The "I quit / pause / return / change / etc." thread

I'm going to switch to Roux. I've tried a few times, and have gotten my averages down to 20-25. However, I continued my CFOP journey and didn't solve with Roux much. I average 15-17 with CFOP but it's gotten a bit repetitive. I think Roux will be great for a main method. Also, does anyone know any practice tips for getting a lower move count on 2nd block? Mine's really bad. Thanks
 
Comeback to this site

Hi all,
I was a member of this website a year ago and cubing was my main hobby. But time lead me to abandon cubing and this awesome website too. Just a min ago, as i was browsing, i came across google's doodle and so decided to resume cubing again. So, just wanted to say this.
Thnx
Crazycubes
 
I'm quitting cubing for a month now. Although it's ironic that this pause is right before Nats, I just don't have enough time to keep up cubing, swimming, and cello all at the same time. This break starts tomorrow.
 
I quit this forum. Jerks in charge and jerks sprinkled throughout. It's a shame that a handful of bad apples can spoil an otherwise awesome pie.

Hit me up on Facebook if you have something important to say.
 
I quit /I always wanted to quit loosing big amounts of time, but it seems very difficult to me to do that, I have many hobbies apart of speedcubing like playing Basketball, Tennis, Table tennis, play the acoustic guitar, play electrical keyboard,to walk big distances (7km or more), to collect cubes ( i actually have 36 3x3x3, I gave some to the childrens victims of the fire in Valparaiso, this year), my hobbies sometimes for me represent a waste of time, cause i never have time enought for to develop in a proper way one of my hobbies(college uses a lot of time!), i could actually quit for a long time several for to privilege a few(like speedcubing, my favorite)
I pause / eating bad food, like burgers and french fries, my levels of cholesterol and triglycerides are high, so i must preserve my health....
I return / i used to practice physical conditioning, when I trained hard I weighted 70 Kg, now that I'm not training i weight around 80 Kg ( I'm 1.80 m/5'11'' so i'm at my max healthy weight)
I change / i want to change my style at speedcubing, like using more triggers and fingertrick, and if it is possible, to use better algs.
 
I return to practicing (mostly OH). Missing us nats made me realize how much I want to come back and go to another comp. I will be showing up late at RH and competing in OH and 5x5
 
I've decided to give up 3x3x3 practise for a while. At least for the next two weeks. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll take 0.2-0.3 off of my average at next comp. But the progress for time invested just isn't enough anymore.

I'll be putting all my effort into OH, 4X4 and square-1, perhaps with some megaminx too.
 
I have decided to completely stop practicing all cubing events except MBLD which I am starting to casually practice. It will not be a main focus for me. I have not been practicing anything for a while and have been thinking that a long break will be good. I also have some Secret and ambitious memory projects that I want to work on and the focus will be on those.

Good luck! I'm excited!
 
After a ~4 year hiatus, I have recently bought my favorite type of cube (a 5x5) and am doing better than ever. Within a month of returning, my (best) 5x5 average (of 5) has dropped from 1:50.93 to 1:43.03.

Woo.

I don't think anybody sets their eyes on getting in the WCA top 100, but I feel confident that if I were to compete within the next few months, I would be a member of the United States's top 100.
 
Hey guys,
I've stopped cubing ...It started to bore me
I know I know , Some of you will be like "Cubing never bores me"

I posted this in this thread because it is frequently visited
Good bye guys
Wish you luck for what you're trying to achieve
Good bye
 
I'll change

No more bickering. I've been for a long time wanting to stop it and I like to think that I partly reduced it, but now I'm really serious. Waste of time, especially when I try to correct stuff, which can be very time-consuming. I'm idealistic, but I can't stop it anyway, and I'd better spend my time in purely constructive ways. And yeah, sometimes I'm wrong and then it's embarrassing. And maybe I'll make more friends if I don't affront everyone. And maybe I can become a good example for others. Cause I'm by far not the only one bickering way too much here.

Well that didn't quite work out. I'll try again.
