... EDIT
The Drivel, as it stands right now, will be taken down next friday.
-
It's for *sale*? :-\
That's a bit sad.

Well, it's sad, nevertheless.
-
You mean the forum? Why? I thought it was dead anyway?
-
Oh, I don't know. I just think Dunc created a nice hangout. He's been involved in many sites for spazzes and so I think there should be at least one left with him calling the shots.
-
When I was there it was days or weeks between posts with about 4 active (more than once a month) members.
-
I like(d) in there.
But, things pass. It is as it is.

Is it becoming something new?

No Duncs is taking it down due to inactivity. Forums through no fault of their own are struggling against severe downturn in forum usage due to such things as game applications, instagram, facebook, twitter and the like taking over people' free time.
Hang on, I think we have had this conversation in relation to something else on another thread somewhere
-
:lol1:
I do think that the drivel never caught on at least partly because of this place. It wasn't meant to be like I2 and it is as old as I2, but when Dunc left, I think a lot of people got the idea that it's what he got instead.
-
I'm sorry it is being taken down, even though I was seldom there. :(
-
Well, things happen. I can understand why.
-
It's actually older than I2, it's the place where everyone regrouped after the wreck of I-not-squared.
-
It's sad, I posted a bunch there awhile but I don't post anywhere as much as I used to

God, it's been so long since all that happened. I feel old. :zombiefuck:

I rather thought it would be. Thanks.

Yeah no kidding. It's kind of frightening.

Good god, 'raxis, we're getting old.
Bigger question: Are we grown up yet?
-
I am. :(
It's actually been bugging me a lot. The whole family thing. The career thing too. Yay angst.
What about you?
-
Well not entirely. I'm Wendy. I live with Peter Pan. I'm never gonna lose the wanderlust and the taste for adventure. Just got to kick off the latest round of bills and bullshit.

It's still a little trippy, but yeah, I think we can say I'm a grown-up at this point. Not all my friends my age or even a little older are. Hell, not even most. Career is.... actually OK, right now, I think. If I haven't started actually making enough to actively save (over and above my 403b, which I'm loading up as much as I'm allowed), I'm close, anyway (I'll evaluate that when I do my taxes). I like my job- so much it's almost scary, really. I've no desire to breed, so I feel little biological pressure to hurry up on anything I don't have in place now. I do wish I had a partner, but I feel like the ability to function without one is grown-up in and of itself.
I think I'm also coming to acceptance that there's not much in the way of "real adults" out there. There's some people who have knowledge that I don't posses and can access, but everyone isn't smarter and more experienced than me, even if I feel more insecure than they seem to be (and often that's either bravado or stupidity, not well-founded confidence). Still freaks me out a bit, but I'm not always mourning it.
Long post- was thinking about this earlier today.

I wish I liked my job that much. It would make things a lot better.
I'm still kind of baffled by the concept that some people feel like they can't manage without a partner.
Never had trouble saving money.

TY. I shall have to try and remember the name of that particular effect.

Never had trouble saving money.
My starting salary was what made saving money difficult- it was frighteningly low. As far as money management itself goes I'm starting to suspect I'm actually not half-bad; not a financial guru, but good enough that I don't think I've shot myself in the foot yet, anyway. The problem originally was one of trying to guess what the best of several bad options was likely to be, setting a deadline to when I would re-evaluate, and meantime making sure I could still survive. I *may* have actually guessed correctly; at any rate now is when I would be re-evaluating if I hadn't already made some progress in earnings.

:agreed:
I have not been online much at all, anywhere, in over a year.
At least I know why I can not find it, now.
:'(
-
I noticed the site was down and the domain up for sale.
-
How do we contact PI or Dunc?
-
Wrong planet? He posts there
-
Wrong planet? He posts there
Recently?
I haven't seen Dunc post there in ages.
-
I'd be shocked that he'd post there.
-
I very much doubt he would. :-\
-
He should come back.
-
I don't think he would. He is not the type to delete an account on a whim.
-
Maybe he should get over it.

/shrugs
Sometimes things change. Sometimes you change.
-
Don't change.
-
"You" in a general sense.
-
"Don't" as in not really an order.
-
:laugh:
You'd better be careful or I'll plus you, one of these days.
-
Better not. :zoinks:
-
As in not really an order? :P
-
Not really. :P
-
Now I'm confused. :P

Now I'm confused. :P
That was intentional. :P
