about leaving/flouncing threads/posts?

I just think, if you hate it that much why not just stop coming here! It's dead easy really, why announce it, or post multiple threads about why you hate the place.

I guess some peeps feel the need to say farewell and explain why, instead of just disappearing? lol

I've seen loads of threads before on C4 about FM's who are missing, or who haven't been heard of in a while. At least for some, there'll be an explanation

Wheres the fun in that though, if you are going to storm out of anywhere the lure of slamming the door behind you is strong!

I always thought a flounce was a particular style of thread though. A sod it all I hate the lot of you kind of thing. Is a flounce any kind of a leaving thread?

I have left forums in the past but merely emailed the admin/mods to delete my username. Never made a big song and dance about leaving.

This poem may explain it a bit

Slam the door as you go out by Jim Burns

I didn't tell them
when or where
i was going,
merely went, and when
I returned I found
they'd never missed me.

In future, I'll announce
my departures
in a loud voice,
and I bet
they'll talk about me
as soon as I'm gone

Oh god... that brought back memories of when I ran away from home when I was 12.... I nicked some frozen hot dog buns from the freezer and went and sat in the fields for a long long time (about 2 hours)....

.... when I returned I was full of remorse for any worry I may have caused my parents.... only to find they had all gone off on a family trip down the DIY shop.... and had left the door unlocked cos they had thought I was in my room!

And I'd been nibbling round the bread rolls... as it defrosted.

I always think the same

why bother to announce & then sit around replying ?

It kinda defeats the object

If you're going ... just go!

It's terrible when no one misses you! You should have flounced noisily.

I have to say some flounces are more about getting even, I remember Storm giving it good and proper to the mods and a few fms - but mainly the mods!

I think if it was THAT absolute that I would never return... and if I felt proper proper hard done by... then perhaps... maybe I would... if I did do it... it would have to be extreme...no point in half measures.

But I would hit submit comment.... and then quickly exit the page... and never have the bottle to look at the responses.....

I would actually not hang around, and not return... I would be cringing too much! And too much of a coward!

Oh... and there is also the last-word-itis risk as well! Its hard enough logging off to go to bed some nights.

Aye... sometimes its the only way to deal with kids strops.... my son has only once thrown the "I am off to live with my dad" line at me....

Cos I just said... "fine, I will have you every other weekend then... shall I phone him for you now"

There was a quick turnaround from the boy... and he has never used empty threats with me again (wonder when he will realise I empty threated him back)

you wont need to read it because it will be so good it will be said every day in the sit for all time. like morning prayers or some such thing. It will be ingrained in your very being

i think tough love is needed sometimes its harsh but appriciated (sp) ? at a later date

I've never seen a true flounce thread.

Seen a few "I'm unhappy, it's not working for me here" ......... I see them as a genuine feeling of a need to belong here, and not as a pfft, if your not happy here then dereg.

Sometimes people need a bit of reassurance, and not a"'piss off if your not happy" type of approach.

Maybe sometimes people can't hack it but don't want to leave their online friends and associates worrying where they are? I mean, we've all seen threads wondering where a missing FM has got to (and that's a good thing, imo).
Likewise, I used to enjoy the HL thread when BB was on - I didn't 'know' everyone but enjoyed their company and would notice if they weren't around for a few days.

You don't have to be close to appreciate someone and their contributions to a forum community.

If you like them, you can make them stay (OK, persuade)
and if you don't, it's quite good fun too.

That's it in a nutshell Cosmo..............I miss people on here I don't even know , and have never spoken to.

Their absence has been noted, and it's a duller place without them.
