I think I'd rather welcome old member back than welcome some random newbie here. Let's say if someone like Del Murder would disappear for a year so suddenly and then he'd come back, I would be so very excited to welcome him back. Same thing for "I'm leaving" threads. If some veteran leaves, I think everyone should know about it and to not leave us wonder "where did he/she disappear?"

Yeah, I made a newbie thread on Eyes on each other two years ago. It felt nice to get replies there. YOU, Lilly, made a newbie thread also back then, and maybe we would've never met without that thread.
But it's true that EoFF is getting huge, and there's more and more members joining all the time making threads, which sinks good threads from GC's page one to page two.

I still think newbie forum wouldn't be a bad idea. If it would be, I think it would be reasonable for at least to ACTIVE veterans to make "I'm leaving" and "I'm back" threads.


When/if I'll ever leave EoFF, Hell yeah I'll make a thread about my leaving eventho' I'd know it'll be closed. I just want people I know to not wonder where I left and why. Wouldn't wanna email or IM to every "half-friend" and "half-half-friend" and non friends that I left.
