Are You A Life Timer Here? ( Archived) (43)

No, I don't think I'll be here forever and I know I won't cry if the site shuts down. I'm quite happy with my life and I've a life outside CS. I'm mostly here for the puzzles. The OP should try the puzzles too! It's a good brain exercise, especially needed when you get older! I left once, but the puzzles pulled me back like a rubber band!

A life timer?
I don't mind, as long as I find the puzzles entertaining.

Cs forums is a hobby of mine,,.im using my creative side of my brain,,...my typing and knowledge of humankind has improved,,,my history and geography ,,I really would recommend it to fellow human beings ,,it tests your strength of character,,brings your mind from realism to surrealism that's if your not of the scientific mindset,...it's a school of learning in oneself ,, Believe or not to believe or do you care to believe,, ..I can't put a time date on me for when I leave,,..I am open minded I choose as I go along...oh as for boredom I don't I fill in my time to good use... . .

Haha that was meant to read if I'm bored I fill in my time to good use...NO I don't use cs forums out of boredom I go on it because I like it.


If it closed down I would miss it. But odd thing is I don't bother with facebook,,if it closed down it close down simple as that we all live without it.....

Yes, I probably am.

I enjoy the craic, the good debates, different points of views, the laughs.

That doesn't mean to say I don't have a life outside of CS. I most certainly do. An active one.

But the 2 can be successfully combined, and sometimes even overlap

I'm here off and on, when I have time. I have too much going on outside the site to even entertain talking with people on a regular basis, but I enjoy myself when I'm here. It's good to have some interaction even if it's just virtual.

When I first started here on CS... I was a little apprehensive, but game as Ned Kelly... I jumped straight into the forums.. and found it all to be a huge amount of fun..

Then, as world events came and went, I realised that I was forcing myself to read up on what I normally would never have bothered with.. so it became a learning experience.

When all the African top countries had their civil wars, that was amazing, as we had a member who reported activities.. from his side of the pond..of which ship came into port etc... and it suddenly occurred to me, that I was getting world news before our own news reported it..

The other lovely thing that has happened, I have extended my usually generous acknowledgement of cognitive learning, and responses to a higher level of acknowledgement... stuff like this doesn't happen in real life.. we don't get to know the thoughts and opinions of people around the world very often.

and the last lovely thing, that I think we can all lay claim to, is that by our diversity and cultural experiences, we care enough to appreciate members for their good and bad, and acknowledge, that everyone has these days all around the world, but in some countries, it might just be a tad more difficult to get through that day in good humour...

which leads to friendships being formed... and that is all good.



Oh, I forgot... I work full time, so clearly I cannot live on here, but should CS die, well, so be it.. but it would be difficult to find another free site which has all these features, and opportunities to exchange ideas and banter and knowledge..
