I am still confused about how some people just stop logging in oneday. Thoughts?

Well would you just stop seeing a friend in real life... if you became good friends.

Goodbye is only a last effort. Before that there should be signs but no there aren't!

@Primnproper: but we're not talking about friends, are we?

@Alex1610: I have people here I consider good friends, we share our thoughts, our problems and we support each other..in turn I treat them respectfully..

Somebody I don't converse with I probably wouldn't notice somuch..

@Riemann: Why is that necessary? If you wanna log out, do it, why do you need to tell everyone before you leave? Are you talking about PMing?

You just don't wake up one morning and never login for the rest of your life. . It's like you are a robot and you stop doing something.

@Primnproper: But I still don't see why they should tell everyone when they log out

You let your pals know perhaps? Hmm?

@Riemann: Actually I can do that, we're all gonna stop logging one day. Tell me, what's the difference?

@Alex1610: I guess to me if their in my circle and we converse it's about respect..I'd worry if someone just disappeared without a word..that's when you think something drastic might have happened to them..it's not nice not knowing..

@Riemann: Why should I tell my pals that I'm logging out? If you're talking about PMing then yes, we should at least try to leave a goodbye, we can't just leave in the middle of a conversation.

...
You let your frins know cus they are frins?
Yes, we might all logout one day but we leave signs before going off for good.

@Primnproper: What if they do say goodbye then they stop logging in?

@Alex1610: he means if people just log off and never return without an explanation..

@Alex1610: well I'd think that's little rude not let people they converse with daily know..but that's just me..

You are not getting it Alex. Suppose you used to see a user regularly. There were no signs of trouble on her posts. Then they disappear to nowhere. It's stranger for a friend to do that. It's a basic courtesy to let your online friend know that somehow from tomorrow you change magically and not going to login, ever.

@Primnproper: Well he's not talking about friends, he's talking about people who suddenly stop logging without a goodbye. To me, I think we don't have to tell the public what we're going to do, it isn't necessary

@Alex1610: if their in your friend list and you converse regularly they are friends..

@Primnproper: It says "friend list", but it's actually "people who I added list"

@Alex1610: maybe you're more detached than the rest of us..

@Primnproper: We're strangers, it's the truth. It's not about being attached or detached, even if I do say goodbye and people might notice that, but in the end, nobody really cares

@Alex1610: that is where you're wrong...I'm used to seeing you around here, if I noticed you hadn't been in I'd wonder if you were ok..with us older ones it more of a worry because some of us have health issues..
