads (my own thread - go figure that). Its Okay and OK and I was wrong, but I'm only human and just trying to survive my day-today happenings. I NEVER claimed to be perfect and I'm mentally ill. I'm not happy and that is bad. Just taking it day-by-day now and I never know what I'm going to wake up to in the morning now. Struggling folks.

All the best to you old buddy and thank you for just being YOU. Never apologize to anybody, and remember, you are human and we are all imperfect. Nobody is perfect and watch out for those that claim otherwise.

All the best to the Eclipse community and everybody try to be healthy and happy if possible - not easy in this toxic society that hates me.

Bye bye for now and no reply needed :)

I see no good reason for closing your account and you may regret it later.
You need a break ? No problem, just do it and come back whenever you want, whenever you feel it's ok for you.
It's not that important. This is just a forum, use it at will. Nothing to justify to anyone.

Good idea, that's always better than staying in front of a computer 16 hours a day :)

Same, I'll fully go the Linux way sooner or later but surely not the Windows 11 route.

Thank you, Duke and I'll leave my account open because I might regret it later but I will take that break for maybe a few months to recover. Besides I wasn't doing very well that evening I wrote that. I did get outside yesterday two times and it was strange but I know I need sun.

I hope you are well.
