Attention seekers wanting others to BEG them to stay.....Ever notice most come back after starting their pathetic "I Am Leaving, Please Beg Me to Stay" threads? Odd how they never start an "I Lied and I am a Hypocrite" thread once they return.
I would suppose each of us is in some way seeking attention on this site. Why else would we be here? Even just to post to the threads? Don't we want some view put across that we hold? Is that not seeking attention?
cameraman: I guess I was the only one that didn't mean it... I just wanted to read the responses... Why did I???
Hey, no offense at all to anybody, I´m just curious here, and was wondering, why even mention if you leave or not, just do it... But I fully understand that you wanted opinions, very valid!

I don't start threads or post to seek attention. I post to give my opinion, no more no less. That is why it is called a forum. Do some do so to see their name in lights? Most certainly. Those are the minority.

I agree Sweet, but not when it comes to leaving the Site, unless you have found your better half for instance and want to anounce it, otherwise, I find, Threads and Polls, a form to Debate daily subjects, or asking for opinions on your daily life.
rodolpho: Forumming like gaming has become an addiction to many people. It could be an attempt to kick the habit,but fail to do so as with many addictions.

Yes, absoluteley, it is attention, but to my mind one not to Debate on, it should be done in Private, no need to ventilate, why, when and where you are leaving..right? or wrong?

sweetowen: But that's still attention, is it not?
Not at all. Posting is someone expressing their opinion about a certain subject matter which has been presented. Hence the term forum. A gathering place for people to discuss their ideas, opinions, and beliefs. If it was for attention seeking it would be more of the concept of a bulletin board without the option to respond. I do, however, those that start thread after thread after thread in one day just to see their name in lights are seeking attention. Again, the minority.

They could just be wanting to let people know so that if any want to keep in touch, they can email that person to get information on how to contact them.
Some are seeking attention too though, or just venting. But I think it's wrong to just assume that every person who posts an "I'm leaving" thread is looking for attention/pity or what have you.

Sweet, when you start your boyfriend troubles threads are you seeking attention or advice? When you post a joke are you seeking attention or wanting us to have a laugh?

Just in the short time that I've been back I have seen a number of the 'I'm leaving threads'....and yet they are still here.

Well, if I ever left, which I did a year ago, I would send private e mails to the friends I have made, but not make a Thread or Poll of it, to each his own, I don´t Critisize or give my opinions openly if someone wants to go, I may e mail them, but never Post.

Amazing isn't it??? One CSer went so far as to specify July 31 instead of leaving that day, another does it every time he leaves for vacation, yet posted the next day and almost every day since. Another one told us what morons we are, yet has to returned, under disguise, to rejoin us morons.

Why make a Thread or Poll about it.
