Ok, I don't know if it's normal for people to post when they might be gone for a few weeks or a month, but to me it is seeming a bit wierd I want all your opinion on it. Personally I have disapeared from communities for months without saying anything or being very little active, cause if im very little active it shows by lack of posts or being on server, and every time I decide not to play the game for like two weeks ( which has happened an unbelievable amount of ties for this game ) I don't want to have to spam about me being away. Of course then again other people don't go rapidly in active and active as I do I guess, Im just chucking two cents into the air.

As an answer to the entire subject, well, I'm going to have to blow the emo whistle on that one.

I'm with tarpy on this one. When you are likely to be inactive for a while or even leave permanently, you will tell the people that matter to you. I don't understand why some people seem to feel the need to announce this to the world when most members won't even have a clue who they are.

It's just attention seeking to me.

Now I'm here, now I'm not. The people who would be interested in a post by me I talk to often enough whether I'm around here or not.

if u leave then the 'good bye' post is ok imo.
i dont think afk posts are good idea though, it would be better if ppl could just change their status or something.

For that matter, I can only think of a few individuals that the Academy needs in order to function, and that would be DJ_Sith (the webmaster), or Huxley (our server provider). Just take a look at how active they are, and you will see exatly how crucial thier participation in the community is: Not very. We can survive without them for a couple weeks without the universe ending or anything. In fact, I applaude the fact that DJ has not cared more for this place than the rest of his responsibilities. He has been purpousfly inactive as of late, due to a rather insane work schedule, and needed some time off. Did he put up one of those posts saying 'Hey, I'm going to be inactive now!'? No. Neither should you. The JA is something you do with your free time. You hold no obligation to fill us in on every nuance of your life. Nor do you hold any obligation to be here for a set amount of time every day.

I personally don't see anything wrong with people making posts telling everyone if they are having issues in real life that need to be attended to, as well as anything else they may feel the need to take a break for of course. It stops me from thinking that someone just went inactive and gives me an idea as to when I'll see them around. It's nice to know what's up with someone than just watching them mysteriously disappear. :D

Also, if it's a pretty upsetting issue that someone has to attend to, it's great to have people's support towards it. It's usually a good thing to cheer you up at those hard times. :)
