groups

Things come and go. Like they say, "One day, you're in. The next day, you're out."

I've seen a few leave apparently for the attention they got when they rejoined.

I've left some individual groups for various reasons. My activity on Eons has ebbed and flowed, also for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, I haven't bothered to log on for days, just because I wasn't interested and Eons hadn't offered much lately. Oh well....

I've never left a group...they left me.

I've left groups when the interest just wasn't there, or time constraints demanded it. I'm sometimes only here via cell phone and tapping in short responses. Some days more than others. If there comes a time when I need to leave entirely I will do so. Real life is where I live, not Eons (although sometimes my posting volume seems massive. I merely type very fast...

I don't think I will leave, just have more things to do some days, or don't have much to say. Some days something will beg for my retort, some days my wit comes across, other days my replies are inane even to me! If, after I read all my on-line news and some thread is picked up I might join in. Some groups I have dropped because they no longer 'fit'

I have quietly left a few groups because they just didn't interest me the way I thought they would initially. I have never left any group by announcing that I was doing so. People who announce, for whatever reason, that they are leaving a group, or Eons entirely, do so to call attention to themselves.

Even when there was the big broohaha (or however that's spelled) over Eons allowing members under 50, I didn't withdraw my membership. I did go to some alternate sites, including Seniorocity for a while. And I'm still a member of Seniorocity, even though I haven't visited there in months.

My philosophy is, that if you get pissed off at the way a group you belong to either resign from it quietly, PM the group manager about your concerns, or stand up for your beliefs and keep posting. Just don't beat your breast and announce that you're quitting. When all is said and done, you're only hurting yourself, not to mention making an ass of yourself. Nobody really gives a rat's ass -- or if they do, they'll PM you and you can discuss it privately.

Right on, xradioguy. The ones who leave with a big announcement and flounce off are doing so for attention, to get begged to stay, usually. Drama queens and kings. Spare us!

I've left some groups because they just didn't interest me anymore. Too many virtual cups of coffee, inane chatter about nothing -- a virtual waste of time to even read the posts, no interest to reply.

Currently I'm only on as much as I am because I'm out in the sticks and bored. I can see the time coming soon when I won't have the time for even one or two groups, much less the number I peruse and participate in now.

Sorry I don't think some understood question.. I mean those EONs members who you go to their profile & it is no longer there.. They completely quit.. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I just leave quietly...have done it once already...and will probably do it again. Like Rhesus says, it's an ebb and flow kind of thing.

xradioguy...I've never heard of Seniorocity???

BWA,is that the same like a private profile?
i have seen a limited number quit because of life changing happenings in their life.also i wonder if some have to cut back on some finances,i know my cable and cable speed bill has increase @$30 a month in the last couple of years.
