I don't understand why people have to post and tell everyone that they're leaving anyway. Maybe it'll be made evident when, you know you're not around anymore? If your main concern is that people will forget you or not notice that you're gone, then you might have some other issues. Just fucking tell your regiment and say a quick goodbye for Christ's sake. 99% of people could not care less that you're leaving.
If I were actually leaving the community I'd just stop posting here and delete everyone from NW aside from a few of my closer friends from steam. Why does it have to be a big self-induced fanfare?
