Similar to deleting your LiveJournal, quitting IRC forever is generally an attention-getting ploy. People who regularly use IRC are more likely to gouge out their own eyeballs with a rusty spoon than to quit IRC for more than a week. The real world equivalent is quitting IRL forever
Netadmins literally "take their ball and go home," as they shut down their IRC servers when they quit "IRC FOREVER". cj_ used this tactic for idlenet when sisko called him a "douche".
[edit] Actually quitting IRC forever
Some irc'ers decide to quietly slink fom the IRC spotlight after mass ruinage or making a complete fgt of themselves. One example of this is CadnoCat, who quit IRC after threatening to sue, kill and imprison Hoveround over accused "identity theft", then had his ass handed to him on channel by Zionistacat and Chimi. Recently, ajt has quit IRC forever due to Sherrod hating on him for banning everyone and making lulz.
[edit] Quitting IRC by suicide
Yet another MySpace user from Australia has managed to beat the system and become an hero.
