No goodbye thread rule
Seriously, will someone tell me why this rule actually exists? Your allowed to make a welcoming thread, but no goodbye thread? What if your leaving, as in actually leaving and not coming back and you want to create a goodbye thread?
Oh and Seriously, I want an answer.

Well RAEBUS!! XD, you can't make either threads. And that rule is inplace because I'm sure all the people would be like "I'm leaving EoFF because Rye licked my earlobe/loony bob kissed my goat/etc" and other dumb reasons, then come back the next day. It'd spam up GC.
I used to go to a forum where one obnoxious prick would do something stupid, get in a big huff, and then make a goodbye thread every week or two. He was just banned after a while. Good riddance.
Threads that will get you Banned are a form of saying goodbye
...Geddit?
Warn the people who come back a few days later then for spam, and not the people who don't come back?
Maybe the idea is that if you're saying "goodbye" you won't be able to read the answers to your post in that thread, so what would be the point?
Perhaps it shows how loved you were? To anyone who looks at it.
Edit: Or ya know, to say goodbye to people who he wouldnt have on msn/aim/yahoo? Or just to say good bye.
Because if that were the case, people who leave wouldn't post obscene materials to get themselves banned.
So all of the people who willingly leave post obsene porn? Maybe they just leave because they won't be able to get online again/on a pc/die and won't need to post porn to get banned?
Goodbye threads might work. I mean, if the person is leaving, it could tell the Staff some possible problems with the forums.

Extra awesome points for genji.
I think making some amazing kickass thread which is guaranteed to get archived and result in you being banned would be the best way of saying goodbye. It's how I'd wanna go.
An awesome amazing kickass thread in the form of a goodbye thread?
Exactly. If you made one, you'd probably mention Leeza (judging by your sig), and a various array of swear words. What a way to go.
We don't allow "I'm leaving" threads because they're attention-whoreish and we don't want about ten threads a day about someone who's leaving the forum for a few days, it'd get cluttered and irritating.
