Darth Groovy Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 No I am not really leaving, but am I the only one that finds these "I'm Leaving" threads to be annoying? I have been an LF member for a year as of the day before yesterday, and I see about one of these a week. The irony is, is that about 25% of the poeple who post these actually leave. I feel it is an attention seeking device, but I could be wrong. I can understand people saying they are goin on vacation, or loosing they're internet connection, but what steams me, is the ones that say they are leaving because they are; 1. pissed off, 2. bored with the swamp, 3. upset about a mod decision, 4. mad about some posts. I personally feel these type of threads generate a bad image for the forums, and whish they would go away. I mean, if you hate this place, just leave.... why post a thread about it? If not for seeking attention? As a mod, I cannot do anything about these types of threads, but it is an issue with me, and I wish it would stop.

Lunatic Jedi Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 NO DON'T LEAVE GROOVY! Huh? Oh, it was a joke! Ah ha ha ha ha! Funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilles_CL Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Heh Grooves, I know what you mean...But still if they annoucne that they are leaving it's better then just leaving without telling anyone isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Siraious Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Well I'm leaving, the reason: *in a pretend crying voice* I just cant stand yous anymore. j/k Yeah Groovy I know what you mean. If you are going to post a new thread with that sort of title please do go..... yeah there are negative things in here but hey it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertogJan Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Yup the threads can be quite annoying... But I dunno what to think of it, it's pretty harsh to flame people for that when they actually are leaving... Oh well... I'm not leaving, post all the leaving threads you want m8s!! Maybe we should have a leaving thread weekend or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I don't see anything wrong with them if the person is actually leaving for good. Sometimes people just need to rant before they go, plus, it gives everyone a chance to say goodbye to an old friend. The only problem I have with these type of threads is when people don't really intend on leaving in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunatic Jedi Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Always? What about when the... and... never mind. Yeah, they always come back. But if by chance someone actually never came back, (not friggin' likely) at least they'd get a chance to say farewell to all their friends here.

HertogJan Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Originally posted by Semicolon Exactly. Good point. Yes indeed.. Wait I have an idea, what if everyone who posts an "I'm leaving" thread who's actually going to leave, says "I really mean it! Seriously!!" ??!! Oh... wait...

Surfnshannon Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Well I posted an I'm leaving thread yesterday. Is that what your talking about Groovy. I since deleted it as I found myself caught up in a childish aguement. I am considering leaving because of certain forum members attitudes. The system being abused by people who have been with the forum long enough to know better. If it had been anybody who was new, they would have been banned or warned immediately and I see non of that happening. When other forum members are running around calling people f*cking imbeciles and making fun of the everyone behind forumers backs blatently and get away with it, I loose my patients with LF. Sure you could take away the credit system. Gee...that's what they want isn't it? Take away the system that you know hundreds of forumers love because of a handful of childish forumers who should know better by now. But you know...Just because I've been a member for like 2 years now, and have decently respected pretty much everyone in the community - I deserve to be mis-treated because I question other forumer's actions and attitudes. I'm sorry if I am causing a "forum war" but the war was already waged when people started talking about the FTF and making fun of glow names and the store and then making mockery of it and then going around and calling everyone idiots. I used to hate goodbye threads to. I guess I just felt wronged in the worst way. I don't like it when people are made fun of and I am just appalled.

I thought I was gonna leave, and posted a thread so no one would be like "Where did Z go?". I really did intend on leaving, but its hard to leave. Trust me on this. BTW, I made a thread like this a few daysa ago in RSN,Saying I'm leaving for the subject, then the message was about collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
