I’m Leaving! I Quit! I’m Done Here!

I have been with CS for about a year and a half now and I have never seen so many people leaving as of late; almost as if it has become the latest fashion to leave. Luckily most of them are back within hours; at the most a few days.confused

And every time we have such a mass exodus I am a very worried man. At the rate of departure, CS might be forced to invite some banned members back; just to maintain a respectable member count and that won’t do.frustrated

Come on guys and dolls; make up your mind whether you want to be here or not. If you feel that you need an extended break then say so and take your break. If you want to quit CS altogether then say your good byes and go! Don’t make a funeral of it. You are undermining your own credibility by playing yo-yo. If you don’t like the site, don’t poison the others; let them form their own opinion.scold

On the other hand, if you don’t really want to leave and are just pissed off with somebody, just retire quietly, think about it for a day or two and come back when you feel better. You don’t sell your house because some guy, four houses down the road, is irritating you. No matter where you go, you will always get somebody to irritate you and undoubtedly you too will work on somebody’s tits. Stick around; this is a nice a place.thumbs up

The “I’m leaving” theme must have been one of the most popular blog topics during the last month or three and it is getting hollow now. I’m sure we can find something better to blog about.doh

I’m sorry if my blog topic got some people all excited for nothing, but I’m not quite ready to leave. If and when I do, nobody will want me back. I shall burn all bridges behind me to make sure I don’t make a fool of myself.grin
cats meow cats meow

Have a good Wednesday and please don’t quit yet. The day is still young.wave

thumbs up agreed... maybe admin should have new rule that once member say good bye anywhere, they should block the profile...

I have to be careful in deciding "good bye" as I would not be coming back here again...
Cat,
I view those type of blogs as being somewhat religious.
There always seems to be a "resurrection" within days, sometimes even hours.
confused confused
there was once a member here who would always say he was leaving, he made more comebacks than Dame Nellie Melba.doh doh confused
Im leaving CS ...
have to do some Laundry , I`ll be back in an hour conversing
Hey Catfoot. Maybe it's because they like the bagging dunno they like the others to tell them not to go. I think same as you handshake
Hi Cat. You make some good points. I know lately I have thought about leaving but I am going to sit on that thought until I finally decide what I want to do. Criticism in the comment sections of blogs, I think is a killer for some people. I know I was recently severly criticized on a blog and I have backed off on blogging. I'm sure there are other reasons people leave.handshake
Hi Smarty
Everybody is free to come and go as they see fit but what make a ritual about it? Or is it just for the sensation?dunno
hug wave
I think when I leave here, I'll send a PM to people I got to like and just go quietly. conversing

Some of these blogs give me the impression of a toddler throwing their toys out of their pram. laugh
they want only attention wave
Hi Simmo
There are may holy men on the site and some does not even wait three days to be resurrected.

Very hard the day to tell the departed from the returned and the dead from the reborn.
laugh rolling on the floor laughing
i dont real care if people go or stay handshake if i dont like more i shutdown and bye bye yay yay yay
Love your post Cat, I could not agree with all you said more. I'm going to go... to the grocery that is, I stop by often. But as you said, those bad apples ruin a lot of this place, often. I just read mostly, my real life is drama free, and want to keep it that way. grin
Hi Miss P
First time I see you here? Then welcome.

Hmm, that is more or less what I think as well.

Cat

I never could understand why people feel the need to explain and justify their departure to a bunch of total strangers dunno wine
I do believe that there are some who genuinely write a "goodbye" blog just to see the response they will get. (attention seeking)
Others i am sure write they are leaving without giving it much thought and then decide to stay, Whilst others, they write it, but stay in the background reading the blogs but no longer participating.
confused doh
I remember about 2 years ago, someone (cant remember who) wrote a "goodbye cruel CS blog i'm leaving"
My comment was
"don't let the door hit you on your way out" doh
needless to say that person then hung around to make a fool of themselves until they were banned.
But resurrections and reincarnation do happen.
frustrated rolling on the floor laughing
Thanks Catfoot for the welcome lips lips
Cat, I suppose you are right. I try and do blogs that people like and can be funny. And yes, taking criticism is part of that. Thanks for what you said.handshake
Hi Kn
Last year this time I went missing for three months on an extended holiday and and when I returned some of my friends were very upset with me for not telling them. So yes, inform your friends and scoot off quietly.
hug wave
It happens in the forums too.People create leaving threads and then members beg and plead for that particular person not to leave etc etc etc.laugh
cheers cheers cheers cheers cheers cheers cheers cheers cheers cheers

