Oh I never really went anywhere, I just was quiet for awhile, laying low. By the way Tony, I LOVE that jacket in your avatar!! The fur trim is great. Neat.
We face the same problem over at CW. The forum has been in existence for six years, now, and there are many good people from the early days who no longer post. Some FOGs there get very upset by this and tell us (moderators and administrators) that it's our fault all these people no longer visit and post. Some blame the newbies to the site, some say it's a "cliquish nature, " some say it's a mods' power trip.MK said:Depends on situation. Some are for a short time, some we are not in a hurry to return, and some are written in stone.
As for missing members, I wonder sometimes too. On occasion I will e-mail someone. If they respond, they say they are just busy with this or that.
Some are even friends I used to break bread with. Those of you who were here in the beginning will remember Rundquist, Chammaro, Sergei and Pretty Big Guy. They used to be here all the time.
This joint is for people's enjoyment. If they no longer get joy here or find something that meets their needs better or simply get too busy...they pull up stakes.
For every one that goes out the door, twenty more come in.

I'm here!! I promise!! I'm still around! As Mike mentioned, I've been in the process of moving into a new apartment, I've been here about a month now, and my internet is all hooked up and set to go, so, no more "excuses", I'll be around! I've also gotten a new job, and am having to get adjusted to some financial changes, which don't leave much room for eBay expenditures. It's also too darn hot to wear any of my hats, I really need a Panama.
Anyway, I came across this thread just today and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy to know I am missed!! Don't worry everyone, I've just been "lurking"! It'll take quite a bit to get rid of me.

I know I shouldn't be inquisitive, but I do wonder about all these suspensions. Not so much as to why they're suspended but the psychology involved that leads to their being suspended. From what I read from 'Fabulous Robert', I gather he was duped by a coworker. Seems legit. Maybe it wasn't. I can't understand how anyone could stumble upon this forum and believe it acceptable to post questionable material - unless one is quite insane. And Joe BagofDonuts? He got 86'ed mightly quickly, didn't he? (Sorry, MK, if this is off-limits, but I really do find it fascinating. )

Ebay should be paying this place a finder's fee.

This is very true, as well.ortega76 said:I have to admit that I'm something of an exile from another retro-themed board. When a group of people leave and are replaced by new members, topic discussions often shift. When those topics aren't interesting to you anymore, you find a place where you do enjoy spending time.
