I have noticed on sites you tend to have a core of regular posters which grows slowly but steadily over time, occasional posters and transient members .
I can see it happening a lot with closed fora but my interest/curiosity relates to an open one such as this where everything is accessible.

Re: old members

I haven't posted for several months, because there were too many other demands on my time. But I'm dipping in again now.

Some sites do have a "time-out" system which restricts or prevents access if you haven't posted for x months. But I think the flexibility of being able to come and go is important.

Re: old members

It's sad when regulars just disappear. We know Dinahsmum is busy with the grandbaby, but where is Nero? Nuttygran said she'd be off for a while .... ages ago!! Suey rarely posts much now, or Anna. Rockrider? Fridge Magnet was going to Scotland, does he have no Internet there? You do wonder .....

I wonder about those too, I assumed FM would be posting from Scotland. Another person is Manxman, he was undergoing treatment and do wonder how he is.
