Might be handy since i've been going on absence randomly lately. I blame my OCD and annoying work schedule.

Why should we care if you're gone for any given amount of time?

"I'm leaving for 4 months, cya!" - Congratulations? We really don't care.

It will just be another little area for Brad and his followers to spam to no end. I can see it now..

Bradstrt : "Leaving to get a soda, be back in 5 minutes!" (Hits new topic)
- 5 minutes later -
Bradstrt : "Back, got my soda." (Hits new topic)

At least something along those lines.

Bottom line, no absences section.

That's where this button comes in.

Why should we care if someone is new to the forums? Might as well just get rid of the introductions section, right? ;)

Either way, people are still going to post "I'm leaving" threads -- it's just a matter of where they belong.

You're over dramatic.

Like Brad has done that before.

Honestly Slashy, "Brad and his followers"? Come on now.

You're being a little too serious these days.

Complaining about e-peen mod competitions, complaining about an army of spammers...

It's a little unnecessary, especially when you know things aren't like that in reality.

Also, you're being a little insensitive. For example,

>Gonna get a surgery tomorrow. I'll probably be away for a week or so. I'm a little scared.
>>Congratulations. We really don't care?

??? That's not the way to handle things.

If we really didn't care, there would be no point to any forums, really.

But we do care. This is a community. Saani recently had to go through a surgery. We were informed through Sin and we worried about her. Why? Because we do care.

Be a little less cynical, man. The world isn't full of trolls and bad people. On the contrary, there is so much good in people. You just have to see it for yourself.

I say, if the majority wants this, give it to them. I really have no opinion on it.

Pfft, he acted like it was bad when I was on another site with him :v

This actually isn't a bad idea, I'm thinking about implementing it.

I feel the more connected we are, the better. People shouldn't be shy to post personal updates if they would like to. We have just gotten to that point as a community.

That's also what communities are for, you're making out to be much worse than it actually is.

Well, you could just change the description of the Forest of Souls.

Either one, doesn't matter to me. It could be a subsection in the forest of souls. I'm working on something else at the moment, so I'll be getting to it soon.
