Like sands through the hourglass, there are times for posters to pass, however, a good rant is the standard* for announcing ones departure. Surely there have been cataclysmic literary outbursts from them who is soon to depart, but I must state, for the record, that I have not found one which has matched the fervor, the heart, the frothing of this gem I stumbled across...

The best "Buh-bye" thread I ever read was on the CompuServe Photography forum in 1991 by "ctein", the then-equivalent of our own EricTheHun. While I was in complete and total disagreement with his position on the particular point of discussion, his farewell message was very eloquent and meaningful.
Frankly, I don't see the point of the farewell thread. If you want to go, just stop posting. No need to be an attention whore. |
|
1991? Wow, you must be old. |
|

The reason you don't see the point is because you're not a total douchebag. Semi anonymous douchebaggery is the fuel that drives the internet. |

<throws hands up>
That's it. I'm leaving!!! ....maybe I should start a thread about it. I hear it's the popular thing to do these days. |
|
So where are these folks going?? The booby bar??
Can I come to?? |

The final "goodbye" post (permanent or temporary) is the sign of a true internut loser . One last "look at me" post before the formation of a new troll account or the reality that is life outside their internut wonderland. Goodbye Dumpy196 and goodbye Theheadlesshorseman, applications for new internut hero's will begin on Monday.

So whose troll account are YOU? |
|
|
I'm sooooo F'ing lost! |

Saying you dont see the point or dont care is fine and dandy, Having said that, Lump and TRH are respected members of this board and it would do you well to show a little respect as well............udog |
|
|
1) Clearly you don't understand the meaning of the word hiatus 2) Some people are missed when they vanish, not that you'd be counted in that group. |

Thanks for the new signature line. |

You have 7,000 posts and are still just a member!! And you have been here two years!! Thats the point bucco you are acting like a class clown and berating people that have been here many years(and paid contributions) your mouth is overloading your ass!! Take this in a nice way STFU!!!! Bob |

Hi BobbyJack!! How've you been? |
|||
|
Fuck that, they lost my respect when they decided they couldn't handle the stresses of posting on an internet forum and had to make their final "I'm an attention whore" post. If they want to leave fine, leave. Don't try to make us all care by doing the "Waaahhh, I'm taking my ball and going home." |

|
ALL LUMPY SAID, WAS THAT HE WAS "ON HIATUS". Do you need the definition? |

The same thread for you as for MERRELL ,don't call Lumpy196(Dumpy196),and same for TRH!!! You wouldn't make a pimple on either of thier ass's!!!! And pony up for a team membership before you blast others that have!! Punks with big mouths like you are the reason they left,we see people like SARGAR/15 ,and FOX ,and Trassioutzero(probably FOXS troll account) get special treatment when they should be gone for good!!! When men of responsibility and command see the higher courts of said responsibility crumble,they realize there is no command and ruin is omminent!!! I too need a rest from the many new (members) that devine interventions and great expectations of how this site should be run(without any purse to back it up)!! Great to see you are happy to see Team Members leave(are you going to anti up to take there place?) Thought not!! So either put up or STFU!!! YMMV Bob |
|
|
Lumpy owed me money!!! Guess I can kiss that $0.02 goodbye... He said he was gonna give me his $0.02!!!
Although I wanna know where is he going? NOSEY MINDS WANNA KNOW!!! |
|
Someone's gotta cru-ush Someones gotta cruuuuuuuuuuu-ush!!! Im telling your hubby!!!! |
|
|
Whatever. Bobbyjack is one of my most favorite people here |
||
|
DrFrige is just jealious!!!! How is Jack? Bob |
|||
|
I don't see it as an "attention whore" thing. Why would it be ? Some people feel the need to explain and some (particularly, frequent posters) feel that close board friends deserve an explanation. It doesn't bother me no matter what the reason. |
|
|
Little Jack is doing GREAT!! That boy is getting HUGE, he's almost as tall, and weighs more then his 12 year old brother! |
||||
|
I think he said he was going to some place called "Hiatus". Maybe it's in the south Pacific or something? |
|
|
But he also said "The End" in his post, makes it seem like it's more than just a hiatus. |

oooookay, FWIW, the thread was not berating anyone, just a post of a (funny, or at least bizarre) "leaving forever" post from a completely unrelated board - if you want to tie it in with anyone specific, that is your deal, not mine. And was a team member, and for my own reasons, am not one now. (and since you quoted DzlBenz & my reply - we are in the same age group - and calling a peer a geezer is considered humorous in some circles, of course I should have forwarded our IM's to you for review before posting) but thanks for your interest! |
