tl;dr. bye
It's a lot better when you just leave without saying goodbye. But of course, a lot of people do it so that they can get people telling them to stay.
If I said I was leaving, would be come after me and beg me to stay?
If you were leaving the forum, I would hope it was because we were both leaving.. either you finally decided to move to Houston, or me to you where we would start our lives together.
Skype just doesn't do you justice, I have to say. But don't worry, I was just joshing. I would never make an important decision like whether or not to leave this forum without discussing it with you first.
