Would you tell people if you were leaving the site?

Some people like to inform others if they have decided to leave the site probably because they have been here a long time and made many friends so feel it's the right thing to do. Others prefer to slip away quietly without any fuss. In the past I have left but never told anyone because I hadn't been here long enough for anyone to notice and felt a little embarrassed that I hadn't lasted very long. Would you say if you were leaving?

I wouldn't because I know no one would care. I am not one of the popular members here perhaps if I was I would. I have taken months off at a time and no one knew I was gone.

@Freelanzer I felt like that when I left and it happened so often that I would have felt really silly if I had mentioned it. I've been here since the end of February this time which is really good for me.

@sprite1950 I have not done that as I have a school page there which I have created. I am not sure if I can transfer it to anyone else. But I have stopped posting there.

Facebook is falling apart fast. We never know who we are talking to anymore and there are too many sponsored messages. And there is the matter of him selling our information.

I would tell people if I was leaving myLot because a couple of people might care. I don't want to disappear without saying anything.

I'd first speak with some of my My Lot friends, to see what they think. It's a tough decision that I've been thinking seriously about doing. Not because I know a lot of people here. Instead, because of my other responsibilities that often get pushed aside, by me.

I guess it kind of depends. I think i would probably just leave quietly. I don't like good byes. But I might but something that says like I might be leaving so if anyone want to still have contact then I would add people I like on social media.

You are absolutely right; it all depends. Circumstances will vary which will determine if an announcement or a quiet departure is necessary.

I have always done that whenever I left Mylot and received a good farewell . I think people liked my decision although the said good things and looked sad. However, I left thrice and joined again every time within days with same name.

@sprite1950 "I should make $14 by the end of tomorrow" Great going - but I can not say the same and there is no chance to say for me in coming months. In fact, I am missing my old gang that would simply jump on my discussions and keep discussing for months together.

No, I wouldn't. The longest time I was away from mylot was almost a year I think and I got emails from those who I interacted with a lot and I informed there why I was away. Plus, when someone is missing here, I don't look for them. I wonder in my head but I don't make a discussion about it because I know they have a good reason for not being here and I don't have to make a big deal about it like I don't want to make a big deal of me being gone when that happens.

@toniganzon I suppose it's an easy response to make, It doesn't require much effort to say goodbye to someone even if you don't know them. I don't know if I would say goodbye to someone I had never interacted with though.

even if i'm not popular here, yes, i still will and tell them i appreciate them and our interactions. i will add that i don't have fb and let them decide if they'll pm me their email or snail mail address if they want to keep in touch. i would be so touched if one or two did.

A few of us feel that way. I don't really like a fuss but it's as Anna says, sometimes when people disappear others worry about them so it's probably best just to tell a regular member so that the information can be passed on.
