I'm failing to understand something; if you enjoy doing something (and as long as it's not toxic to your lifestyle) then why do you need to 'move on' from it? Like if you're busy or whatever and not focusing on school work etc. because of a forum then just don't log in. You don't need to 'ban' yourself, you just need to learn how to control yourself.
Well i don't know, i guess it's different to everyone, i don't really think he had to "ban himself" to leave the forum. I do not really know how to explain it, some people delete their tibia characters when they quit, maybe that's his way of "deleting" his forum account.
