The Perpetual Welcome Back / Leaving Thread

[Gamer1]

personally i hate the "i am leaving" threads, makes think less of the person, his repect is down to 0 in my book.

i really do feel that this is spam, but hey... if we keep tolerating this, it's only going to get worse.

*if you are going to leave, leave, don't say you're going to... cuz i think people can find out for themselves; if you come back, hello

*who else thinks ngemu needs to clean up and remove users that has been idle for more than a year?

well...sometimes when people that are important leave, everyone is like "hey what the crap happened to >insert name<". so in those cases its best that they give us an idea of what happened beforehand.

Not everyone uses IRC / MSN etc, and apart from posting again on the forums, it is perhaps 'nice' to be able to say hello, what you have been upto, these threads don't last long once the hellos are done, so to cut down on # of threads, I put it into this.

Goodbye threads, frankly wether or not you respect that person anymore, frankly doesn't count, they don't need / ow anyone respect (yours or anyone elses). If a person that is important to the community leaves, such as admins / emu-authors etc it is nice to say goodbye, and those members that are popular, well known etc often do and deserve to say goodbye and why. If a person simply vanished from the forums, people tend to get concerned.

I admit if a complete n00b makes a goodbye thread, it's bloody annoying, hence if they do it in this thread, it keeps the annoyence in one place. Also if someone leaves saying "OMG LOL WTF NGEMU SuX, ME TEH AOL LAM0R", then it will be closed / deleted, or atleast occur in this thread, making it less of a blot in the forums.

I just come and go as I like. If I need something from this place I come back. When I drop by I search around some place and maybe reply to a post or two.

Ngemu is like a petrol station for me.

Damn K.I.L.E.R, you have to come back. I miss your joke.

[K.I.L.E.R]

Then you should visit nVnews for all my stupidity.

Just take a look at the story thread.

Personally I don't like the idea of this sticky, because IMO the "I'm back/I'm leaving" threads aren't that much of an annoyance. But I guess it can't be helped

Anyway, welcome back meetbalhead

I don't like the idea of having such a thread... let's face it, the ones who leave and deserve to create a thread on the regard rarely do so (ie: Ryos).

The goodbye threads often are about someone begging for attention or to raise his self-esteem by having ppl tell the person "please don't leave" (I can name some examples, but it's irrelevant)... let's see how things fare with this thread, if it ain't gonna be abused then maybe it'll be useful...

[Exodus]

it won't be used often, because its not as if these threads really pop up THAT often. but it doesn't really matter anyways. just gives us a reason to call someone an idiot for not using this thread. usually i make reasons, but i'll take one thats given to me.

[NOTE OF ABSENCE]
heh, linux is the main reason why i haven't been around for awhile ( a week? ) and i've had lots of personal and computer related business and i have even more so.. i'll be here even less then this. Right now i'm using links in a cli on slackware 9.1. Talk about crazy. Also, i've been hanging out alot in yahoo chats again, like i did when i dropped away from ngemu for about 3 mounths. So i just dropped in to say "hi".
I'll still be on irc, hopefully.
[NOTE OF ABSENCE]
