Have you really quit? If you have left the hobby because of the civvie relationship, then why are you continuing to lurk and post here?? Please understand, this is not a shot, but a legit question. I wonder what would happen if she were to find out that you were still reading and occasionally posting on a SHMB?? She (or he depending on the situation) might be able to forgive you for your past activities, but would she (or he) forgive you for the present??
Unlike a lot of people here, I hobby very little, but I am still involved in many aspects so I would have to say that I still fall in the "Monger" classification. IMHO, the only way you truly leave being a Monger is to LEAVE!!
Not suggesting that you need to leave, codybeast(I enjoy your posts and viewpoints), but it is like being pregnant. There is no small involvement, either as a hobbiest or a provider. IJS

Constructive participation in Board posting on hobby related topics which is fun when bored has
ZERO to do with actively hobbying as a monger. Simple as that.
I took the meaning of Monger (As applicable to This thread) as one who actively hires providers period. Not as one who contributes to hobby related threads.
It was my impression that was the intended meaning of the OP. I could be wrong. If monger includes those who simply communicate with those who do then yes I am currently a monger. No problem there. If so the question itself is loaded because the only ones here to answer the question itself are Mongers.
For the record she does know that I've hobbied. There's nothing to forgive in that regard. I doubt she would consider posting cheating although she might not be too keen on it. Then again knowing her she wouldn't mind as long as she could contribute which of course she can't. However the board isn't important enough for me to find out.
Be straight up with what you really mean instead of this wimpy assed passive aggressive BS.
In one breath you say you are Not suggesting I stop posting yet in the same statement you question why I am even bothering to participate.
Contributing constructive insights has Nothing to do with booking sessions as an "Active" monger.
I know for a fact that there are other very active posters here who although they are involved indirectly to the hobby world do Not hire or at least for a very very long stretch did not hire providers while continuing to be the most active posters on the board.
If you are passively hinting I leave the board because I am not actively fucking providers then while it has been fun it would be absolutely no skin off of my nose.
I wouldn't miss posting either so in that sense my original answer to Sixx's question still stands.
Yes some mongers could stop being mongers in a heartbeat. In fact I stopped posting for about a year until the past few months so it is hardly a hardship to stop permanantly.
Ball's in your court. If you would like the posts to discontinue. It's all good. I do have a life. This site for me is pure entertainment when bored and nothing more.
Yes...
