I feel that the Spiderweb Forums can no longer give me the fulfillment I seek from life. I will never return.

Joking.

But I will be gone* for several weeks. My job and studies have a heap of work that will literally be finished in the last minute. If I want to have any chance at getting my Bachelor next year, I have to get off my posterior right now.

(*)Where gone, as people who know me can confirm, means less than 1 post a day. I'll be making an extra effort over christmas and new year's not to spend time here, but I probably won't be able to resist popping in a few times. I'll also read email and be on instant messenger. So I won't be gone, just... less prolific.

See you later! :) *hugs everyone*

If you don't get back before, then have a happy holidays, and have a happy New Year.

You scared the hell out of me. If you didn't add the "joking" part...

Good luck, hope you got your bachelor and that you come back soon.

Hope you become prolific (in posting) again soon! And good luck with your degree!

What is this? Dikiyoba didn't understand Arancaytar's plan to become the oldest oldbie before, and Dikiyoba understands it even less now.

It's very simple Dikiyoba. Aran says he is going to "work", when he is actually going to hunt down and assassinate all of the older members. This includes turning Alobot off, and poking Thuyrl with a stick until he stops being English.

I have a reliable source that indicates that Aran will never return. Indeed, he has decided to take this break after finishing a natural language parser. During the holidays, he will be passing through it not only every post he made that has been recorded on the PPP, but also his NaNoWriMo novels and the entire works of Lovecraft, Adams, and Pratchett.

Due to be released early 2007, Arancaytar 2.0 will be virtually indistinguishable from the original.

I'm glad I watch Polaris, or this would've freaked me out.

Good luck Aran!

Goodbye topics aren't the same without Alec and TM. Actually, this thread demands mockery. You've admitted you're not really leaving!

—Alorael, who will miss Aran anyway. It's hard to be the bot that leaves the nest and gets no supervision or revision for a few weeks.

Drop in on the 17th to see how your bot screws up this time, Just kidding. I'm sure the bugs are all out and the GIFTSs and GIFTRs were mad about being evicted.

Good luck on your degree. Everyone should get one just to see how their university can mess up the text. I got a plaque from my college on receiving my M.S in Physics from the college of Business and Public Administration.

It was a physics degree, but my first year as a physics grad student I got a job offer to be a teaching assistant in the economics department. But they paid less than physics and I hadn't had an economics course since high school so the decision was based on economics and I stayed in physics. Maybe it had something to do with the physics professor who started out his classes with reminders about the many fine things you could get with an MBA as a way to cut class size.

No, no, you've got it wrong. He said he's going to get his Bachelor. Which means he's on his way to visit Nikki this very moment. :P

Whether he'll be there to assassinate him or give him another hug, I cannot tell.
