[QUOTE="rggoodie, post: 52325, member: 1853"][b]Think it out[/b] Although this is a coin forum, it becomes more than that. It becomes family. We talk, we joke, we fight, we encourage and chastise. And whether a person is leaving a job, graduating from school or leaving a forum, there is seperation anxiety and grief. It is often not labeled this way but that is what it is. To help those who are going through the grief process. Let them say good by Let other members say good by. It may be permanent as in death or leaving school and never seeing another again or it may be like a job transfer and someday we will met again. Having said that. I believe there should be some time limit on how long these threads are left up. Once there has been not activity on the thread for seven days, from that point thirty days later the thread can be taken out. The same with Birthday threads. I really enjoyed the thread I received this year, but it is time for it to go. Once we have allowed a reasonable "grieving period" we need to get on with daily living. Now that I have depressed everyone time to celebrate and go out and buy a new coin![/QUOTE]
