if that was who you were specifically looking for @goldensrbest , over the past week or so several people have said she is still here with a different nickname. i guess there is some reason?

It is impossible to know and keep up with everyone...much as one might try. Some names will be more familiar simply because they post more. Some just frequent   a very few subjects and some frequent a lot.

That makes a big difference in who you know and don't know or what names are going to be familiar to you.

I wouldn't expect anyone to miss me if I stopped looking at these forums. It's not like we know each other or are acquantances-friends.  

There are some posters that I really enjoy.

 

There are only a few that I try to avoid because they are all snark all the time. 

 

But that's life.

In the past, I have seen posters announce their exit and they were jumped on.  Rude posters told them no need to announce, just go.

 

So now I think many just go and don't say goodbye. Some posters are too sick to post or they have passed.

 

Some are just fed up with the rudeness or they don't feel respected if someone disagrees with them.

 

A few leave in a huff to never return.  I suspect there are many reasons posters just stop.


I have to agree with a lot of this....I will add my thoughts....

 

In addition to above, this forum is a lot smaller than it was years ago.  When the Q revamped the boards about fifteen or so years ago many left never to return. Back then there were so many more participating and threads would move at lightening speed. Some were quite controversial....say what you will about the controversial ones, good or bad but it did keep things interesting.

 

Today the topics are restricted so there isn't as much interest as in the past.

Hi @goldensrbest  Woman Happy

 

Great Thread.

 

I've been here since the beginning, on the old Board even,  on & off.   It's just that Real Life steals me away.

@goldensrbest You posted on those threads. You doubted the name change when it was pointed and also started questioning why she would change her name.

 

It's her business. You are just pushing the envelope again about her.

 

Let it go. You are not making any sense now.

I agree, why all the concern if someone changes name or stops posting for awhile?

A lot of us having been posting on here for years with @SilleeMee .  I don't see anything odd about wondering what happened to a poster that used to post daily for years.

@goldensrbest  We just had a discussion about missing posters on the thread initially dedicated to ECBG.

 

Who are you looking for specifically?

 


Imo this thread is a cya thread for the recent "Why didn't anyone ask about me being gone for X amount of time" thread (paraphrased).

 

When I first read it I thought how odd since I had never seen the op asking about other missing posters. Personally, I post very sporadically & she's never asked about me, lol. Should I be hurt?

 

 Now suddenly it's the very vague "missing posters" but with no identifiable names. Coincidence? Smiley Very Happy

QVC has changed and, more to the point, these boards have changed many times over.  Neither for the better, in my opinion. We have also changed. People have left and minimize posting for a variety of reasons related to all three factors, among others.
