Why is it that every week, someone or other says they're retiring, talks about all there good times on funkypool, says an emotional farewell 2 everyone they know and then...THEY DON'T GO! The last 'retirer' even said they'd stay if 'ppl post that they want me to stay' This is all schoolyard attention seeking, ain it? STOP RETIRING IT'S BORING!!

lol spot on, how some people go off you would think its their life long hard worked career instead of a game

sounds to me like you need to relax and not take what people post so seriously i mean really

I agree texan, retiring from an online game is...ummm..ermmm...pathetic. and thinkin ppl care aswell.

True texan!!! Why did his post annoy you jennyfer? You wouldn't happen to be one of these serial retirers, would you? You need to relax and not take what ppl post so seriously. Oh and I'm retiring (sob, sob), I want to say a big thank you to everyone who doesn't know me, and all you great friends who I've never met and spoken about two words to. Sob sob - please beg me to stay I love you all!!!!

as a matter of fact no im not but people do have the right to be who they are without all this crying about it if they want to put on a big boohoo im leaving then who are you or texan to stop them

sounds to me like you need to relax and not take what people post so seriously i mean really. You said it.

And no-one is stopping them - I love their posting. Its like listening to an oscar speech every day. Keep it up retirers!

cant wait to hear yours

lol

why post on the forum they are leaving , at most tell ur friends ur going but not just spam the forum

im not saying i want to hear about it either but its suppose to be an open forum is'nt it which means they have the right to post what they want as long as its not abusive or ofensive

So do we. What's offensive or abusive about mentioning retirers? There's an epidemic of attention seekers at the moment, and just as they hac=ve the right to do it, we have the right to comment on it. It's YOU who's trying to cap ppl's views.

theres a big differance between voicing your oppion and whyning and im not trying to cap anyones views, write what you want and let others do the same, and if you paid attention to what you read you'd relize that i never said metioning retirers offennsive or abusive i said let people write what they want as long as it is'nt offensive or abusive

Whats up jennyfer? Why u getting so stressed about this. We're all entitled to our opinions - and reading above - martin HAS been reading ur texts - and found you to be hipocritical. You tell us all that we shud relax, and shud let ppl post wot they want -but we're all laughing and ur arguing, while u r the one telling us all what we shouldn and shouldn't say and getting het-up!! This thread was simply pointing out that we have a load of ppl going OTT bout leaving - and then NOT leaving. It's f-u-n-n-y. Nobody's saying they shouldn't do it. And u shud stop telling us we shouldn't have a view on it. Stop saying the same things over and over - u've had your say, and so should everyone else

well like you say texan enough said i have games to play and my retirement speach to plan out

Let them have their fun.

andyx obviously didnt read this ... and didnt he retire about a month ago ??

texan_cecil is right though. They are just attention seeking. People post on the forums that they are retireing because they want other players to say to them;

"Please stay, you're good." or "The game wont be the same without you."

And they end up staying no matter what response they get. Just play pool people.
