Why did I cancel my old ID? I wrongly assumed that my job here is done.
Why did I create this ID: to finish off the job that I started.
How long would the job take? Depends on you people. --Please dont do ur job, depend on others thats my request...😊
What is the job? Whatever I am doing now.

Haha, I like your approach a lot! That's about as much concern this whole thing deserves. I wish I could start afresh with that attitude but too bad that ain't happening. *SIGHS* I also like the fact that you're open to change and what you may like today might not have the same appeal tomorrow. I don't understand how some people can hold the same opinion about things and people for years. I'd rather have a flexible mind that is open to change with new inputs than a stagnant one that won't budge no matter what.
Ek simple matter ko itna complicate kyu bana rahi Middy...😃😆

I was talking about the genuineness of your sentiments, not your identity. You don't always have to show what you feel and feel what you show. Firstly, I don't need the entire forum knowing the inner workings of my mind. Secondly, after you end up in a couple of members' hit list, being genuine on open forum is inviting trouble. You let slip a chink in your armor and they're gonna hit you where it hurts the most, pick on it like a vulture until you completely drain out. Better to not let your guard down at all when you know that there are people looking for an opportunity to strike. You know what I'm saying? But you can definitely come clean with those who you consider your friends. At the end, I say it all comes down to your past experiences.
@Sunny: I hope that answers your question too.somewhat yes, Middy. I can understand members not wanting to disclose all their feelings in an open forum. But again faking sentiments or views doesnt serve any purpose, my opinion. IDs are anyway all fake.
As for some people not acknowledging their friend's departure, they might be too duhed to say anything or it might have bothered them so much that they can't even bear to talk about it. Or they mighta been beaten down so much by these "self-bans" in the past that it isn't newsworthy anymore. Or they might still be in touch with that person through other means.Got to agree here. Members usually do bid goodbye and inform their"close" friends who matter to them about their plans of departure and take steps to keep in touch if they care enough. In that case since they are already in touch they wont be lamenting their departure.Or they might indeed not give a damn. Anything is a possibility. If they're choosing to stay mum about it, I would respect their decision instead of misconstruing their silence as not giving a damn or anything else for that matter.Makes practical sense!The only part where we differ is that you believe in "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" policy whereas I believe that what you see is not always what you get.
Yes, Appearnces may deceive 😆
[K] Even if I own a stadium / court / arena, I still need good players to play ball if I want to attract the crowds. That's probably a thinly veiled message that I originally wanted to pass to whom-so-ever-it-may-concern.
I agree with that.[CS] True, but you cant force the players to play against their wishes, even if you want to! 😕

Out of the many reasons cited here for closure of IDs this was something that never occured to me 😆 nor did the one about forgetting the passwords 😆This content was originally posted by: psychoboblehead
Let me talk of my personal acquaintances here.
I don't spam the forum, post sexually explicit content or misbehave and get banned. Distinct, it is my addiction to KSG which makes me loathe him and his lifeless fan girls . After an over worked day or amidst an awfully boring day .. logging on to this website and engaging myself on an e-fight or whatever makes me feel that life is good . When I don't get paid for posting here, why bother about ethics, conduct, conscience and conventions ... likewise establishing an existence here.. when the admins are aware of me changing id's .. what's the big deal ?
I'm someone who is not the same everyday. I may love something today and hate the same tomorrow .. specifically having to do with the insignificant priorities like IF, Facebook, MSN, Chat and etc ... makes me care a damn .. I reckon, its an extremely private affair .. So is the case with members asking for a private ban, which is again a personal choice .. So why bother ?

Before you guys pull out your pepper sprays, let's verify if we are on the same page. Hopefully, you have read all the clarifications I provided so far, leading up to this page.
Ajnu, it's not fair to ascertain with authority, what the reasons could be, for someone to cancel/deactivate their accounts, especially when they are not here to defend themselves. Even if there is one active member who has preferred deactivation, who doesn't fall under the premises you enumerated, it's probably a good idea to explore the reasons that compelled him/her to do so. There are tangible benefits to the forum if such a forensic analysis is carried out, trust me. That was one of the main points of my argument so far.
The rest of what you guys mentioned I am aware and am in the know.
