This most likely has been suggested before, but in the Introductions forum, we could have a single thread for people saying hello after leaving, or just leaving. It is set up this way on another forum.
It's nice to know when someone is leaving, not them just leaving. It gives closure.

Meeeh. I'm not really fond of this idea. I've hated the "I'M LEAVING" threads, because all they do is stir up drama and beg for attention. I'd much rather have a thread for this than a board, though, if we have anything.
So yeah, if everybody wants it, I'll get over myself. I just don't like it that much. xD

It worked fine on this other forum I go on. Sorry I say that a lot, but it backs up my suggestions. xD
This forum is just like that forum (people wise), but it is just smaller.

Or we could stop acknowledging those who leave at all.
Lets be honest here, people. No one really cares that you're leaving. No one will notice you're gone. And if they do, it'll be in passing thought. Anyone who cares more, unless you're living in 1997, can probably contact you in some other way than this forum.
I don't think anyone needs a thread or a post. They just need to get over themselves.

i like the beat them idea... however lets use a bat it might be more fun that way...
also uhhh i hate when people write i am leaveing forever.. its better for them to just go inactive and then if they come back then well cool they get to fill us in... if not then i guess we will just never know..
i dont care to know everything and i hope i never will.

At least have a thread where people can say "I'm leaving for 3 weeks to go to Vermont as a maple syrup farmer...". It's better than 10 threads of "I'M LEAVING" or "OFF ON VACATION HAHAHAHAHAHA".

Right, but, again... no one cares if someone is going on vacation.  They could just put "On vacation in Vermont for three weeks!" in their signature. PROBLEM SOLVED. By the way, Alex, nothing is stopping you from just making a thread. I just personally don't think we need/should have one. |

I'm not making it if people think it is a bad idea. I want it because people keep cluttering Anything and Everything with threads about leaving and vacationing. Just telling people not to do it then letting them do it anyway isn't going to work.
I say we need the thread to keep things orderly.
