Normally, when someone "leaves", it means they won't be back for awhile. From what I saw, you have been away for less than 24 hours and now you're back.
O.o many of the people who say they are leaving are still lurking about, firekame included... I don't see that big of a deal about them still being here, however, I agree with Tux's cruel comments about just doing it instead of making a big deal about it...
However, everyone is always welcome here... even if they state they are leaving or what not. On another note, SP did say he'd be dropping by from time to time... so what if it's within 24 hours?
Firekame, for some odd reason, I don't think will stay away for long. And look at shmeeps comment: "So, I have to leave staredit, no matter how much I don't want to. And I really don't want to. I always wanted to see this site and community grow, and hopefully I'll be able to. I'll still pop in from time to time to help out where ever I can." That's like a crack head saying they'll stay away from crack... rarely happens... Although I might be wrong

I also believe Yoshi will still be lurking around... this site is his baby, he wouldn't just totally leave it behind and move on, so does that really make him gone? I'm betting, after a little break and a realization that reality is the suxx0rs, yoshi will be back... Like coko stated, I know things you don't
