I've never understood why people have to announce this sort of crap.
Why can't you people drop the "look at me" attention whoring and just leave quietly?

It's so true about the attention whoring. I have left chess sites (including this one) for unusually long periods of time in a fit of anger over some stupid losses or personality clashes, and after awhile I begin secretly hoping that people will miss me sufficiently to beg me to come back and/or get a petition started to get me back. But I know I don't have the celebrity status of GB or VR and never will. I will actually vow to never again log on RHP again but my willpower will weaken over time and I will take a peek at my account and see if I have any new messages sent to me during my absence. If there are some, then I am a happy camper. I feel valued.
