I've dissapeared for weeks at a time, the list time was for about a month. I've also never announced that I would be dissapearing, I just come and go according to mood/interest level.

Turning over a new leave topic

You come and go, you come and go, like Boy Geroge. Some psoters want to know if anyone cares about them not being there, I guess. I would miss many of them if they permanently went, like when I miss newpaper columnists when they retire, resign or go on extended leaves of absence. I hope they return at some point.

Can't they just, like... go?


Yeah, I've left and come back heaps of times. often for months, maybe 6 or more. (not permanent) People that whine and make threads about it just do it for the attention.

If you're going to leave just... leave. Don't make a big song and dance about it. And don't let that door hit you on the arse on the way out.

Yes, it happens all the time.


I guess I hadn't noticed because... they didn't announce it. Hmm. Makes sense. I love being blonde ;)


Hehe yep. Glad someone pointed this out. I think this is an example of "Confirmation bias", but it might not actually fall into this. Either way it's pretty close.

I didn't post on here for several months. I never "left" WP, just wasn't in the mood to post. Then one day I did want to post, so I did, though I never really "came back", and I've been posting a fair amount since then.

I don't see what the big deal is. If someone doesn't want to post, then don't. When he does want to post again, then do.

I guess it's like hale_bopp wrote, they just want the attention. Personally, I never bother to read such threads. :D

Yeah, I'm getting annoyed by these 'LOLZ IM LEAVING' topics only for the person to really be begging for attention. =_=

Yep, more insults to go on the pile.

No, this one was actually aimed at someone else.

But you can include yourself if you'd like. :P

Exactly! So, you wouldn't have to care what they think of you! :P

I went there once, saw a topic called "SHOULD CHILD PR0N BE LEGALIZED" and immediatly hit back on my browser.

Why would you assume that? Isn't that a little narsissistic? Tim_Tex is the only member I'm aware of currently talking about leaving. Not everything bad or insulting is about you.

Well, posting on an online forum isn't going to better your life. o.o
