Leaving An Online Cummunity: A Guide

So you're leaving a Web board?

Tired of it all, or just plain sick of idiots or cynics messing up your day? Congrats! You've now decided to take charge of your life and go reside somewhere else on the Web. Here's a simple-step program on how to leave a message board:

1. Make a fuss about it in a desperate attempt to gain attention. You're writing the veritable equivalent of a suicide letter right now, keep going!

2. Drag it on and on, because when you're an emo teenager, you need to have all the post-whoring you can get. It's like that old saying: "Why should I leave in silence, when I can whine, whimper, and complain..."

3. Give no good reason for leaving. After all, not having a good reason is the logic behind most of your actions!

4. You shouldn't keep your "intense" agony to yourself. Go on! Share it with people who really don't give a rat's ass.

5. Under guest status, obsessively browse the Web community you just left. When you see people throwing "Good Riddance!" parties, cuss them out to yourself...

6. Return after three weeks and say, "What? No, someone must have hacked my account! I never wanted to leave!"

7. If you don't like that, you can always come back after several months, posting some worthy "I'm sorry I left" speech. You know you were wrong to leave. You promise to be a better member and take a bigger interest in the online community, when actually, no one cares whether you like the community or not, and certainly nobody missed you.

Here in the Milky Way we want our Web board members to be the best at what they do, including being stupid. ;)
