Default The "i'm defecting threads"

Is it hissy fit month? Are everbodys dollys wanting to be thrown?


Just for the record, im not leaving,

a) i cant be arsed

b) I actually like it here,

c) i dont have an ego that needs to be massaged

Why do people feel the need to annouce to all there leaving? are they waiting for the raft of "dont go's" etc to make them feel loved, or is it a bit of an attention thing?

Should i decided to leave, rest assured it will be the silent method, with a couple of private emails to a few people on here .... they know who they are...


I can never work out why people come onto a "forum" stand above the parapet, and wave there flag, so to speak, then get all angsty when people take shots.

If you dont want the attention, wanted or otherwise, then dont put yourself in the position where it can happen.

To me, all the pathos of the last goodbye is wasted, all your going to get is more grief lol

I kind of regret posting a thread, but after nine years I wanted to say my goodbyes, for better or worse.

Oh no he wasn't the first to have a massive number of multiple aliases.

But he was the worst at hiding it Not very computer savvy for a nuclear scientist

Anyhoo, I'll bugger off when I bugger off. I often do, anyway, sometimes for a few months. Nobody notices either which is comforting to know, as its not me f**king it all up

Disagree. The above is your opinion based on your standing and dare I say it popularity on here (insignificant at best). Therefore a silent unnoticed departure on your part would be advisable, as I don't think anyone is going to be imploring you to stay.
In the case of more established and popular posters, their departure genuinely moves people to post something (positive and negative). I presume it was Bubba's thread that precipitated this thread (nice to ride on someone's coat tails). I for one am glad he posted the thread, a final adieu (Bubba would have to write far too many PMs unlike your couple) to let those that are bothered know he's departing.
If you do decide to leave (bearing in mind it's going to be silent) don't let the door smack your **** on the way out.

Why? Just beacuse it doesn't tally with Mart's code of conduct? I wouldn't give too much credence to that school of thought.

Nice to see the old clique is still being as bitchy as ever.....

pot kettle and black springs to mind....

I personally couldnt give a toss if people want to leave, it just makes me laugh that they have to anounce it publicly...

It's been said before that half the problem with SN is the way it treats members, new & old, nothing's changing there then.... lol (apart from the forum name prehaps )

I seem to recall saying to simon some years back, that the forum had outgrown its creator, and removing members,or leaving wouldnt make any differance to the forum, as it would carry on without him / them

Likewise with this little 15 mins of fame lol. if people want to go then let them go, if they want to stay then stay.

If poeple want to post threads having a lighthearted dig at people doing that its up to them.

I think you'll find this informative.


Gynaecomastia is often spelled as Gynecomastia. Although the spellings are different the meanings are not different. The first spelling is considered to be the approved spelling of UK and the latter one is approved in most of the world including US. Gynaecomastia among men is a very familiar state that has an effect on males. It is basically stated as the swelling of the glandular tissue surrounding the chest area.
