A simple suggestion - I'd like to see a designated forum for all "I'm leaving" and "I'm back" threads.

I really dislike seeing these threads constantly. In fact I can't stand them, if they were given their own forum, they'd stop cluttering Off Topic and would be easier avoided, as well as easier seen.

off topic is full of the stuff we don't want to see. Infat the only GOOD stuff in off topic 90% of the time is the "I'm leaving" or "I'm back" or "I'll be back soon" on that forum. I'd love to see a forum dedicated to these things simply because I hate sifting through crap in off topic to find out where a great player has gone!

I'll admit, I agree more with Naga than with Kotenku, but I do support the suggestion. I oftentimes wouldn't mind if you could turn off the New Posts feature for the off-topic forum alone. :)
