Guest Taylor Hewitt Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 What would you do if OtakuBoards disappeared or shut down or something? Would life be worth living? The friendly moderators, the friendly staff, the friendly people. It's so friendly. Would you just never use the computer again? Would you play sports? Would you just find another forum? I know these thoughts of no OB makes you want to vomit but I think this is a good topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Will then I'd find another board. Heheheh Thats a easy one. I just hope I never have to do that, I like it here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [size=1] LOL, of course it would be worth living, OB is a great place, but it's not my life support....O_o I'd be pretty disappointed if this place was gone, I spend a lot of my time here. But of course, I'd just go one with my humdrum life.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezzyjean Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [size=0] [color=silver]Well, i'd definitely hafto say that i wouldnt use the computer half as often as I do! I'd only use it to go on coke music, and im, and that's it, my parents would be happy...but I would be veeeeeery veeeeery upset, just the thought of it being gone makes me sad :bawl:[/size] [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semjaza Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I'd just find something more constructive to do with my time. I already have a wrist cutter shrine in my room, so I don't need OB for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kei Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [color=darkblue]And I thought it'd be devoted to DuckTales, Sem. Silly me. I'd probably focus more on my art and writing if OB so happened to suddenly catch a modern-day Black Plague, so to speak. God knows I need to be working on my portfolio now more than ever anyway, lol. But I would be really sad. We've all put so much into this place, James especially. He'd probably go into seizures, lol.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by wrist cutter [/i] [B]Yeah, what would any of you do without me? [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]We should make a new thread called "What would you do without wrist cutter?" That would be a lot more interesting to me, at least. Without OB I would do a lot more reading, writing and drawing. Because of working so much I haven't really done any of those things in a while, and it would be nice to do something creative again. Chances are that we would just sit around on AIM and complain about how much we miss the boards.

Change Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I would go get myself and egg roll, and go back to spamming my Gaming Fourms, yup 1205 post after 2 years of hard work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evisoun Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I would be so very deperessed and my teenage angst will double. I wouldn't know what to do with myself and would be so lost! Eventually I'll to go wrist-cutter for help and drown in my own blood out of grief. I wouldn't even -think- about going to another message board.

Guest Taylor Hewitt Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Well I would concentrate more on my own forum (which you can find in my profile ;)). I need more members and I've been here alot and I could concentrate on advertising and such. Recruiting if I may. But I love this place too much.

amibasuki Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [FONT=arial]lol, I'd do a lot less procrastinating. usually whenever I have some unpleasant task I need to complete/start on 0_o', I say to myself, "Okay, I'll do it after I'm done on Otakuboards." actually, my life would be better without it. I could have good grades at school. and get more sleep. what a nuisance. :p [/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonballzman Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Well, about the only reason I'm still here is because of Sprite Central and the Nintendo forum, and I already know other good sites for stuff like that, so I wouldn't care that much. To be honest, most of the people here annoy me. I don't think I'd miss anyone. The only people I would miss talk to me on a regular basis on AIM.

KittyLynn Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [SIZE=1][COLOR=dodgerblue]I dunno what I would do. Most likely I'd be sad, but its not so much the boards, but the friendships. I have all my "friends" AIM's and such. I'm all good. ^__^ But it'll be a sad day, whenever it comes around. I'd probably read more, draw more, more animal charity stuff..Like I used to. ^_^;; I'll be very sad. And I'll miss you all when the day comes. -Kitten How will you people live without the Kitten?

PiroMunkie Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [size=1]If OtakuBoards where to cease to be, I would probably be forced to get a life outside the internet, lol. I do not do much else right now then just chill online. I have no real close friends here in Omaha right now... >.>; Sad, but true. All my closest friends are online. It is kind of ironic how the ones I am closest to are oh so far away. Yeah, I would have a lot less to occupy my time which could probably force me to break down and my dad would probably actually put me in therapy for depression (not because OB is no more, but just because I am able to keep my mind of depressing topics by going here). OtakuBoards allows me to get away from dwelling on my own thoughts. After a while, I just get tired of looking at myself.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotenksSSJ343 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I would go help more at my friends forum I guess. Or just find another message board. Oh and go read the new harry potter book I finally got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otakukev Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I dunno. I just wouldn't be on the internet as much. Maybe doing something more constructive, like earning money or something like that. Or i might just watch TV or something o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtakuSennen Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Well.. Hm... What would I do? I'd probably go into a state of hypo-depression for a week... Then try and contact as many people as I could that were on OB and convince them to help me in my quest for a forum of equal value to OB (Will it happen? Nope). Then I'd be on the computer half of the time that I am now, and I'd spend my time probably reading books more and drawing more.. Oh, and I'd probably do more chores, resulting in some more allowance, resulting in more anime and manga! *sigh* That would be bittersweet.. New manga and anime.. At the cost of OtakuBoards... *sniff* What would I do without wristcutter, you ask? o_O I-- Don't know. I just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]You too, huh? I don't know; I suppose I'd draw and write more often. Ergh. I come here to be doing something, and get my mind off other things. It's nice to have a reason to act cheerful. Mm. I'd probably flood Shy's mailbox with more letters, and he would try to get some sort of...mail...restraining order...on me or something. *shrugs* I'd need to find something else to keep my mind occupied, I guess. And another place to show off all my clever signature ideas. Yeah. That would be a definite downside.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [color=crimson][size=1] Well, seeing as I've been away from the boards for ten monthes, and have not jumped off of a cliff yet, I think I would just carry on as usual.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 [color=ff00cc] [size=1]mm... If OB shut down, (which hopefully won't happen for a while xx), I'd probably just go back to reading/printing scripts, and reading them out loud, reading books, watching more movies, listening to more music, and mostly, study more. ^^;; Lately, my time spent on OB has been shortened a litty bitty bit, since I really want to get that 4.0 next year. And I know the honors teachers next year are about twice as strict as the ones this year, and give about twice as much homework. So, I'd probably spend the time I'm usually online, to studying at home. ^_^' [/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeEmO Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I could easily just find another forum, so I'm not that worried. I haven't even been here for a year yet, so i'm not very attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I don't live off Otakuboards. Surfing the 'net is just one of my pastimes. If Otakuboards actually shutdown, or went off-line, it wouldn't really worry me to be honest. I have many other things I can do in place of posting on OB. I would miss all the people on here, but what can you do if the boards shutdown? Not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 [size=1]I'd be very bored for a while. But I can still IM people from OB, so it's not like we'd lose contact or anything. Like Amibasuki, I'd procrastinate less. Get more of my schoolwork done, heh. I'd probably just end up spending more time on AIM, though.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
