? where are you going to?

Have a good trip and come back safe. 

  Come back soon.

Godspeed, Aussie friend. Pop in again soon!

 

Please, come back! I feel so lonely down under here.

Crivvens you must be hard stuck!

Indeed, the south hemisphere is lacking representatives, you should had never turned independent, now you're alone, isolated, sad and regretting it.

alone

Yes.

isolated

No.

sad

No.

regretting it

No.
Last time I checked, independence doesn't shift hemispheres.
But I congratulate you. You are much better without us now.

You have to remember Belfrager that because they walk upside down the blood rushes to the head. Doesn't help much.

You are much better without us now.

Don't post that Barulheira, I like my Country to be the best hidden secret in Europe. Let's keep it that way.

Besides, rjhowie says that you walk upside down so blood rushes to your head. I suggest you to walk upside down, since you are already doing it, my suggestion will put you finally walking upside up and being able to agree with me.

As long as there aren't refugees crossing the Atlantic...

The only refugees I know that crossed the Atlantic were those that we call today Americans... and they weren't exactly refugees just mere economic emigrants with enough money to pay for a third class ticket in regular trans Atlantic cruisers.

Were I an American like social Darwinist and I would call them just losers. Glad I'm not.

Anyway, this tread is for us to mourn our only antipode that decided to abandon us.

Well that would be as bad Belfrager as people walking up rough mountains in bare feet for some "saint" or other! 

tt- a stalwart with a nice sense of humour. I do hope he's in good health. Best regards.

You are fully entitled to your opinion of course!

I'm leaving, too.

I've considered leaving more than once in recent months. Haven't done it yet (obviously) but sometimes it's been a close call.

One note: If/when I do make that decision, it's forever.

 I suggest moving this thread to the Members only part "Forum Administratio". It is worth discussing, but located here it is a sort of negative advert for DnD.

With that assumption;

Never say never (as they say), but there is a problem as we reach critical mass.

Threads become a bit threadbare and there are not enough to disagree on one but make up and agree on another, or indeed to spark the interest of much more than a few at a time.

I've not thought of leaving myself but do struggle to find a vigorous discussion to join in which is not, shall be say, too caustic.

What to do about it?

I don't understand. Is that what happened to tt?

I fully understand taking a break. Sometimes life takes over and my mind just isn't into it or my mood changes and 'debate' just isn't for me. But, I don't understand the emotion behind deciding to never come back. I'd miss you guys... Eventually

Thread moved as requested.

Thanks

suggest also flagging the move in dnd  central so others e.g. 'Bye relocated

I suspect he keeps an eye on things, but let's hope it is a trial separation while Australia is still in the Rugby World Cup.

I used the term "critical mass" earlier and it's sort of appropriate, one needs enough people interested in a particular subject in order to keep it alive.

For example a hot topic in the UK at the moment is the new leader of the Labour Party. I can't imagine more than 3 or our number in discussing such a topic. It's  the same with discussing Trump in the US context 3 or 4 Americans would be interested but not that many others. If I post about football/ soccer; again not so many. The old subjects of religion, terrorists, guns and even good have been cover ed d so much that we could probably write each other's posts!

Clearly we need more posters and fresher subjects of international interest. The old problem we started with.

Alas, the Otter posters are cross-posting less than I'd hoped.
