I left once. I was really noobish and stupid, I could tell people were getting tired of my posts. I hadn't had much interest in it anyway, but I came back. And haven't left again since. And I don't plan on leaving again any time soon.

Yea I planned to leave a few times, the first one was pretty much because people had not noticed me (and because i had the weirdest user name ever). That was my fault for not saying that I am actually here, but still, i sometimes feel lonely because people don't take notice of me, and a few people do talk to me, but when people visit my profile, even an simple "hi how are you" would be good; sometimes i think they are just there to see the chaser video, and there is nothing wrong with that. Also I know there are people in this community just like me that are quiet and just browse around the forum, please spread the word of your existence!

I would also like to take this opportunity to say sorry to people who i may have offended by me saying things I would not normally say... Currently I am trying my hardest at breaking this stupidity that has been moulded into me by my real life friends, but it is something I am aiming for.

So yea... again all those who have been offended by something I have posted on the forums or said on the IRC, I am taking this opportunity to say sorry for anything offensive and stupid I have said, but of coarse some of you do need to improve a bit.

owning up to my mistakes- COMPLETE

My situation is similar to Moose's.
All I used to do was look at the Rom-Hacking section... but lately, I've decided that I would like to be a more active member and really get the most out of PC!

Back to the topic: Have I ever wanted to leave PC? No, not really. I haven't officially "left" PokéCommunity before, but last year was the worst year of school I have had in a while, so I wasn't really able to get on the Community as much as I would have wanted to. Do I plan on leaving in the future? Well, probably not. I'm mostly looked-over here. I have a few friends I keep in contact with, but other than that... I basically just stalk the forums. Yes, I do read every single post in every forum I read. :knockedou

I did leave PC at one point, out of frustration because I felt I didn't fit in with the community, back in April/May of 2007. I came back in January of 2008. However, when I came back, there were times I felt like leaving again, just because I didn't feel I fit in once again, however, that's all subsided now and I don't plan on leaving any time soon.

The idea has certainly crossed my mind a couple of times, and I'm sure I've told myself I would leave one day, but that never happened. I don't really like the idea of leaving the forums, if I need time away, I just take that time and try not to make a big deal out of it. The only thing I've done that's remotely close to leaving was when I quite my position as Staff Admin last year, and that really killed my activity for the longest time. I think I would only leave this place if all of my friends left as well, then I'd have no real reason to stick around, I'm sure I would find myself still lurking every now and then though.

I left PC once with two of my friends to support a cause that I now would sincerely oppose.

It was a long time ago, and I was but a young, stupid child. I only regret saying the things I said and hurting the people I hurt.

I came back shortly after, and sporadically pop up on here for the lulz, most of the time lurking online but never posting.

I don't really have a reason to be here. All my friends are gone, and no one knows who I am except Steven. I had no 4 year anniversary thread and I wasn't surprised or hurt. lulz

I'm here to annoy you guys, basically.

Nah, I could never leave this forum. I don't think I've ever really thought about leaving it, although there was a day about three months ago that I found out something about this forum that made me think about leaving. But leaving gets you nowhere, if you ever want to make an impact or to have fun, abandoning the scenario is not the way to do it. There are too many reasons for me to stay, as well. The forum itself is amazing, the friends I have on it and communicate with on a daily basis are seriously cool and the history that I've been trying to find out about, well, there's still a lot more to find out.

Anyone who leaves is either looking for attention or has a proper reason to leave. The latter is a rare occurence, sadly.

Yea i did think about it.
Well...
Back in march i was getting bored..
I was very new to D/P wifi battling since i was focusing on completing the game.
I didn't train and i just jumped into battles so i left to complete the PokeDex and to ev train my pokemon.
I left for 2 weeks and came back.I didn't think that i left for 2 weeks it seemed longer.
Now i'm glued to PokeCommunity and i don't plan to leave again.

I actually did leave PC when I was a younger member.

I got fed up with all the "ur gonna be banned" (I was a SPAM-O-HOLIC when I started here),
so I left and went to neopets.

I came back, and I wouldn't dream of leaveing EVUR.

I have actually considered it because i was on here every day and because of that, my social life(not that i have one) and health suffered.
so i tried to fix my weak spots by leaving the community but this site just held me like a magnet.
but i did help me social life and health by taking short breaks and eating apples outside.
now i am not considering it but i probably will sometime later. Only time can tell.

It's crossed my mind, as hard as it seems. When school flared up I thought about leaving, it has to cross your mind when life starts to hammer you. (Well, it did for me) So, yes, I have thought about leaving PC in one small moment. However, how in the heck could I ever leave? I'm having some priceless moments and a ton of fun. I'm not going anywhere. The only reason I could ever leave is personal issues only my close friends would know I encounter, but that won't happen. :D And besides, I'm in too deep of a hole to leave... if I left, it would hurt. ;/ But I'd rather not go on about this topic anywho, because I'm here to stay. <3

I strongly agree with this by the way. Simply took the words straight out of my mouth.

I sort of have left. I'm in a state of coming and going, where I'm not officially here nor have I left, I'm just here when I feel like it, which could be everyday, but is usually every few months. In recent weeks my activity has been regular, but is already declining once again.

There was a time a month or two ago, where I was thinking of leaving. I just took weeks away from PC.
I mainly hang around the rom hacking section and I got sick of pointless and annoying stupid PM's from new hackers. I eventually got sick of looking at the constant stupidity and just stopped coming to PC as frequently as I normally do.
But then I found that time away helps, and I returned, and leaving hasn't crossed my mind since then.
Gone.
