I close goodbye threads because chances are the person has already left by the time you are reading the message, so replying with 'u will b missed' is utterly pointless, seeing as how the author is not around to read it.
Also, the author is just fishing for compliments/getting people to 'beg' him/her to stay. They want an ego boost. It's not only a waste of forum space, but a waste of time.
Introductory threads are fine, except when they become 8 page yammer threads about nothing in particular.
Maybe I'm too 'strict', or maybe I'm the only sensible person here. I rarely close topics, but when I do, it is not for the sheer tummy tickle factor, but for a legit reason.
..But the tummy tickle factor is a nice part of it.
