Title: Missing Members
Post by: Texacon on January 25, 2012, 01:14:56 PM
We've got some people who are scarce.  I just saw Janice in an older topic and realized she hasn't been around.  Just a quick search turned up some folks I haven't seen in a bit;

Janice

Chuck J

Soliel

Any others y'all are missing?

I can't speak for the others, but I just read a post from Janice that is only a day or so old.....

Soliel has a new baby (her second), so I suppose that motherhood is keeping her pretty busy.

DJ stops by once in a while, however, I think that he is a Global Mod over at CU.....likely keeps him busy....

He left because someone here, I forget who, was pissing him off. He tends to do that, I like the guy, but he takes the stuff on the board too seriously.

As for Janice I wouldn't be surprised if she moved to a Ronulan site.  :-)

I saw njpines here recently.  She's probably busy with other things.

Well, just looking through the pages with a quick glance I see;

Janice

Chuck J

Soliel

AllosaursRus

ASDF

bkg (I don't know this one)

djones520

Golem

jendf

megimoo

PatriotGame

ReardenSteel

true_blood

VivisMom

Some of these I know and some I don't but those are folks I recognize the name if only slightly.

KC

I don't think bkg is coming back.  He pretty much went the way of HNC.  And TexasCop.

A couple of those names I haven't seen in years, Jendf and ASDF.
AllosaursRus has popped in a time or 2 lately.
I'm also thinking Vivismom has posted recently too.

Somebody talked bad about CA ... or was it TX .... or was it FL .... or was it etc, etc, etc ...

Unless the sites software is buggy all those names I checked hadn't been here for a month or more.

That sounds about right.

I think some of them are back at Conservative Underground.

Haven't seen HNC around forever either.  That guy was a laugh a minute...in a good way.

HNC was very funny but I lost respect for him when he got all upset about people talking bad about CA.  Sheesh.  It's what we DO!

TX gets ragged on just as hard.

Wonder if he ever saw the light and took off the crocs.   :-)

Janice--I've seen her at our old home

Chuck J--I've seen him log on and come in and read late at night, in the wee hours of the morning; he's been dealing with a lot of things in real life, and one hopes it's going well for him; a great guy

Soliel

AllosaursRus--Another one who's been dealing with a whole platter of things in real life

ASDF--I assume really busy in real life

bkg (I don't know this one)--He sent me some personal messages about six weeks ago but I think he finds other boards more amenable to his tastes; nothing negative, just a matter of taste

djones520--One of the powers at our old home now, and by the way his wife is expecting a second infant soon

Golem

jendf

megimoo--Actually has been here more often than one might suspect.  I dunno what's up, but he uses our "spellchecker" before posting things not here, but at our old home; I think it's funny

PatriotGame--I dunno what's up with him, but I wish I did

ReardenSteel

true_blood--Quit possibly a "burn-out" trying to recharge his batteries; for months and months, he was the most prolific poster here, the highest daily average

VivisMom--She has a history of hanging around a lot, and then not, and then hanging around a lot again, and then not; I assume it's because she has small children

Some of these I know and some I don't but those are folks I recognize the name if only slightly.

With this being an election year, it's reasonable to count on many of these resurfacing again, and we'll be happy to see them.  As a member here, I've had correspondence with most of them in the past, and can't recall anyone ever writing me that they're upset or pissed off, nearly all the time that they've been, or are, busy in real life.

debk is another example; getting adjusted to a new job, odd working hours.

I wish lastparker would show up and tell us what she's been up to.

I've been hanging around message boards since 1996; I have no way of proving it, but it seems to me that conservativecave, out of all of them, has probably the highest retention rate; a pretty damned high retention at any rate.

Again, remember that 2011 was an "off year;" with elections coming this year, we'll probably see most of these members again.

PatriotGame stops in from time to time.

Correction: He hasn't been here since May of last year.

Thanks frank.  I just noticed it had been awhile since I'd seen Janice so I checked on those others.  There were more but I only really looked at those that had close to 1,000 posts and above.

I exchanged a couple of PMs with debk a couple weeks ago. Yeah, she changed jobs (real estate kinda dried up for her) and is working a really goofy shift - I think it's 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.

And there are the family matters to attend to.

Yeah.

This is why I always encourage members to come here at the main forum page (rather than simply going directly to their favorite forum, ignoring all else), and to check the "five latest posts" and the "members on line," to see who's hanging around at the moment.

They might find things of interest outside of their favorite forum here.

I have a specific order everytime I drop in. 

1.  Show new replies to your posts.
2. Show unread posts since last visit. 

And then I just click on topics that look interesting.

Hint, though,

There are links to the same two things at the bottom of the forum page too.

And while scrolling down to that, one can see the "users on line;" who's hanging around.

If one checks the two things, then rather than clicking at the link at the top of the forum page, go down and click on them at the bottom.  This way, you'll at the same time see who's here.

Hey, Texacon! I'm good! I work two jobs now so I don't post much anymore these days. When I do it's at CU. My attention span usually prevents me from posting in more than one place. Goodness knows I've tried! LOL. But it's good to see all the same familiar names. Starting to poke around the political boards more now as the election heats up.

How's life treating you?

Uhm.  It's been really interesting!  LOL  Lots of stress but that's all about to go away.  There's a post in the Sandhills forum that kind of explains it.  I'll be updating that one soon. 

Glad you're still around!

No sweat darlin'.  It's really more of a blessing to me as it will really free me up to do some other stuff I've been wanting to do.  The shit is going to hit the fan come April 1st when the new guy takes over.

You like arguing with the boys in the CU sports section. We know.  :whistling:
