The general idea of LoA is great, you post that you're going AFK and let us know when you're leaving, however, most of the time, the forum isn't used in that fashion. Here's what usually happens:
Removal of Leave of Absence forum.
- Players post their leaving the community.
- Ridicules the server or its staff in some way shape or form.
- Never actually leaves, but started a chain reaction of other players agreeing and them also "leaving", but no one actually leaves.
- LoA is now a forum of past drama and past...
