Imao it's kind of stupid for people to be making such a big deal when someone closes their account when they don't even known them in person
I didn't say I had a problem with it I just said I feel it's stupid.

This thread has been dragging on for so long, I forgot what the drama was all about... (which is a good thing, I think...)

"get" or "got"? There's a difference...

I should write "got" as a past tense?

Yes. I assumed that's what you meant. :-)

Yeah, 'got' is the correct word. Is english your native language? No that wasn't an insult, it was a legitimate question
Because I'm assuming you're Australian

Hey, chess.com Community! It's me, the dude who doesn't fit in. (That doesn't matter, I just thought the truth was funny.) Lately, I've been seeing a lot of, "I'm closing my account," and such, and honestly, yeah, it's kinda sad to see people leave, but life goes on. Besides, nine out of ten times, you've never actually met the person who's leaving, and while it's true that you've developed an actual friendship with them (probably, anyway), you don't really know who they are. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm not here to criticize either the closing party or the people who are sad, I'm here to state my mind on the matter, and maybe, just maybe get there to be less drama when someone closes their account.
Why don't we start with the basics? Whenever someone posts a thread saying they're going to close their account, there's a long line of comments saying things like, "NOooooOOoOOoo dOn'T lEavE!" That's fine, you're naturally upset. The problem I have with this is some people reply and say, "There's nothing you can do to stop me. " Okay, buddy. If there's nothing I can do to stop you, then effing close the damn account. Honestly, you really begin to wonder if they even have the balls to close, and then half an hour later they finally make their decision. Like, if you wanna close, post your goodbye, state a reason why, and then close. It's that's simple. You don't have to spark a four-page (about 80ish comments) back and forth because you're not mentally prepared to do it. JUST. EFFING. DO IT!
And then there's the other side of the drama, or rather the drama that makes people close their accounts, like poor @hvenki for example. People couldn't take his sense of humor, so they all just started hating on him, forcing him to close his account out of shame. Sure, he did some stupid stuff, but I wouldn't wish an online 1v585 on my worst enemy.
To end this short little snip-teen rant, I want to say that one, it's okay to want someoen not to close their account, just don't grow overly attached to them, two, don't be a douche, and three, if you're going to close your account, make it snappy but understandable so that people at least have some closure.
My god op you're such a hypocrite, you start off the post saying you don't fit in and say people who do those account closing things do it for attention? YOU make a big post about something that you can easily ignore. I think YOU want attention.
WTF NO??!
I want to bring this to people's attention not nab the attention for myself! Honestly I want the conversation to die down because people are starting to fight.
Like bro I literally said it doesn't matter that I don't fit in and that I said it jsut because I thought it was funny.
If you're going to miss the main idea of something like this you really need to go back to seventh grade and analyze literature to find out what the author is trying to convey.

We really need a "Drama Queen" emoji. Maybe this one:
... or this one:
Discuss.

I'm actually having a hard time deciding.
Tho I think option A would be most appropriate.

I've only met a single person on chess.com and don't really have any friends here. So i don't expect anyone would worry if I closed my account. If I do, I promise not to write a thread about it 😉
A drama queen emoji would be an excellent addition to these forums. Maybe run a competition where people can design one?
