Digital Suicide?

Sign in to disble this ad
Just wondering if anyone else has heard, or used the term.

A friend of mine used it once to describe me giving up WoW, where instead of deleting the toons, I was actually killing them. Since they were an "extension" of me, its like killing myself. In the digital realm.

I LOLed at the concept, but still find it interesting, especially as I consider deleting my Facebook account. I never use it, and I find it annoying at best when I do.

Anyways, ITT: Discuss digital suicide.

I made that video, utilizing 10,000 years in MS Paint to do so.


Not, but the man who posted this thread also posted a thread about that video...

Hmmm ... Digital Suicide ??

Is it faster and more efficient than Analog Suicide ?

If so ... I'm all for it.
