<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Peter T Davis, post: 52023, member: 1&quot;]We haven&#039;t had one for a while, thankfully, so I thought now would be a good time to ask so nobody specific thinks I&#039;m picking on them.&nbsp; What do you think of the &quot;Goodbye&quot; threads, and how would you like the moderators to act upon them?</p><p><br /></p><p>From time to time, one of the members here will for whatever reason, decide it&#039;s time for them to move on.&nbsp; Instead of going quietly, they&#039;ll make a big deal about it and post a &quot;Goodbye&quot; thread.&nbsp; The big irony here is that in most of the cases, the person will be back in one form or another within a few days or weeks at most.&nbsp; I can&#039;t think of a single case when someone&#039;s made their big &#039;Goodbye&#039; thread, and then has never visited again.&nbsp; Most come back and join back in the discussion, the rest visit regularly to read.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I don&#039;t really see the point in the goodbye threads, since they&#039;re really not leaving anyway.&nbsp; Personally, I think they&#039;re being drama queens, but I haven&#039;t removed those threads because I think the forum is more about the members than about me.&nbsp; In other words, I try not to let my personal feelings dictate how to run the forum, and will defer to the logic of others when I think I&#039;m making a decision based in emotion.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I&#039;m going to start a little poll here, and ask for anyone to put in their two cents (mint red early Lincolns, if you please).&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
