I cannot remember - what is therm for storming out of an online forum in a huff and telling everyone that you’re doing so? ---

Thanks, Nabiki! I knew someone here would know. 🙂 ---

Anyone doing a YAGE will be back. Maybe under another nick, but the will be back. ---

I don’t believe in grand exits. I do believe in scorched earth, however. Fortunately, we couldn’t remember the password when Lee and I were drinking enough that just deleting the boards seemed like a really good idea. Gah, that’s been… 9 years ago? That was 2005. Wow. Overdue. ---

There’s a lot of people on a FB group for a popular show that I watch who have been doing that lately. As I now know the acronym, I’ve taken to posting just “YAGE” as a comment on their posts. 😄 ---

That was 2005. Wow. Yeah, that was in 2005—we watched the copy of “Wizard People, Dear Reader” that @Nick_Burns and @TSB made for us and I got really drunk and later I went and threw up chinese food everywhere. HASHTAG GOOD TIMEZ (seriously, though, that was an awesome night :D) ---

How about SOQ instead of YAGE (Sneaking Out Quietly) ✒ ---

A small problem with that, Grognar…no one would know when to apply it. 😉 ---

I remember our particular term for it (that one time the boards pretty much split down the middle), was “Blargh”. ---

The boards split? See, I must have missed something really shitty at some point, I don’t remember it ever being bad enough that someone would want to delete it all, or where we would have split on something. ---

It was pretty hairy for a little while, then. I had only recently joined, and didn’t understand much of the furor. I stepped up posting to do my bit and keep the community alive… not many of our current small group is left from then. ---
