I know of at least one Wandering dupe (which posted before Wandering forum suicided). If the dupe starts posting again, I'm going to call bullshit on his forum suicide.
As for rat, this isn't his first forum suicide, nor was it the funniest.
As for people who announce they're leaving, they're morons (yeah, I know, I did it, big deal). I did it for political reasons and it got a new forum as well. It was worth it even if people think of me as a hypocrite.
I respect those who fade to black (with good reason). Hell, I'm basically a lurker these days aside from an occasional troll post. When people start asking where you've gone - that's when you know you were memorable.
Anything else is just self-gratification...
