Goodbye to goodbye threads...

Talk about anything in here.

Those kinds of threads bug me, mainly when it's like, "I'm leaving" and then you open it and their like, "For one day. Got you guys, didn't I? Now, I'm not mad or anything, I just have to go to the dentist. I'm not commiting suicide. Be back tomorrow." I'm just like, "What? Come on, ONE day?" Or even two or three, or even a week, no one will think you've left for good in that short of a time. And it just kind of takes up room. I usually say bye because I want to be nice to people, and I don't have a problem with any of the people that have posted these threads, but I just hope they won't next time. We all love you, and we'll all be glad when you're back, but we'll make it OK for a few days without knowing exactly where you are. If we just leave it to people to assume we're just away for a bit, the board will be a lot less cluttered ;)
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Hehe. I apologize. I made a leaving thread once...I was going away for two weeks, and I didn't think I'd get to be on at all. I had spent a lot of time here over the summer, and I didn't want to seem as though I had dropped off the face of the earth. XD I left a thread, and then posted on it later, when I found I could get online. I am shamefaced. -///- Of course, it was the only one I ever made, and if I were to make another, it would only be for a really long period of time. So uh...Forgive meee! XD

As soon as I think the problems I've been having on here are over, I come across this. Perhaps it would make you happier if I randomly disappeared to leave you wondering if I'm dead or not? The purpose for goodbye threads is so that people know that you are leaving. Many times someone has left randomly--like you--and I've wondered if they were dead and I have spent countless hours praying for people who have randomly disappeared without trace or warning. If you don't like them, ignore them.

If you guys are so sick of goodbye threads, maybe you should think about people who are sick of complaining threads. :shady:

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

I have to say I agree with you all the way on this one Heart of Sword.
I've prayed for people on here over and over again when they had disappeared for a while. Of course I was happy when they came back and explained what happened but it also irritated me that they didn't tell me why they had gone in the first place. At least PM your closest friends and tell them where your going and maybe they'll pass it on. It's very stressful when friends suddenly disappear without an explanation first.

Like once, someone had posted in the prayer room that they were sick, then not too long after that they vanished for about a week. I thought they were in the hospital or something and, though I was relieved when I learned that they were okay, I was a bit frustrated.

The thing is, some of us have many many friends on here and it's a pain in the tail to PM every last one of them. And then there might still be people who are concerned when you disappear, friends or not.

That's why there should be good-bye/sick/going away for a while, threads.
If not, than wouldn't everybody just be worrying for nothing? Is there a point to this thread?

I have a name for people like you. It's called flamebait.

You should listen to your own advice. If you don't like complaining threads, don't post on them. If you don't ignore them, don't complain on a complaining thread about complaining.

Maybe everybody should calm down a little bit because we all seem to be jumping at each other's necks. I'm not trying to start another fight, but I think it would be best if we tried to express our feelings carefully and thoughtfully.
I still have to agree with Heart of Sword on this matter though. I also wonder why this thread was made because all it seems to be doing is causing people to get mad at each other.
