Subject: How long was your biggest hiatus?

Three months in the summer of 2007.
Since then? Other than my two trips overseas (where I had no internet available), I think I have been on at least once every day for around 5 years.

Life?
I have the internet and Doctor Who; i don't need a life.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

I don't think I've ever really dropped Bnet completely for more than a week since I've been here. I have however gone though a few periods where I would only lurk the mains and stick to private group posting for a couple months at a time.

I think that my longest hiatus would be back in 2008 during my first year of university. It was during final exams and I think I stayed away from BNet for about a month. Since them I have been pretty consistent and have signed in at least once a day.

After the escapade of Christmas threads in 2007 I was inactive for all of 2008. Went active in late Decemeber of 2008 and here I am today.

I have no idea. I know I've tried it on various occasions. The longest was probably about 3-4 months.

I even edited my "hosts" file once to redirect "bungie.net" to nowhere, with the intention being "Oh I'll be way too lazy to edit it"....somehow I was really bored enough one day to fix it.

Real life? What is that?
Graphics are good, gameplay sucks. Overhyped IMO.

Three months? Maybe more.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Nowadays, what ever my ban duration is.

But back in the day in 2008, I was offline for more than half a year.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

I remember when I didn't sign in for a week.

Probably around 6 or so months in 2008. Didn't have access to an Xbox or had much access to a compter at that time.
