Whoops - they are gone!

sometimes people come and go, sometimes its by choice, sometimes its not by choice, but a lot of times people who get banned or suspended come back, most learn from their mistakes some don't, and some don't last long.

Some get burned out, take breaks, and then come back, and well others just leave for whatever reasons,

I think that in the year that I have been active here, but there are a few people that I do miss, and I know have been banned and won't come back.

Mooch

Maybe they're taking a break due to mylot burnout? I did see someone posted that discussion & said she wanted to take a break for about 2 weeks?

pillusch, you are a poster of my own heart; I too have been a Mylotter for a long time but only post now and again. I have noticed that some posters drop off the radar occasionally but never gave much thought to it, You've provoked my thoughts you little dickens! I will be wondering for days to come.

If on their profiles is says 'not active in the last 60 days' you can bet it's not through any choice of their own.
I have sevral 'missing' but I know some are here not using the username we were familiar with. If they get 'booted' and then return and they were my 'real' friends and we had built up a 'feeling' I usually recognise them again even if they are using a new name. That has happened on several occasions too when I check out their website through their profile and recognise it as one I had seen before.
I also have the emails of some of the friends I've found on here and if it were to happen to me again then I would be able to contact them elsewhere if I found the doors closed here.
Some moved over to that 'other' site - but i bet anything they will be back
Anyone in particular that you are noticing is no longer here?

Hullo Pillusch!! Wow, I had no idea that you'd been here a year. Wonder why I didn't see you....

Anyway, I really haven't seen much of what you're speaking of here. My particular group of friends just stays. Like me. I think that we end up getting so involved in each other's lives, caring so much for each other, that we simply have to stay to keep up with each other. Plus, we have so much fun! I love that fun! I want to stay right with it. And another thing - some of my friends and I speak with each other by a few means - we Skype, we IM, we PM, and we talk on the good, old-fashioned phone too. It's really quite mind blowing, the friends I've made here, and how much I've come to care for them. I speak to one in particular almost daily on Skype, on our webcams, and when we aren't able to talk for a couple of days, I miss him like crazy! A year ago, if anyone ever told me I'd be doing what I'm doing here, I would have laughed in their faces. This is the first site I joined and the only one I spend any real time on, but I wouldn't have predicted my being here at all, honestly. Computers just didn't hold any real fascination for me. I used ours for a little bit of e-mail and a lot of e-bay, and that's about it. Then, I found Mylot and the rest is history. I guess the fact that I don't work is partially why I'm able to spend so much time here, to have made the close friends I've made. You clearly are a working man, and so are most of the people here. But come back a little more often, ok? I really like what I'm seeing here, and I'd love to get to know you a little more. Whaddya say?

Maybe their life catch up with them and something else is demanding their attention? maybe they reached the payout limit that satisfies them and they decide it's enough and they are done.. Maybe they get ill and have to stop going online (I remember having one particularly terrible flu when I was offline for over two weeks... boy, that made my online friends worried). Maybe something distracted them or something better happened. There are many reasons for that behavior... But without asking those 'missing' people, we wont know for sure

I have not noticed this yet and I have been here a couple of months . I do see the same people and know which ones are loved though . I suppose maybe some people need a break away from the lot maybe

I understand what that it is like. I think mylot offers a fun little news-breaker. The front page articles seem to offer the news I want to see, not to mention rarer items from places like 1up.com.

I think they just got bored.
Like me, I usually tend to some stuffs that interest me much more little rather than posting.
Things like gaming and such, but maybe some of those other people have their own stuffs that they need to get busy, like work, family and etc.

I've only been here 3 months, so I haven't noticed what you are talking about. I have noticed some really active people but have not seen any leave, so far. I have no idea what could have happened, maybe they just got bored with it, or ran dry on ideas?
