Goodbye (For Now)

I am Leaving

Today I am leaving JetPunk. Not permanently (I believe), nor completely, but I will most likely not be active. I might still read comments on my content and take quizzes, but I will probably not post anything.

But Why?

JetPunk was fun for me for a while. Until it was not. I ran out of ideas for quizzes, got bored of either knowing everything on a quiz or having no clue what the answers were, and simply did not enjoy spending time on the site. Outside of JetPunk, I am trying to make friends, and I think I should try to make friends I know in real life instead of people on the Internet whose names I do not even know. Geography knowledge has sort of ruined my social life and I am struggling with depression, so I do not want to visit this site very often.

Will I Return?

I believe I will return someday, but I do not know when that day will be, nor if it will ever come. I want to keep my account so others can take my quizzes. I may read comments on my quizzes, and might even take some as well. But I want to minimize JetPunk's influence in my life. Don't get me wrong, it is a great site. But knowing all of these facts, countries, and pieces of information has made me very unpopular at school, particularly in Social Studies.

Goodbye

Goodbye. I am leaving JetPunk. Thank you to everyone who took my quizzes and allowed me to stay on the site for so long. I look forward to returning in the future. Thanks so much. See you someday. Someday in the future...or someday soon.

You have to do what you think is best for yourself. JetPunk is just another website, an excellent one, but it's just a website. It will still be here (hopefully) for many years to come.

Your well-being is the most important thing, I don't think any of us will disagree with that!

The internet in general can become an addiction in the same way as alcohol or tobacco, there is no shame in taking time out and relaxing.

When I first joined JetPunk I used to worry about takes, and what people thought of me, but now it doesn't bother me in the slightest if I don't make a quiz or if one I made doesn't get takes.

At 61, I just make blogs and quizzes to keep my brain active. It appears to be working.....hopefully!

I won't say goodbye, just au revoir for now. Good Luck in whatever you decide to do!

Ohhh well I hope you have a great life outside of JetPunk! It's sad to see you go, especially since you are helping to hold up the RUB, but as toowise said, you do have to do what you think is best for you.

All the best in your future endeavors!

and you do have a point, JetPunk has altered my life trajectory significantly, mostly by turning me into a geography and history nerd.

You don't mind if I copy-paste that blog you collab-ed with me into my own blog, or do you want to publish it yourself?

You are welcome to use anything I collaborated with you and edit it, and when I come back to JetPunk I can help you with this. I still do not know when that will be, I am just replying to comments on this blog for the time being.

None of my friends even know about this website... and I never told them about it. I just keep my geography knowledge to myself. Nobody knows about that either... Also I just want to get to level 40. I'm not even in high school. I'm only in 7th Grade.

Good luck, Astana; it's very healthy and mature to recognize which parts of your life are bringing you closer to the person you want to be, and which are keeping you from your goals.

I sincerely hope you start feeling better and start receiving the more positive interactions you deserve online, out in the world, and internally from yourself.

Good luck to you, it's a pity that it turns out this way. But you're right: you shouldn't break away from the real world, wasting your life on nothing for you. I hope that everything will work out for you there in the real world, and you will find real friends. If JetPunk, or indeed anything, no longer brings joy, but only hinders, like procrastination, then feel free to get rid of it.
