I joined SDMB waaaaay back in the late 90s. It was the first message board to which I posted. I’d read the books and wanted to get the column in our paper, but no dice. I don’t post much. I think I have about 500 posts in the past 6 years, I’m not much for talking, but I love to hear others’ opinions and ideas. This screen name used to mean something to me, but it doesn’t anymore. I had this name in chat and messengers and everwhere, but this is the last place online I still use it. I never developed an identity here, so no one will miss me for my wit, humor, snark, or whatever people with identities have. Life got confusing and painful about a year after I joined, so I stopped posting for a long time, dealing with things. I’m married to a wonderful man who is just as smart, snarky and funny as I am, we’ve decided to have some smart-ass kids to fight ignorance. Be safe, have fun and watch out for trolls. Unless you are one, then watch out for mods. ---

Are you ok? You don’t exactly sound ok. The board will be less without you. No, I don’t know you, but you sound pretty cool. Well, if you must go, have a happy and fulfilling life. tentative little wave bye… ---

Well, before you go, I think you should do some more posting, right here, in this thread. Tell us about you. For those of us who don’t know. ---

Just because you didn’t post much, doesn’t mean you aren’t a doper. You’ll be part of the “family” as long as you don’t become a dick like some people tend to. Besides, it’s only a few bucks. Skip out on McDonalds for a day and the subscription is paid. ---

> [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > I’ll probably be thought an asshole for this, but whatever. Hey, you’re right! I hate to be one of the “don’t like it, don’t read it crowd”, but it’s not as if the thread title is at all ambiguous. ---

Considering she’s not being snarky or mean but is simply saying goodbye right before her subscription runs out, yes, that’s entirely possible. Good luck with the kids, **AzRaek** , and with those things that need to be dealt with and maybe someday we’ll see you back around these parts again. If not then have a nice life. ---

Well, don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the . . . hey, wait a minute; you seem nice. And you write a nice post. Don’t go! This place needs all anonymous nice people it can get (looking meaningfully at **Lord Ashtar** ). Anyway, have a nice life, enjoy your smartass kids. It was nice knowing - er, not knowing you. Or something. Okay, 'bye. ---

> [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > I’ll probably be thought an asshole for this, but [whatever](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=306991). Seems that your original pit thread was bitching about people who were leaving because they were in a huff about \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (no need to rehash it). This thread has nothing to do with that. So yes, this is an asshole move on your part. That, or a chance to toot your own horn with a link to your very own thread that you started all by your very own self. Either way, nice showing. **AzRaek** , good luck with da chillins. 🙂 ---

**AzRaek** , you are a reminder of the silent eyes that read and watch. I feel sheepish. Now that I know you’re here and you’re pleasant and have a name and a voice, I will not like it that you’ve gone. But I do wish you happy babies! ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > What did the name mean six years ago? I’m not trying to be jerk here and I’m not usually the one who makes these type of connections, but Azreak sounds an awful lot like ‘Ass reek’ if you say it fast. I can see why you probably wouldn’t want it anymore. But then I’m usually wrong about these sorts of things. ---

Sure you won’t change your mind? You do sound nice … and I sometimes go for weeks and weeks without reading or posting, but I still have to hang around. I’ve been a member for a long time too! And probably don’t have much of an identity. But, I like a lot of the people here and would get too curious about their lives if I let my subscription go. Either way, take care! Think about us every once in a while! ---

I also don’t care. I’ve never seen your name until now. That’s the most words I can muster up about something I don’t care about. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-not-re-subscribing/301184.md?page=2)
