I learned pascal at college. The lecturer claimed it to be a good language to learn the basic programming methods so other languages would be easier to learn.
Then we looked at forth. and made a copy of forth using C. Yes, we had to write a language using another one. How the hell did i pass that course?
Also clicking is great fun, ive lost the will to click right now, and sadly for a hell of a long time. But i'll never actually quit.
So if i ever do stop, it'l be a slow and painfull death, and i'll probably still visit here because it's been a part of my routine for about 5 years now.
It's a bit of a weird question, "when will you stop clicking?". A week on Tuesday. I don't know. I don't plan to stop making games at all, but the sudden need to get a real life is holding me back at the moment.
My MMF2 demo ran up and click-team hasn't sent me my dicount code(or whatever magic saves me munnees). I went to the right page and submitted my serial number from 1.5 It's been a few days, is there anyway to speed up the process? Can I call them up or something, or should I just wait for them to get back to me? Is it normal for them to take a few days? Isn't it automated?
edit: I just realized i hijacked the thread. I meant to reply with 'I'll stop klikin when them demo runs up', then I quickly realized that was true.
Ask this at the Clickteam forums - http://www.clickteam.com/center/. There is a specific email address for asking about discount codes, but I can't remember what it is.
I'll stop kliking when something better than MMF is released, most likely by Microsoft for one of it's user-friendly monopolize everything techniques. I'd say I have some loyalty to Clickteam, but a lot of that loyalty's waned seeing how many bugs they put in klik products that they refuse to fix without making us pay for the fix .
Or maybe once I find a method of making fun games with less effort, like if I got into a professional game making team which would let me focus on one thing at a time.
But personally, I don't really mind being a 50-year old kliker. After all, Silky was pretty old when she started the community. Unless I get some irrational wife who'll force me to "stop making stupid games and go to bed".

Like Phizzy said, it's not sometime i'd plan to do. If I suddenly didn't have enough time for clicking i'd stop. Otherwise it's somthing to do isn't it?
