This is probably not the place to put this, but this forum is where most of the people that I know and that know me.....hang out.
As many of you know, I have been giving a lot of consideration to leaving Lush, recently, as I have been having a tremendous problem justifying my time here. I had pretty much decided to leave right after Labor Day, as that would coincide with me starting my job after completing my MBA. However, after much cajoling by some people, I am reconsidering. For this thread, please just let me know whether you would like for me to stay, like for me to go, or dont have an opinion one way or the other. Please be honest, as you wont hurt my feelings, no matter what you post. One of my reasons for leaving, is that after I left, that I wouldn't really be missed anyway, except by those few people that I chatted with extensively.
Thanks for taking the time to respond and will let those of you that posted an opinion, my final decision.

Stick around, Becky. Life shouldn't all be auditing and business process improvement.
Since I'm your cajoler-in-chief, ya gotta stay because I SAID so! lol
I think you need to stay Becky as we would miss your forum posts. But at the end of the day it is your choice as to weather you stay or go. If you do decide to leave know will hold it against you as it was your decision to go. But if you decide to stay we will all still back your decision what ever you decide to do
I'd be sorry to see you go Becky. Sorry also that I didn't chat more.
93 views and only 8 replies, two of which really turned in to be more self-serving that an opinion on my staying. This only re-enforces my thought that when people leave Lush, no matter how popular, they are soon forgotten. People just dont seem to really care about forging real friendships here.
I saw your views vs. comments statistics and its close to other thread activity. So do not be alarmed. Yes it would be nice having you stay here and I have noted that prior. But if it's a work distraction then it's not good.
This is not the first time you have considered leaving.
You know my opinion - as a deleted 'friend'.
If you have any doubts leave. Obviously with the views and comments a lot of people dont care. You can always return after you have decided you miss us or ?????
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
I say go.
Personally, I don't care much one way or the other. I've hardly ever talked to you in the forums, though I've seen your name around enough to believe you're a regular. But if you feel like a site is taking up to much of your time or energy or whatever, and you have to ask whether you should cut it out of your life, then you should probably cut it out of your life. LS will go on without you, and you'll probably go on fine without it, too. But if you feel like you miss it, and want to come back, well, you know what the URL is. I doubt it's going anywhere. In the meantime, go on and explore whatever it is that this site is distracting you from.
Don't believe everything that you read.
As someone who frequently debates leaving Lush (and probably would were it not for being a writer as well as forum poster), I can only say that this is one of the funnest (is that a word) forums I have been on, even leaving aside the writing aspect. Outside of Think Tank, I find that there really aren't too many serious shitstorms on here like I see elsewhere. I love dropping in here when my other regular forum gets too crazy because I know I can enjoy some forum games, sexy talk, and a beer at Rump's. I've contemplated leaving that forum for here, too, but can't since I can't be open about my involvement here for various reasons.
So, if you feel you need to go, I'd say go and see how it feels to be away for a while. But it might not hurt to keep your account live (or just deactivate instead of deleting) just in case you need a fix of sex, joy, and sanity from time to time. I've tried leaving and always seem to end up back.
This is one of the funniest posts I've seen on lush.
I try to keep things simple ... some have asked, "What do you have to lose by staying?"..... I prefer to think of any site, like LUSH, more in the perspective of, "What do I have to GAIN by staying?" Now, I come in here to satisfy my "dirty little secrets" desires ... and enjoy the stories and the photos. I just try to keep it there ... whether I gain or not gain any new friendships, that's ok.. since I prefer to NOT put that pressure on any other person or myself.
Does anyone know if you leave or stay.... I agree with others... they really do not notice since there is another to fill that void. Many times I have made my account inactive ... then when life gets boring, I reactivate it... again.
Best wishes no matter what you choose, Becky!!
I try to keep it simple and to the point. I am here to write and perhaps chat with authors. I don't give a hoot about old farts wanking or playing hop-scotch rodeo with non thinkers. I think Lush is a great for writing, but the players and politicians give me the rash.
Stay if you're enjoying it. Leave if you're bored with it. It's all up to you confused cunt lol
I like the way you make me feel even when I'm nowhere near...
It's truly your decision. Leave your account up and if you want to visit from time to time...do so. If not...it's always here for you.
I find it's good to take breaks. I used to chat here but don't do that much anymore and only focus on my writing.
I spend nominal time here. If you have to question yourself, it's best to leave for a bit.
Best of luck,

Actually, didn't FieryRedhead post this exact same question in the past?
