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

I slow down my focus upon getting faster at my times
I start being colour neutral because it is fun.
I quit all cubes but 3x3.
 
I do, was just making it a little more interesting. I will do it properly from now on. I hope we don't get into this 'who can bully 5BLD the most' thing again; its kinda boring, and pointless. And it's not much fun for me...

things get a lil ruthless, to easily...
 
Yup very true :D
By the way, nice new avatar! That reminds me, better change my disgusting avatar. I prefer my old hand-drawn one. Now the problem is... Did I save it? Or did I upload then delete...
 
I return

At least for a few minutes to check my unread messages. Looks like this forum is still going strong and, more importantly, I'm still a mod. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I leave

Seriously though. To users and mods alike, great job keeping this place alive!
 
I'm back, been almost a year since my break :). Let's see... I have forgotten half my PLL and OLL algs for the 3x3, all the parity algs on the 4x4 and 5x5, and I can't find my megaminx (disassembled it and left in in a plastic bag in my basement somewhere)... sigh.
 
Oh man it's this guy! Me! That one with the nonsense name?!! Yea so eh... I'm... BACK!!.. partially.. I'm kinda back into cubing meaning I cube again but not much as well so I can't consider myself fully back. As for the forums.. I might view it everyday. MIGHT. Or I can just be all "hey I viewed and post on forum but now I suddenly stop viewing forum the next day." not sure since I'm not completely back and I'm not really dedicated in doing so.

I used to know all OLL and PLL algorithms (:O) and I used to get sub-20's if that makes me an important duder. anyway ya back. I wasn't a big or important guy on the forums (or cubing nation in general) but I'm practically a veteran. (Look at when I joined) Started cubing since 2006 so that's a plus to the veteran thing I guess.. It's too bad like any of the old users that used to go here don't anymore (at least that I'm aware of) a lot of new guys I don't know of whatsoever. Eh now I'm making this post like my cubing bio like ugh... :P

anyway, if you care to know me or want to contact me do it via PM, MSN, or Skype. Add me so I look like I have lots of friends haha. desperate much ahem
 
I kind of took an unintentional break from speedcubing for about...5 years, or so, but I've been getting back into it lately.
a lot has changed since I left...especially competition times. I competed in the 2003 WC in Toronto, and back then people were stoked if they could get a single sub-20 solve, heh.
Anyway, I use the Petrus system, my best ever average of 10 was around 18.5, since I'm out of practice my average nowadays is around 22 or 23...also, I used to be ranked second internationally for one-handed cubing, right behind Chris Hardwick.
definitely not anymore!

Michael! You're back! <3

Yeah, things have changed a lot! Cubes are waaaaaay better than they used to be, which makes it a lot easier to get better times. Some of us old folks are still around though. Jon Morris, Frank Morris, Lars Vandenbergh, Ton Dennenbroek, Ron van Bruchem, Dan Harris, Shotaro Makisumi, Bob Burton, Richard Patterson, Dan Knights, Jasmine Lee, Rune Wesström, Zbigniew Zborowski, to name several.

Are you still practicing one-handed? I haven't practiced it in a while, but I can still pull off sub-45 times most of the time (not always) ;)

Welcome back! :)
 
Thanks!
yeah, I got so excited when I saw all the different types of speedcubes you can get...Last night I put in an order for a Zhanchi, an Alpha V-f, and an F-II. Can't wait to try em out!
I also ordered a Megaminx, I've never owned one before, barely ever used one even...so that is going to be lots of fun :)
I haven't really practiced one handed in a long time...I could probably still at least average less than a minute. Right before I stopped cubing I was experimenting with blindfold solving, managed to do it a few times, so I want to get back into that as well.
I've also been thinking of learning a new system...at first I wanted to try the ZB, but it seems pretty intense, learning all those algorithms. I'm thinking about Gilles Roux's method, since it's kinda similar to Petrus.
 
Never thought I'd post here, but due to unforeseen circumstances I may be unable to cube for a couple of weeks. I hope I heal in time :(
