I dunno, I still don't understand the need to announce a departure from an internet forum.

Friends?

If anything, I would send a pm.

What if he has a lot of friends?

Friends? Really?? What does anyone truly know about anyone else here???

What if he also wants to say goodbye to acquaintances? What would be the purpose doing all that privately?

Besides being more genuine than a big showy farewell? Hmm... That's a tough one. What's the difference between a thank-you note and a text blast?

This is what is really funny about Josh making this thread, thinking "Oh if Emmcee1 is going to draw attention towards himself, just by saying goodbye, than so can I."

What's really funny is you don't know what's funny about this thread. Josh isn't-- at least this time-- seeking attention. He's parodying what seems like the umpteenth thread where someone climbs onstage and announces to the few who care and the many who don't that he's got to step away from the forum for awhile, personal reasons you know, can't say if he'll be back but he'll miss his friends, the mods are great, etc etc. To the best of my knowledge, none of these goodbyes has lasted more than a week or two, and most returns are heralded like the return of Odysseus.

And even if EmmCee did it for the attention, so what? Look at the birthday threads. Look at the milestone post threads. We're all trying to bring attention to stuff.

Not stuff-- ME.
