So anyway, I think I need to disengage from the place for awhile.

I'm sure some of you of you will happy to hear this, others less so, but regardless it was fun for awhile.

Ta for now.
 
Sorry to hear that. It happens to the best of us. Enjoy the break and come back refreshed for the stretch run.
 
WTF? Crumble under pressure? Fuckin worthless mod!














jk. Its probably good to get away sometimes.
 
Nows my chance to become a mod! Woo!
 
WHAT?? You only have 16,554 posts. Oh sure, drop by, make a few posts and then just friggin' leave. Fine.
 
You never got tired before you were a moderator. You used to be the most knowledgeable person here, until then. As a mod, your posting skills slowly vanished.

When you come back, why don't you retire the mod gig so your energy, and being the best poster, return.
 
Cmon man! Nik don't leave man. There are only a few on here i like!
 
Come back soon, Nik. You are a very level-headed poster. I like to hear your opinions.
 
Making your way on the web today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all these posters
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those night when you've got tons of fights,
The editing is a "fail";
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail;
And beer-boys third fiance didn't show;

Sometimes you want to go
Where nobody knows your name,
And they're Sometimes glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your screen name.

Roll out of bed, HCP's wife gives you head;
The morning's looking bright;
And your favorite player ran off to Europe,
And yes he's even white;
And your admin wants to be a girl;

Be glad there's one place in the world
Where nobody knows your name,
And they're never glad you came;
You want to go where people know,
Posters are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your lame.

Rep'd!

Hope to see you back soon, nik. I know we've disagreed on some basketball things, but I've always valued your contributions.

But if it's not fun or, worse, making basketball less fun for you, then you should definitely take a break.
 
Farewell, at least until you're back in a few weeks.

My sentiments exactly. Your perspective is (and I use that in present tense because I hope you are not gone for good) refreshing. I like the way you see the game. Even if I don't always agree with your logic, your arguments are well stated and I've always considered you as one of the posters who "gets it".
A lot of times you bring fresh ideas/theories to the board, not some recycled rant you heard on 95.5. I also like your knowledge of the Salary Cap, CBA, Free Agency, trade eligibility, etc. Looking forward to your return.
 
Damn did my smell run you off? Second day I come back and you leave! :(
 
change your avatar Nik, your not as hard as you look! :wink:

see you on the flip side
 
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW. I MUST BE ABREAST FOR WHUR MY INTERNET FRIENDS ARE AND WHEN THEY ARE MISSING.
 
On the ESPN board I would rarely link to this board. Newer posters would discover it. A month later, a couple would disappear. If I recall correctly, that's how Nik disappeared from ESPN to S2. Nik was on ESPN only a short time before going, and he started about the same time as someone else (Jayremmie? or the other guy whose name starts with J. Both left and post here.) and I posted there that both were knowledgeable and good new posters. Nik stayed only a few months, maybe it was just a couple of months.

So it's the second time for me seeing him go, but this time he said goodbye and it seems he will return. I guess the reason I like his posts is because we generally agree, but he puts my vague thoughts into good analysis because he knows basketball better than I do. I like the way he stays skeptical about all players and resists the flow of conformity. Others will go 100% on someone, like, "Bayless is a future all-star! He got high stats tonight!" and Nik will stay on the fence with some little piece of cold analysis (while I counter the tide of emotion and say that Bayless sucks and is 1-dimensional).
 
I thought this was suppose to be a Nikolokolus roast!?
 
Nik's one of the most level headed and best posters on this board. He has proven himself to be very knowledgeable and I highly respect his opinion. The fact that he feels that this forum has turned into something that he needs to take a break from says a lot about the atmosphere in here.

Agreed. That's all changed since he became a mod, though. I can sense the bitterness in the words that he writes. It's analogous to a curse, or so it seems. A lifesucking force, if you will.

I mean, it's a message board. Unless you're getting threats via PMs from nutjobs, just sit back, relax, and realize that for the most part, people are just having fun here.

This board ceased being "fun" long ago but remains a necessary evil for me. It's the place with the biggest gathering of Blazer "fans" (that I know of) so I come here to get news and other info about the team I love. But wading through all the daily bullshit to get that info is increasingly bothersome. But whatever - I just spend more time on other forums for my other hobbies - much less drama and irritation at those places.
