Have we lost some members?

[the gypsy]

I was reading some posts and I must admit that I started to think about Gregtwojeeps, Kevin and Tampag and thinking that I haven't seen any posts or responses in awhile. Does the forum have a place where we can see if someone passed or not. I know it is a morbid thought but like it or not death gets the best of us.

So does anybody have any ideas if these members are busy or otherwise?

I haven't seen Solid Lifters in forever, his profile says he hasn't been her sine January. Hope that diet of his didn't do him in.

 

[the gypsy]

OR have they withdrawn from posting?

 

[Richard Cranium]

you can go to community and look up member by their names. Then click on that name and you will see their profile and it will tell you when the member last was on G.J. Also it will tell you if they have been banned by the mods.

It's pretty normal for members to move on to other interests. And as we know sometimes life just gets in the way and requires our interests to be directed in another direction.

Tampa's probably in jail on some obsentity violation

 

[Lassen Forge]

Going by his avatar (and his gawdawful high post count), my guess is Kevin finally wore out his keyboard, and the S/O Heavy Duty professional model replacement won't show up until the took truck stops by early next week...

That happened to me on another forum - someone was sure I was doing time for some "Moral Turpitude" violation - when I showed back up I damned near gave them all a heart attack...

Yeah, I kinda miss his posts too.
He used to post several times per day and I see that he has been quiet for more than 3 months.

 

[Nick Danger]

Kevin is still here. Teken just showed up again.

 

[bczygan]

I wish all the old timers, that were here when I first got here, were back and posting like they did. It's what attracted me to the forum in the first place.

Miss them.

They were abducted by aliens and are being probed in various orifices (Tampa's enjoying it). They need your prayers.

I must be doing something wrong when I PM members. Because I did PM the members I was asking about but I don't see any sent messages listed. So far only Tampa is still MIA.

I'm wondering if some of the people are on a moderator initiated holiday?

Only aware of a couple of those at present and they are not regular posters.

E-Tek has been awol for a very long time with no posts or updates.

I end up banned on a lot of forums, and I'm surprised nobody has had a crack at me here yet, given my criticisms of the rules.

I have to censor the hell out of myself here, and not just language. It's very frustrating, and I wonder if some people run off because they'd just like more open discussion.

There's only so much "show your (insert item here), tool moochers when you have a garage, this brand versus that, why Sears is falling apart..." that people can take before they lose interest.

There I go again...

A few of us were discussing this last night over beers, all save for one wished the chit-chatty losers on here would STFU, get some real friends, and focus more on things at least semi-relevent. I dont think anybody minds the folks asking advice about their house, finances, or life otherwise or showing off projects or cool pics but the constant one-liners, dirty comments, and pointless threads about someone's post count, disappearance, or otherwise are annoying as hell.
