I took a year-long break and didn't make an announcement. Didn't tell anyone anything. I just stopped posting, deleted short links to the forum so I'd have to physically type in the addess if I ever felt like cheating and, in all seriousness, never looked at this place even once for the entire self-exile. No way to check inquiring PM's either. Serious gonzo.
People jumped and their hair turned white when I first posted again.
I found some threads where people had wondered about my health. Maybe a few thought I'd deservedly gone to prison.
From that experience, I'd say if you're cold turkey leaving, maybe PM someone staying alive on the forum and tell them what you're doing so they can answer queries as to your whereabouts. "Yeah, he's fine. He just hates all of you." Something like that.
Dramatic exit threads scream "drama queen" a bit though. Just go away.
My two cents.
