LOL, retire.
Never heard it put that way before.
I've retired
from many sites, many forums and many social networking sites like facebook and myspace.
Technically, being permanently disabled I am also retired from my career.
While I do miss working on/fixing trucks I don't miss the stress of the job nor the politics of coworker insanity.
Over my life, I've experienced spotty internet. Sometimes unexpected.
I've lost much online compositions, stories and artwork that existed on servers. I've lost photos and movie/music collections on the clouds.
I've learned not to get too attached to anything online.
Mingle2 is no different.
Sometimes mingle2 is so unreliable it becomes unuseable. I just find something else to do. Give it a day or two and they work out whatever is happening. Its entertainment, nothing more.
