There's a rather interesting topic going on at ADC that I thought I'd ask you guys about.I've noticed in the short time I've been here that you guys are very fond of the "good byes" when you decide to take a break from the board, or letting people know that you're going into hiding for whatever reason. Do some of you feel like that's necessary, or just something people should figure out on their own? In other words, when you see a thread that says, "Taking a break" do you appreciate the heads up, or do you think that the person is just being overdramatic, attention seeking, etc. Or does it depend upon how it's done? 4951

i read that on ADC too. I mean its not like a huge deal to announce your going but what if you talk to certain ppl on here daily and you just decide to stop. Maybe message them privately to tell them. I don't really know HAHA. Doesnt bother me either way. To each their own. Some people like to let everyone know they are never coming back or going for a break. Its just really your call on what you want to do. There are a few ppl that use to be on every day all day now its like hmm i wonder what happened to them. So in a way its probably cool to let everyone know idk HAHA some ppl get annoyed by that tho. who the heck cares. if you want to tell everyone you are joining, or leaving then just DO IT Emoticon 4951

@BowtieGuy: Interesting thing is, a lot of people actually do. During my time at ADC, I took I think 2 breaks, one planed, the other one not. During both breaks, within 2 days, I was getting private messages, threads popping up, asking where I was. As an everyday, consistent poster, it was natural people noticed that I was gone. So, for my transition, I posted that I was leaving the board to try and circumvent in the detective work about my whereabouts. Bad move, apparently

I've never noticed that here! Who took a break? Did I miss something?  What are the causes for them to leave? people attacking them or they feel they spend too much time on the boards. 4951

@thegoodwife:
I forget the name of the poster, but one person posted saying they were taking a break because of school, etc. And I've seen a couple like that one. Just wondered if annoyed anyone to the point of foaming at the mouth to see a thread like that. 4951

I guess it would be along the same lines as announcing that you are moving from one board to the next because of this or that problem.  Some people like to make announcements and others like to break of slip away quietly.  It's all a matter of preference. 4951

@nikkiole: the only reason i even log on is to see if you are here & if you ever made the move on your coworker/crush.......i've actually thought about crossing over to ADC but i didn't want to jeopardize my Elite status here.......

@donnatella: completely agree. you do what you feel you need or want to do. If someone has an issue and seriously get that bent out of shape about it then they need a xanex or a drink... CHILL out

For me, my transition from ADC to here didn't really have to do with a problem--but I think I just got tired of the atmosphere. But there are some good, intelligent people that I respect over there, and like I said, I've never taken a break without anyone not noticing. Thus the heads up. 4951

@sunshinegirl: LOL. I was just thinking that, too. Had I known it would annoy as many people as it did, I wouldn't have said anything.
