I don't understand why people associate me with that. I never once made a big deal about leaving forever. The one time I maybe had a valid excuse to - when several other people did so after the April Fools joke - I just laughed and stayed.

I'm one of the people most against "leaving forever." I've left before - often times without any sort of announcement - just because I was bored with the place and didn't feel like coming back for a while. But leaving forever is overly dramatic and takes effort. Maybe I'll one day stop being entertained by this place, in which case I would just leave.

Um...yeah. I agree with Yams and Shlup.
