Goodbye

I live in the real world, where people may not have two parent households, disposable income, Ph.d, every color way of every shoe, can afford to go to the movies every weekend, afford iPhones and iPads, Galaxies and Macbooks, date dimes, live in expensive neighborhoods, drive expensive cars ...the list goes on but what I am trying to say is that some of us lead busy lives, and commit a lot of time OFFLINE to maintain the basics in life....some of us DEPEND on Niketalk to deliver news, entertainment and be a resource for sneaker collectors and enthusiasts. Some people aren't that selfish where they see Niketalk as "just the internet", some people have a connection, it's become part of their lives and they've invested time and energy into.

Sure we can all be nonchalant and act like it's not a big deal, but I'm sure you've seen what happens to websites where everyone pretends to be "cool" or "in demand"....look at Myspace, Black Planet, AOL, even Facebook and Twitter....they're declining because of the QUALITY of users who are able to treat their accounts with carelessness. 

Let's not even talk about how fast forums come and go....Niketalk has been around for almost 14 years. 

 
Just because the person is using a new user name that maybe not be favorable, doesn't mean they could'nt have been someone some of you maybe unconditionally d-rode in the past. And for that reason most posters are judged by their time invested in their username and post count... you may not personally, but someone else may value their opinion or even trolling, and maybe you guys that think your opinion means anything actually means nothing. Maybe you're not even factored into a "goodbye" thread.


I always find it ironic that the users that come off trying to be cool and say slick one liners are actually loser and accomplished nothing in life...and the users that invest the most turn out to be SOMEONE OFFLINE and often more well off and cooler than their e-persona... from Bobby, to Ben Baller, from Wale, to a few NBA players, Kid Cudi. from a publicist and millionaires and important figures you've never heard of....these are the people you might be "dissing" thinking you're cool.



You guys are the ones that have some explaining to do ...you be so "cool", yet none of your post suggest that you actually are OFFLINE.
