Can one really leave a "community" if many of the community are also connected by other means - Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LiveJournal, linked-in, Bright kite, yahoo, AIM, etc.
I believe Alex and others have said the same thing, but I I think these are two different things:
  1. YAGE-ing (the act act of making a flamboyant exit for the purpose of being an attention whore)
  2. disconnecting socially

One can still YAGE quite successfully, but it takes a true effort to disconnect completely



And for those who don't know, YAGE is an acronym for Yet Another Grand Exit.

Yes, but YAGE carries the image of being at a party, throwing your hands up in exasperation, declaring your contempt, and storming out of the room in a huff. And then no one sees you until you, and everyone, calms down and you come skulking back in the room.

Now if you try that, you're throwing your your hands up in exasperation, declaring your contempt, and...storming to another corner of the room where there are still some people, and you kinda grumble to yourself and them, then you kinda talk to those people while the party is still going on, you just don't go to the dance floor for a while. It's just not the same.

Thanks, Kevy. I'm acronym-impaired.
