This just brings me back to...
You don't need to inform us.
People really only turn their heads when someone leaves if its a well known user, platinum user who's been here since the dawn of time or if...well I don't know.
Users below 6k don't get the reaction they hope for when they post a forum like this.
This game shouldn't be your life, leave every now and then.
Basically the reason I stopped building.
It shouldn't be the first thing I do every morning and the last thing I do at night.
Its a video game. If you want to take a break or leave, do so without saying anything.
Check the site every now and then, reply to any comments.
Sorry for the long comment, I just think these "im leaving" posts are really stupid.
I only posted when I left for a month because I'm considered a somewhat well known user.

NOOOOOOO, but reasonable
just take care, do what you have to, the game will be here when you return.
