Message DuffMan beers 10981 º places 349 º 14:54 Fri 7/4/2014 Originally posted by HonusWagner I don’t plan on quitting any time soon, though I’m one of the youngest people here I think so that shouldn’t be a huge surprise. How old are you bro? I joined when I was a fetus, at 6.5 months gestation. I’ve been a member for 9 years, so I’m roughly eight and a half years old. I plan on retiring once all of the issues in OTM have been peacefully and unanimously resolved.

Message drowland P beers 11069 º places 430 º 15:59 Fri 7/4/2014 Dunno. It might fall out of fashion again. Moving to Valdosta, GA has definitely slowed me down. North FL was a stream of nonstop rates. More than I could keep up with. Valdosta... not so much.

Message Ungstrup P beers 51302 º places 372 º 16:23 Fri 7/4/2014 I retired when I hit 20,000 ratings, so I’m years into retirement (wish I lived in SD) Now I’m just chillin’ and getting a few more under the belt. No stress - no more goals

No stress - no more goals Jens my young lad here, is what we all wish to be. Top 5 and are like, whatever. When you’ve had 20000 reviewed beers, you kinda know about beer. Now its our turn to teach you lot.
Message Naven beers 1000 º places 109 º 22:43 Fri 7/4/2014 Retired, heading toward death. Rarely search out beers any more, haven’t had a whale in at least 2 years. I don’t know what any of the abbreviations are in the trade section. This is how I know I’m fading away......

Message HenrikSoegaard P beers 20703 º places 691 º 00:31 Sat 7/5/2014 I go more for placeratings now and if I reach 100 of each style, country, region.... then I might retire completely.

Message DerWeg beers 2175 º places 48 º 08:26 Sat 7/5/2014 Originally posted by ContemplateBeer I’m speaking primarily about beer rating, but also from contributing on other aspects of the site (place ratings, adding beers, updates, etc.) June 3rd, 2027. I’ll have tired of it all by about 3:45 in the afternoon.