I was thinking the same thing...hug

I was waiting for a veteran of CS to say it...I've gotten in a lot of trouble for being the "opinionated" new girl...rolling on the floor laughing

But the again!!! I'm entitled!motorcycle angel2 cartwheel easter bonnet
Hi Kandy
Right, why try to drag others away when you are upset with a place. If I am upset with somebody, I cannot expect you to be upset with him as well.doh
hug wave
K.....I'm with you on that. handshake
Mr. Cat,wave We signed up on our own here as adults. Nobody elected us to be here. So, if we decide to leave, it's upto us to decide. Personal good bye messages to known members are better than public mourning ceremonial blogs. Then there are terminators who wait with their famous phrase 'YOU'LL BE BACK' rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Sir Zman,
rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Now that is funny.
Sad, true, but very funny.
Guess we will read about it somewhere soon.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Hi Choccie
I think the answer came out loud and clear so far.laugh

Hulle soek net iemand om hul ore te kielie.rolling on the floor laughing

Hi Simmo
Are you sure you cannot remember who it was?laugh

I have gotten to know you as a guy with an excellent memory. I'm the senile one around here.
laugh rolling on the floor laughing
Ho Zeu
You mean you were done with CS but CS was not done with you yet.laugh

It's a nice a place.thumbs up
hug wave
Good someone said it... Thank you Catfoot...and to me it looks like they only want attention and a be begged and plead to come back. I have hidden my profile one time out here and I hurt a lot of people doing so, so if I can I will never do that again... I see no need to drew attention to myself by telling everybody I am leaving... If I leave I will send a PM to my friends and tell them and that's it. But then again I am not so interested in all the attention seeking blogs as many else out here... >I do what is right for me, and that's it!hug teddybear
Hi Jim
And then there are a few who only comment when they can criticize.frustrated

But we need them too, I suppose.
cheers wave
Cat,
well i did try and have a party to celebrate his leaving (yet again), but there have been so many names since i'm not quite sure exactly which person it was. I have a sneaky suspicion he thought he was a colourful bloke.
grin
Hi Z
Hmm, so much like some burglars who make a mess on a guy's desk when they could not get the safe cracked.doh

Pity about the party being cancelled. I planned to attend.laugh
grin wave
well without any excuse...I had been one such....no its my family....though my reasons were entirely my personal...but just to show off and to attract some ????? I behaved meanly...if I am honest to speak....You must be praised to raise the practical issues we so-called ???? don't think of? thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up
I've been on here for several months and also have noticed that some people feel the need to advertise their departure with a long sad story and then are back within a few days. In between the going and returning, they're busy posting away on another site which is their prerogative. It does seem like attention seeking, but it's difficult to take their future blogs seriously. There's something to be said for leaving and returning quietly.
Hi CC
So it is like that in the Forums as well.grin

I thought it was local to here.laugh
hug wave
Cat, you can reformat all you like, most of the regulars here recognise other bloggers either by style or content laugh rolling on the floor laughing laugh
Hi Therese
Entitled or empowered? laugh

You should have said it, I was waiting all the time for a newbie to foot his/her foot in it but with nobody forthcoming, I had to do it myself.grin
laugh rolling on the floor laughing
Hi Usha
True, I have seen that as well but give it to him - he is mostly right!
hug wave
Hi Simmo
I have designed the heading of my blog for a very special audience. You have to cater for all here. I suppose they found the rest of the blog rather disappointing but at least they got the early excitement.laugh
