I haven't been reading those kind of threads. I assumed they were a marketing ploy. I figure that when most people give up that they don't announce it to the world; they just give up.

Over the years, I have seen so many threads entitled...

"I am quitting the Warrior Forum!" (Good bye)
"This is the last time you will hear from me!" (what a relief, sometimes!)

I even closed myself up in my room and did some cold calling.
