I can't really comment as I didn't see too many of Roe's posts but a lot of the goodbye, please stop me threads over the past while have been by people with a victim complex so to speak just hoping to be told how wonderful they are.
Personally I think the idea of setting up a thread to say goodbye is a bit egocentric. I'm sure if you decided to leave you would mail a few friends and keep in contact outside of CS without all the fanfare. Most would I think.
Maybe those posters realise the difference between a young attractive lady genuinely sad that the site didn't deliver what she hoped for as distinct from an attention seeking " oh please ask me to stay "

Conor Mortimer's family have accused Mayo manager James Horan of destroying the forward's confidence.
In the wake of the decision of Mayo's all-time leading scorer to withdraw from the county panel mere days before the 2012 Connacht SFC final, Mortimer's family (including his brothers Trevor and Kenneth, both former Mayo captains) released a statement last night, which is published in today's Irish Examiner. It reads:
"Conor lived for Mayo football all his life. He began his inter-county career in the Ted Webb Competition and suffered numerous injuries over the years. Both of his brothers, Kenneth and Trevor, played for the county also and suffered injuries, like Conor over the years. They are 100% behind his decision.
"The family feel that Conor, Kenneth and Trevor owe nothing to Mayo football. Conor is a colourful character and made many friends and some enemies over the years while playing.
"Conor was out of football for twelve months last year with a knee injury. The manager James Horan never contacted him to see how he was coming along.
"When he returned to football, he was playing super football for his club Shrule/Glencorrib. James Horan was notified of a game he would be playing in, but did not attend.
"The family feel that Conor wasn't wanted in the team. He says that every time Conor was dropped James Horan told him he had a new plan, in that he had found two goal-scoring forwards. However, the Mortimer family feel that plan has not materialised.
"Conor was playing well in A v B games in training of late and two former Mayo managers saw him and can't understand why he wasn't picked.
"He scored 0-8 against Dublin in the league in Castlebar and was man of the match in that game, which was well deserved. He was dropped two weeks later for the Kerry game and only played for 10-15 minutes of it.
"He was dropped again from the starting 15 for the Leitrim game because of this plan referred to by the manager. He is currently fourth choice as a corner forward and it has destroyed his confidence. He wasn't happy with the way football was being played in the Mayo camp.
"When the previous manager was in charge, there were four Shrule/Glencorrib players on the panel. Now there are none. Mark Ronaldson was another example from last season - he was playing well and was dropped from the panel.
"In the last seven or eight Connacht finals that Mayo were involved in, Conor was top scorer in six of them. He is the all-time leading scorer in Mayo. He feels he has another three years of top-level football in him, but has made his decision and his family are behind him.
"Football was his life and he was never found wanting. He always made himself available to the media, but now all he wants is his privacy and integrity protected.
"His family are extremely happy with his achievements and are very proud of him and have always been 100% behind him and remain so."
Ah Prowler you got to calm down, a bit of class please! ...This is a lady who needs romancing, attention and love.....but from the look in her eyes she'd eat you up after that!
You know I don't...the population imbalance is finally starting to swing...the era of total Dublin dominance in all age groups of football is nearly upon us....
I hope it's not a case of ticking off the things I want...I prefer the idea of being hit by a feeling akin to getting a smack of a car...I'll have no choice..I'll just love her....
It defines someone at a point in time. I did dig the heels in over many things...my lads night in the pub, sports I played, lads holidays etc. None of them are important to me any more and no longer define me yet each cost me the chance of happiness with different women....chances that I'd now wish I'd taken. Sometimes it's good to see where the other person is coming from...
But why? If it's that important I presume it's one of the first questions you ask a girl? 'if we get on well will you like my dog, coz I'll just call it off now if the answer is no'. No point in leading her up the garden path for a few months for her to then find she's a poor second to the four legged friend. That'd be a bit unfair on her...
