To wonder why people post on Flouncers Corner?

[jessjessjess]

If you don't want to go on MN, can't you just stop going on MN? Why post about it - unless you want people to beg you to stay?

I don't get it.

[AmazingBouncingFerret]

MN as a whole is a histrionics topic.

[BarredfromhavingStella]

I did not know that this existed Thanks for bringing to my attention

[GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan]

Aww, I feel sorry for people who post measured and sweet threads in flouncers corner and get about 4 replies.

I think most people use it in a nice way.

It would be great to have more 'piss off you sad, fat lot' type farewells in there.

flouncers corner is fab! i love the fact the it's blatently attention seeking and kind of sweet that people post on there when they find the need to flounce

not everyone can like all of mn can they, live and let live i say

too many people complain on here, maybe they need something other than mn to fill their time

[GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan]

I would never post a goodbye thread as I would expect the reposnse (if i got one) would be a mix of 'fuck off, then' and 'who?'

[SuePurblyFeltYourPresents]

YY Gerrof.

Unless I could do a Flora Poste and say something like 'don't forget to feed the parrot', to drive everyone mad.
Well, I say everyone. I mean the four posters who would see it

[OverlyYappyAlways]

Eh? WTF ?

you staying or going?

[Hassled]

If I decided that enough's enough, time to quit MN, I think I probably would do a "so long and thanks for all the fish" thread, in a symbolic closing of the door sort of way - I mean more for my own sake than for the offchance that someone would think "I wonder what happened to Hassled?" and search Flouncer's Corner.

But I think the reality is that people post less and less often until eventually they just stop. Most people leave over a period of time rather than cold turkey.

[GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan]

I think you;re right hassled. I think people have a peak on MN and then just drift off.

The dog is staring at the cat.
The cat is staring at a seal.
I'm ignoring them.
This is a metaphor.

[RandallPinkFloyd]

I would never have the balls to flounce.

The tumble weed ones make me want to weep. Imagine not even being told to fuck off. Just horrible eerie silence and never knowing if nobody saw or if loads of people saw but just had no I'd who you were.

Wearing a pair of shame induced side-bollocks is one thing but imagine having to name change to avoid the embarrassment of a load of lurkers saying "didn't you flounce last week? Yeah, no one cared".

Be honest though, wouldn't we all love a thread full of ego boosting?

[GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan]

I know randall, that is how I feel. The tumbleweed ones make me feel really sad, like teddy bears in charity shops.

GetOrf we (well DD) adopted a baby at the end of out holiday this year. It had been sat on a wall, forlornly, all week.
She's now shoved head first in the toy box but much happier than when on her wall.

Didn't start this in response to anyone in particular. Just newish to MN and wondered what it was all about.
