No goodbye thread rule

[Anaisa]

I think if you're going to leave permanently, you should make an entertaining exit. A simple goodbye thread is just plain boring. So since they're not allowed, this might make people create more interesting departures. Plus if it were allowed, there probably would be loads of sickening threads that would go something like:

I'll miss you guys :sob: don't ever forget me k?

Don't go!!!!!! I'll CRY! *crying*

I have to I need to concentrate on my studies *huggles Rikkubabe7654342323*

Good point.

Okay so this rules in place for a purpose. On the plus side, this thread wasnt closed imediately. You can close it if you want.

Goodbye threads aren't allowed because they're silly.

Most of the generally well-liked members who leave EoFF, don't leave in the "Today is the day I stop going to EoFF." They leave gradually, having other things to occupy their time, and eventually, you just don't see them posting anymore.

The people who do the whole, "Today I'm gonna stop posting at EoFF and I'm gonna make a huge post about it!" are the people who have some major gripe, got into some squabble with other members, is somehow disgruntled with this place, and all they want to do is make a fuss. We don't care much for fuss-making.

And then there's a whole lotta people who do the goodbye thread *only* so they could have people say, "don't goooo! We love you!" And those kinds of people are the most infuriating off all because they didn't really intend on leaving, they just wanted attention and people to "convince" them not to leave. And they are whores for doing that.

And off course a great deal of people who would do the "goodbye" thread eventually come back. It's that whole, "I HATE YOU ALL AND I'M LEAVING THE INTERNET FOREVER!" thing and they end up coming back 2 weeks later. Pfft. Whores.
