I know... I find good bye topics quite,. uh, spammy If they are leaving then what is the point of the topic? they won't be around to see what everyone says, and if they aren't around then they just won't post, If someone expects them to do something then they can PM them. most of the time they are inactive for weeks or months before they post a good bye topic, by then it's pointless... *stops rambling* I agree they should be locked or something but also well respected members who just decided to leave a few hours/days ago should be allowed ot create good bye topics, but aside from that they should be locked.
