This is just one of those nightmares you get when you eat a bean taco.

Ok, what we needed more is a madman (err, sorry if you\'re a girl) that announces the Apocalypse :D

 No one is leaving and no, the world is not falling apart :P

 And put away those \"doom  is coming!\" banners :D

As many people are leaving as before, it just seems more people are posting about it in the forums. I left for a whole month and a half, and you didn\'t hear any goodbye threads from me. I think this whole goodbye thread thing should be banned, they serve no purpose except for pity and any goodbyes you want to make to good friends on planeshift can be done in private messenging. They have no place on the public forums whatsoever. :O

Kixie, don\'t tell me, and you\'re jealous? They had a \"good-bye\" thread, and you didn\'t :D
 Hmm, Good Bye :P

 Krayn, did you at least know them? Anyway, this will be locked ...

Okaaaaay ...
 Did you at least see my point? Hmm, I guess not. Anyway, stop replying, this has no sense, and we don\'t need a thread like this.

They went to a pub... but they will come back - drunk and as annoying as always.

Goodbye threads do serve a purpose in some cases.  Such as Depthblade, he was the leader of a guild...his leaving will therefore affect the community.

Now I could agree on the other ones, but really, if you don\'t like them then just don\'t read.

Though, multiple goodbye threads from the same person...just ban the guy. ;)

He is indeed the leader of a guild, however this could have been posted on the official forums of his guild, and if he didnt have a forum, he is REQUIRED to have a guild website to be official. That website does have a purpose. My point is that official forums like this one have no need for goodbye threads bye anyone except developers admins and moderators. It doesn\'t hurt anyone to do it now, but given enough slack it could amount to a big problem.

People come, people go.  Heck, I showed up for about a month last year, on MB, stayed long enough to find, and then give away, some diamonds and other crystals, and went puf before fall, and showed up again just recently, all icognito and such.

Populations are fluid, particularly online.

Yea, people are in and out all the time.
I even posted a \"will be gone for a while\" thread at some point in the none to distant past: Mostly a play for some attention (which I never got. ;( )
Also, when I got here a bunch of the elder players left (or were leaving) and it all worked out ok. Some people just don\'t have what it takes to Evolve with the world...while others have more important things to do than play video games all day and still others...and others...well you get the point.
People are always coming and going.

I have to agree with Kixie that Depth could have announced his leaving (as far as it relates to game dynamics) in his own forums (which I am sure he did) and in the Guild Forum since that is what is being effected the most. However if he had done that I would never have seen it since I am currently under oath not to enter that forum.
:D

ps: that forum = {Guld Forum | Depth\'s Forums} Pick

You should start reading all the threads, he did a in-character goodbye thread in the \"RolePlaying\" boards called \"The End\". He was just showing his out of character goodbye here which really there is no problem doing or atleast thats what I think. Besides he wasn\'t leading a guild before he left?

What bearing does that have on the rest of your statement?

Anyway who bets that by SB everyone will be back and there will be a ships load of \"Guess who\'s back?\"

Ok, people come, people go. This is a circle, that will never leave PlaneShift without members in here. It\'s inevitable.

 And this kind of things were discussed many times before. Try reading this, and stop with useless replies please ...
 * points to - HERE (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=10290&boardid=19)

 * EDIT *

 Ok, that thread started from a relative different reason, but this kind of things were also answered in there.

Great, but you got only half of my point.  I realize he could have just posted it in his guild forum...and I\'m sure he probably did.  But a guild leader has duties outside of his guild, and it\'s only smart to notify those who might potentially contact him that he will not be available.

And it\'s a big waste of time trying to contact these people when you can just post it in an off-topic forum where it is well within the current rules (unless there are some more made-up rules that no one knows about).

Oh, and the rest of you, please shutup.  The thread will die when it dies...you are not moderators and therefore it is not your job to moderate these forums.

Keep your damn posts somewhat on topic.

hey, i used to play more than all of you put together....well not that much :P , but i used to play alot on a regular basis.

i would disapear for months and then comeback.

i would disapear due to school work ect...but im not going to make a thread saying \"ill be gone a while\"

there should be 1 thread about people comeing and going called the \"im going\" thread. hehe.

for instance, i have only played 5 mins of cb and never even seen a monster, but i have played hours and hours of mb.

Bah, it should have been on the official PS Website. :)

People come and people go. I would say we are now in one of those \"dry spells\". I call it the \"Post-CB Planeshift Supporter Reduction.\" These things happen all the time... Don\'t worry, we will have a surge of newbs soon (tm).  :)

Couldn\'t have said it better myself, but really I don\'t think people are disappearing or going...perhaps exploring other options or plotting other schemes :) Meh

Well these are the only 2 goodbye threads i have seen and they where pretty well known members so I guess its okay. I get more ticked off by the Im back threads by random people that where here over a year ago and had like 3 posts...:evil:

While I personaly did not know Kuiper that well I am glad Depth made his good by thread otherwise I might not have gotten to tell one of the first friends I made here good bye.

After all just think of the number of pms he would have had to make if he had done it that way.
