Top Ten Reasons Why TheTopTens Users Retire

1. They get sick of TheTopTens

   This is the only reason that would even put me close to leaving, but even then, it would probably only be a temporary thing.

   I am noticing that the most common reason why users retire is because of losing intererest in this site. This is something that cannot be prevented (I think)

   I retired because I finally got out of the phase thinking that I was "edgy." (Edgy actually means nervous or anxious I think, so stop using it for being cool.) Also JB is given WAY too much attention here. Higher than Musolini on "Top Ten Worst People in the World" (I think, I'm not bothered to check. You get the idea, anyway.)

2. Mean users

   Some of them are mean, and they still are nice compared to the people at my school who just randomly pick one person to bash. These people just bash the controversial users, and not let them have second chances.

   THat's one reason why I was about to leave my account. I was acting like a butthead sometimes. Now I'm trying to become nicer.

   I don't care if anybody's mean to me, if they're mean to me than who cares. People are people.

3. People obsess over something

   I hate the whole Bieber hate obsession, but it's not enough to get me to retire.

   I'm looking at you, people who complain that Justin Bieber is on every list.

   I'm looking at you, person who keeps adding Justin Beiber to every list...

4. College

   Welp, I'm still pretty far from college, and if I get into a good enough university, I might retire. :/ This is a rreally good website, though(not counting the part where there's some mean people)!

   When I go to college, I will probably have less activity, but will still be on here.

   Hate to say it, but when I get to college, I'll probably post sparingly, and once I get a job and children and a more demanding life, I'd probably retire or just slowly drift away from TheTopTens

5. They ran out of list ideas

   Yeah, that happens in life, you run out of ideas. But sometimes, we find something and explore more about it, and we could get enough information to make it as a list.

   I've actually considered retiring several times because of this.

6. Some of my favorite users retired

   I would still stay if my favorite users quit but it might not be the same because a lot of the times I message my favorite users but it is still not a reason to quit.

7. Repetitive list types

8. Too much work

9. Haters

10. They get criticized

The Newcomers
11. ?

    They are annoyed by Justin Bieber being added to every worst list and him being compared to dangerous criminals

12. ?

    Because they are contented enough with their life to let go

The Contenders

13. Bullies

    This is just me, but I'm immune to bullies, both in real life and on TheTopTens. They're more annoying than mean on TheTopTens, anyway.

14. They are not popular

    On other sites, Popularity doesn't matter. On this site, all people care about is popularity. They treat users such as PositronWildhawk and Britgirl like Gods and Goddesses, and unknown users like CrimsonShark, SammySpore, and OhioStateBuckeyes like filthy peasants and slaves. Even worse, is that if you mess up, like Danteem, Gamecubesarecool193, SelfDestruct, and I did, then you're going to be treated worse than Justin Bieber, but treated like a demonic criminal.

    I've been on this site for about a year now and people still don't know about my existence. I could literally delete this account and literally nobody would care.

15. So I can move on with my life

    This is the exact reason why I'll retire at a time. Moving on with my life is more important than this site. Just need to do it at a time.

16. Not in the top 100 most followed users at the stats

    Why do people even care for 100 followers? It's just a bunch of people clicking to follow you.

    I'm not even in the top 300 and I don't give a care! I just do what I love on this site!

17. Their account got suspended

18. Die hard fans

19. They don't like TheTopTens

    I think this is the most logical reason on the list because after a while that initial interest starts to wane. There are still good lists that get made on occasion but generally speaking creative burnout and disinterest do become prevalent after a while. Combine that with the moderation which can be hit or miss, it doesn't surprise me honestly. Nor does it surprise anyone else for that matter.

20. They get bored quickly

    I think this is it most of the time. I quit this site once because I got bored of it and then I came back like 2 years after (because I was bored and decided to come on this site to waste time) and now I'm still here but, definitely not one of the most active members

    Yup. This is true for most cases.

21. They think that the site is getting old

22. No quality posts

23. No one votes on their lists

24. TheTopTens is full of kids who think they're mature

    The whole rustler group act like some sort of league of extraordinary gentlemen, yet they not only act the exact opposite, but actually make others act the exact opposite. it's a no-win scenario if you get into conflict with them because they take advantage of people getting mad all the time, then they cause retirement, hiatus, or potentially even driving to suicide.

25. Trolls

26. They're being cyberbullied

    Then turn off the computer or ignore them.

    That's another reason why I was going to leave.

27. Barely Anyone Respects Opinions
