Oh.. oh,oh. My bad.
I am so sorry to hear that Kataangist. Maybe if you talk to Shay, she might share some of that 200lb chocolate bar to make you feel better. I just got a look at it in the Pictures thread.

I know.There are a whole bunch of people who left. I have been to other forums,but I really think being on multiple forums is a huge waste of time.It's not just forums I've been on,it's also other websites.I hardly ever go to myspace or yahoo or gaia anymore. I'm never leaving either unless forced.(by that I mean not being at a computer area.Even then that's not even leaving REALLY.just a little some thing called a BREAK.)But people who post once and never appear again,I don't care if they leave.I never knew them anyway.Besides,they obviously never cared much about coming here anyway. (Yeah,I like that Toph one.)

People leave when they have no use for the forum anymore, or when the purpose it used to serve is not served any longer.
Sadly, DH is nothing like it was when I joined.
I'll admit I haven't deleted my account simply because of the gaming forums.

Eh, it's improved some recently in my opinion.
The idea of cutting back on spam was good. Although cutting back on stupid would have been better *shot*

It seems the same to me.Maybe you just joined a long time a-*looks at join date and sees you joined in the same month as me*...nevermind.

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. You're right about that, and I agree with you. I hate seeing someone's account be deleted after I return here after being away from a long time for various reasons. I wish I could at least say goodbye, but I can't because my mom sleeps so that she goes to work, or play pool, or I have other plans. It breaks my heart to see that my buds Luna and Dan deleted their accounts. I don't want to see any others delete their accounts. It's like a close bud's saying, "I don't want to be friends with you anymore," and just leaves. (This, to tell you the truth, happened to me with a lot of my friends, except they don't really tell me that they don't want to my friend any longer. They just... keep their distance away from me.) I don't want that to happen again.
