Just received a lengthy email from HNMT where is very upset that I never responded to his request to post an explanation as to why he left. The only thing is, I never received a request to do so, but merely received a request to shut down his account. As I mentioned previously, he had some personal reasons why, and I phrased it that way figuring he didn't want his private info broadcast to everybody.
So with today's email in mind, the primary reasons HNMT asked for me to shut down his account was his dad has been recently diagnosed with cancer, and HNMT was also having trouble pulling himself away from Hardcore Husky and he said it was affecting other areas of his life. So I deleted the account per his request. Nothing more, nothing less.
For the record, I am not angry about his Twitter posts about this site, and he is definitely welcome back any time he wishes to return.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Internet addiction disorder (IAD) is now more commonly called problematic internet use (PIU)[1] or compulsive internet use (CIU).[2] Other overlapping terms include internet overuse, problematic computer use or pathological computer use – and even iDisorder.[3] These terms avoid the word addiction and are not limited to any single cause, but only reflect a general statement about excessive computer use that interferes with daily life.[4]
IAD was originally proposed as a disorder in a satirical hoax by Ivan Goldberg, M.D., in 1995,[5] though some later researchers have taken his essay seriously. He took pathological gambling as diagnosed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) as his model for the description of IAD.[6] IAD receives coverage in the press, and possible future classification as a psychological disorder continues to be debated and researched in the psychiatric community.[7] A systematic review of PIU identified a lack of standardization of the conceptualization of PIU as a major impediment to advancing this area of study.[8]
Other habits such as reading, playing computer games, or watching very large numbers of internet videos or movies are all troubling only to the extent that these activities interfere with normal life. IAD is often divided into subtypes by activity, such as excessive, overwhelming, or inappropriate internet pornography use, gaming, online social networking, blogging, email,[9] or internet shopping.[10] Opponents note that compulsive behaviors may not themselves be addictive.[11]
Internet addiction is a subset of a broader "technology addiction". Obsession with technology started with radio in the 1930s and with television in the 1960s, but has recently exploded in importance during the current digital age.[3]
More_tim is the poster child for getting addicted to the internet , taking it seriously and subsequently getting butthurt. Now he feels like he needs to heap his problems on top of everybody
We've all got it rough to one degree or another, More_Cockus. If this board is doing anything other than providing a diversion from real life then you are right to quit. If contributing to or making your problems worse then you need help.
