If you are going to leave at least make it believable. I can't help but think this topic was just made to get attention. (You even implied it in the post)
You hide your online status right after you made this topic and I still see you lurking here
The only thing hiding your online status does is prevent regular users seeing what topics you are viewing. We can still see you are online thanks to the main page.
I even see Spirit do this even after she claimed she left you can't stay away from Fiesta Fan its like a drug you leave but you always come crawling back.
