I spent a majority of today looking through old threads, trying to catch up with all that I missed in my over year of absence, and the one thing that has made me really sad was the amount of guest accounts there are now. I started sifting through announcements, archieved threads, even a few threads from a few months ago, and there are so many guest names that I knew.
With every name I saw in that depressing white I felt something stab into me. Every time I saw a deleted account I thougth about what they took from DH. Their usually funny icons bounce into my head coupled with their clever wit coming through their location and siggie quotes. The personal text that we will never be able to see again. All the contact info that they had in case we were ever feeling nastalgic enough to send something to 'em. Its as if we've been denied the ability to find their other posts, and it honestly hurts a bit.
It makes me wish I could go back in time, reverse some of the decisions that drove so many away from us, or at the very least tell them not to delete their accounts. A deletion of an account is about the most permanent thing you can do to erase who you were, so why would you want to do that? I just don't understand it *shakes head* So to those who are thinking about leaving now or in the near future I simply ask that you leave us something to remember you by other than a guest name that may not even be the display name we all know and love you by.

Yeah... a lot of people have left DH recently. It really is depressing, especially if the person who left is a close friend. (or as close as you can get on a forum.) I'll miss everyone that left DH. I'm definitely not going to leave DH anytime soon, but if I do I promise I won't delete my account. (I'd probably come back a few days later anyway 'cause I'd miss everyone too much!)

I feel the exact same way. Karma for you for actually saying it though. I think a lot of us feel this way.

Needless to say, Horyo does do a great job of compensating for our losses, but there's still that little sting that will never go away. Ever. Rogue Angel, please don't delete your account, I intend to send you a message in the future to check up on how you are doing. Don't think that your farewell post in the Harem went unnoticed.

GH.. you are just one depressing son of a... We'll just leave it at that. People need to stop deleting their accounts and start speaking up. That was the message from the "Another One Has Gone" thread. Did I say you could use my bandwidth, Horyo?
