well since I havn't bought a cel in months and 
have been checking the board almost once a month 
if im lucky, I can speak from personal 
experience. Although I still havn't given up the 
cels I have and probably never will, part of this 
hobby has died for me..its not that I don't have 
the money to keep buying, its just other things 
have taken my interest. And it isn't another 
hobby. I've recently transfered schools from a JC 
to a UC, and things are very different here now. 
I started clubbing a lot, drinking, dating..etc. 
The first couple of weeks that I missed updates 
online I didn't really care, I thought I didn't 
miss much. After months, I realized i missed some 
really good cels but I still didn't care..I'm 
really enjoying this new college life and i would 
much rather go out and have fun than sit home 
friday nights clicking refresh a million times. 
Although ..of course I still check now and then 
on the things i missed just because this hobby is 
so hard to quit cold turkey. I'm pretty proud of 
how well i dealt with it though..i didn't even go 
to anime expo this year and im not feeling so bad 
about it. = P
