I think it’s intended to send a message to the admins that QUALITY PEOPLE ARE QUITTING IN DROVES over the AWFUL NEW RULES THAT ARE DESTROYING THE BOARD.
Yeah, right.
I’ve been posting here for almost nine years. Something is always destroying the board.
It’s supposed to make people curious about why you got banned, and I guess it makes sure you don’t embarrass yourself by reconsidering and then continuing to post instead of Sticking To Your Guns. Or maybe they think message boards are like Lays: if it’s there, you can’t help posting, just like you can’t eat just one.
Well, yeah, that was me. You were one of my first Doper stalkees, I mean crushes. I missed you. I’m so glad you came back just before I took those pills… whew.
Re the op, ha- exactly. This whole “breaking up with the SDMB” thing has me seriously confused and also entertained. I have made friends on here- in fact have formed somewhat deep relationships that will affect me for the rest of my life, but you know those people have email addresses and phone numbers and real addresses, too, and whatnot. (Right, Jack? heh) Because they are real people, I am not limited in contact with them to a messageboard. You’re breaking up with a meeting place, not the people in it! It’s ridiculous the amount of drama people can create over relatively nothing.
Here’s the thing … my ex-wife’s name is Alice and now I’m sitting here arguing with myself over whether I hope you are her or whether I hope your are not her.
In “I’m quitting” threads I always have to resist the urge to use the tired MMO Forum meme “kan i have ur stuff?” on them. There is no point, but on the other hand how much here DOES have an actual, important point? I just shrug apathetically and move on.
