What's the longest break you've ever taken away from Fluther?

1 Answer

Answer :

I think the longest break I’ve had from fluther was when I went to GenCon last summer. I was away for about a week and the departure was planned. I didn’t go on simply because I didn’t have a computer with me. I sort of informed people because I asked a question to see if anyone else would be there that I could meet up with alas, there was no one. In some ways I guess it was a conscious break from the internet because I could have brought my computer but I was at freaking GenCon! As much as I love fluther, a few days wandering around in gaming heaven was definitely worth the time away.
