Vote now if you think you could handle a week without ChiefDelphi this summer!

I could handle it. 
I’d just have to know when.

Oooh… I think I did last one week while I was at WPI Frontiers (which was two weeks)… I’m not quite sure, because I know I did check CD at least 5 times… Hmm
Howabout the, “I don’t need people to force me to better myself” choice? What is this, communism?
Just a thought, there are other part of the CD forum that people use for their own purpose, such as announcements and the FIRST related organization forum. I would like to request that different party can request to keep their forum alive if we are to go on with this 1 week break. Maybe close most of the normal forums during this break and leave some open.
Ken… no offense, but I think you need more of a vacation from ChiefDelphi than Brandon does. Cal-Games is over 2 months away, I think you could benefit from the break.
Read a book 
well, since i’m going to be away from the internet this next week, then i think that everyone should have to go through withdrawal with me. i vote yes!
Bad idea and I voted now. What am I going to do at work?! :ahh: I can’t stop having breaks like how the union workers do every 20 minutes!!
I hope Papa Smirf (Chris Fultz) doesn’t see this because he’ll show it to my boss. Oh wait, Papa checks CD just as much as I do and I wont get his lunch anymore… 
P.S. I do work hard, and dont really spend that much time on CD. Don’t believe what anybody else says. 
Hate to sound harsh, but besides the poll options being rather biased…it’s Brandon’s decision in the end. The point of the other thread was to voice opinions concerning the matter. If you want a numerical count, count the replies.
Can we close this?
I definitely think id die without delphi.
I already did my time. A week in the High Sierra (minimum altitude 9600 ft.) from 7/3-7/9. But even though there was no internet, the cell phone worked, if you found the right place. It is getting ever harder to “get away fro it all”

Here is my idea
Brandon gives extra moderating priveldges to selected/all the mods on this forum and goes on a cruize. YEAH, he needs a break… Let the moderators handle chiefdelphi for a week… I think they are capable of it, right?
True, the sample whose voting are biased towards being active on ChiefDelphi during the summer.
Like the Bush-Kerry internet polls, its for amusement purposes only.

I think that idea is more doable, except the whole cruise part. Im sure the other mods can handle it.
hmmm a week isnt bad…but whenever i go on the computer, this is the first website i automatically go onto. im liek addicted or something. It doesnt bother me if theres no chief delphi website for a week. its just a week, its not liek its a year or a month or something. its just 7 days lol
I’ll do you one better and go without two weeks in mid August (due to the fact that we will be in St. Croix without any internet) 
It’s already like that. There are many mods that have different levels of admin power. Brandon takes breaks a lot of the time and many people dont even notice. Example at 2004 IRI all but 1, maybe 2 mods where at the event without access. Not much can go bad when B is gone.
Lets send him on a cruise 
Instead of closing the forums, just have a page that says:
Do you really want to go here? I mean, look outside. It’s sunny. It’s a great day to go fishing/skating/rollercoater riding/mountain bikeing. If it’s rainy, enter here.
It just occured to me that some people have CD set for thier home page. This may be a bit of an inconvienence for them but who knows… I can only speak for myself.
OK let’s all take Brandon and go on a cruise. Now that’d be fun, and we can have rooms about different topics and Brandon sitting in the security room monitoring all of us?
ChiefDelphi Cruise. fun.
