if you say you are leaving FA...

Then actually leave. Post your journal...give it a week or two for folks to find you elsewhere...then delete your stuff and change your password to something you'll never remember . Otherwise....what's the point?

Agreed. A good 90% of them, if not more, will be back.

Everyone can make mistake, so there is no problem if they come back.

I find it amusing when I see people still here chattering about how they've left... and yet there still here chattering away at people. ^^()

They want to leave cause they believe a false rumor. . . fine let them be gone.

Well rumor or not i dont know. But I hate when folks talk the talk but can't walk the walk. Whatever someones reason for leaving is their own...I just ask they actually stick with it or else they are just as bad bad the 'monster' that they say is tearing the community apart.

It was something that happened a few years ago over a relationship fallout, which was proven false back then. It's like how a "Gift" suddenly becomes a "loan" after a dating couple breaks up.

I felt a bunch of them we're "I'm also here" posts. Not necessarily leaving but informing those who were that they are also on a different site that is getting some traction.

Japheath
~japheath
hate it when my friends do that

Vallen

For me it was more or less not posting my art on FA but still maintaining a presence. :P

Wow! Agreed! I have seen this tactic used before (even been accussed of it and that was after being talked out of leaving FA) and I am doing my best to not stir up such fake drama if I can help it. Still, I do get a bit low on patience when I see it done and inwardly curse out a person for doing it needlessly (Hey, I'm not perfect)
