joe_schmoe's recent quitting and then return as JoeSchmoe lead me to think about what it would take to successfully quit* TWW.

Short of death, what is required to be the first to ever successfully quit?

* By quit I mean, make a quitting thread, call some people out and then leave, never to return.

It is easy as hell to do. I've done it before, I'll do it again.

7/15/2009 10:31:40 AM

by not calling people out

remove all "friends" from tww from facebook/myspace
don't go to tww gatherings
change your password
remove it from bookmarks
remove it from recent websites
go out into the sun

7/15/2009 10:31:51 AM

never come back, even to lurk

the mods will call you out on it

7/15/2009 10:31:55 AM

It simply isn't possible. It's like trying to get out of the mob.

You didn't successfully quit if you came back

7/15/2009 10:33:05 AM

called out

I like that one guy who never ever posts except to call people out and say he is quitting being a lurker.

7/15/2009 10:33:31 AM

so did Aficionado ever quit or did his suspension lead to an alias?

date a chick that freaks out whenever you get on the internet


that should do it

7/15/2009 10:34:37 AM

Hmmm... She'd have to be pretty hot to put up with that for very long. But it wouldn't last.

7/15/2009 10:36:55 AM

I quit when my computer broke. But then I got a new one.

So pretty much having no internet would do it.

7/15/2009 10:39:42 AM

Its Idle Hands

Not Devin Sawa

but being on a computer without work that needs to be done at this very minute

This is a place to make the 9 hour days go faster, to space the gap between filing and cold calls

If 80 percent of TWW worked construction instead of Tech jobs

This place would have been dead a long time ago

7/15/2009 10:42:17 AM

Why would you want to quit?

It seems like I was gone for over a year. Voluntarily returned. If you want I could prove it starting now I guess.

7/15/2009 10:56:52 AM

But if you leave now, will the SON rise tomorrow?

7/15/2009 10:58:38 AM

The key would be for TWW to create no more hilarious threads. If there was ever an incredible lull of nothingness I'd be out.

7/15/2009 11:01:17 AM

growing up

...

perpetual adolescence hurray!

7/15/2009 11:02:20 AM

its easy, just get a job that doesn't have the internet readily available

well it sounds easy at least

7/15/2009 11:04:24 AM

I agree with Slave Famous on this one. I do 95% of my posting from work typically. If I had a job where I wasn't at a computer all day, then quitting would be a breeze.

7/15/2009 11:05:43 AM

100% of my posts happen at work currently because I do not have the internet outside of work.

7/15/2009 11:09:01 AM

Yes, Slave is right. I didn't post for a year or two when I didn't have time at work to surf the web. Then again, you can say the same thing about not having electricity. I typically only post from work and rarely read TWW when I'm not at work.

7/15/2009 11:09:39 AM

I only really use TWW after work to follow up on threads that I started/contributed to while I was at work

Like if I officially call someone out right before I leave for the day, I want to see their retort when I get home

I spend my whole commute thinking about it

7/15/2009 11:13:49 AM

the only time I am on TWW outside of work is if my gf is out of town and I don't have any plans outside of work. not because she doesn't want me on here, because she couldn't care less. but because i like spending time with her when I get home. i.e. fucking

7/15/2009 11:18:50 AM

see I dont have a gf

so its either TWW, the bars, or whacking to internet porn

and I usually prioritize in the reverse order of that

7/15/2009 11:20:49 AM

hay everybody lets quit the wolfweb

7/15/2009 11:22:22 AM

in my case, I have a really fucked up work schedule. I either get home at 3:30 or I get home at 8:30. When I get home at 3:30, it leaves plenty of time to get outside and do shit so there is no desire to sit inside on the computer. If I get off at 8:30, that pretty much just leaves enough time to make dinner , watch my shows on TV, and go to bed.

oh yeah, and fuck

7/15/2009 11:33:02 AM

The proven method is to buy the website. The owners always end up ignoring TWW.

7/15/2009 1:04:51 PM

LOL

I guess if you are in the field, but I posted for a LONG time behind a desk doing bids and site management.

KG. His two threads have expired. Perhaps on his third thread, he will change his pattern and deliver a lengthy toast to everything he likes about his favorite users.

7/15/2009 1:49:22 PM

^lololol

7/15/2009 1:51:13 PM

I am quitting TWW right now

I have asked to be Terminated

goodbye cruel universe

7/15/2009 3:17:50 PM

This thread is like asking your drug dealer how to quit crack.

7/15/2009 3:24:48 PM

Incidentally, how do you quit crack?

7/15/2009 3:25:26 PM

shiiit, i do it all the time

7/15/2009 3:25:49 PM

Start taking heroin.
