...and maybe, besides saying good-by to friends, they also feel the obligation to give HT some feedback as to why they leave. You certainly can´t cater to everyone´s whim, but if the overwhelming majority of people quitting do so for some simple-to-fix reason...wouldn´t it be good to know?

I think if you leave you forfeit your right to whine.

I said goodbye for one simple reason. I’ve been in aced high since 2009, and was playing in the days when there were at least 600 in at one time. I flew with the 353rd slybirds. I started in AvA not too much later. In that time, I’ve met some great players from all over the world. They became friends and all became family. I did this out of the same respect they showed me over the years.

  I didn’t rage quit, nor would I. I don’t speak badly about others or this game. I try to get people to stay and come in here. I have loved the time I’ve been here and it killed me to say goodbye.

 I hope the op can understand this.

I would prefer a goodbye post rather than someone that may have been around a while just leave... Then I won't have to wonder whatever happened to so and so.. Just my preference

That rule was violated by guys like you all the time on this BBS a long time ago! But feel free to call a kettle black! :devil

I'd imagine for attention mostly.

Then they should make their announcement on Facebook.  Wouldn't that be a more attention deficient platform?

when you leave a friends house, do you just get up and leave? or do you say goodbye for the attention?

how about because its the polite thing to do, and you have a lot of friends that might want to know.

shipper has been around a long time. the respectful thing to do is to wish him well.

if you dont approve of people saying good by, you could just keep your mouth shut. as the old saying goes, if you have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all. at least 'what most "adults" do.
I and you guys too...refuse to let Shipper go! HELL NO! Have an Address for him? I would Single Handedly blow his mind!!! :rock

DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!

Exactly..... I've been gone for a bit. Have not canceled my account. Still supporting HT and crew. I just have not bought new controls since the freeze and the ceiling in my office caving in. I know I can stop in.... may be back.... may not. Good folks here..... once you see some other places you realize just how good they are here. LOL

Far better folks here. <S>
