It can be annoying, yeah. Since no one said it I will say it, just because you may not care, some people do care. It's a nice way to be publicly informed that you're leaving and the forums are a good way to show lots of people at once. You can't really complain about it being a "bandwagon" or "they are following" because this has been happening since the beginning way before Atakka posted his leaving post, some people find it nice to list reasons they left and sometimes it helps improves things, and sometimes people just want to give their final regards and messages to the people they have enjoyed their time with on the server before leaving. You can't really be mad, it's a forum and mass messages will always be a thing JUST like they are happening on this post now, you have to sift through them it literally gives a notification for every message and you are sharing this server with many countless other people, so expect it to be filled. ALSO, there are general, offtopic, artistic, introductions, technical support, etc forum buttons for a reason on the "home" button in the top left corner, If you're worried that you won't see if something of yours was accepted/denied well that's what the notification button is for in the top right-hand corner to see if someone commented on one of your posts or a post you commented on, etc. Learn to navigate the forums a bit better that could help, honestly. Just helpful tips.
