I'm glad someone else brought this up first, it would have been foolhardy and meaning less if I had done it. Me & Xivk have been trying hard to think of ways and ideas to get all the members that have been disappearing to come back. We even sent Ron an email 2 weeks ago with an idea but he hasn't gotten back to us @_@
But If anyone could tell me the reasons that some of these people are disappearing , it would be greatly appreciated
Heres a list of names, members I would like to to hear information on if anyone has any to give
JohnnyPsycho
Mystic & LabrnMystic
Cheesy
Ketsudan
Symphony ( yes i know she still pops in from time to time, but I would still like to know the reason or reasons she is not as active)
I know some people would rather not talk about why they left , but I want to try and grasp what the issue is. I hope I'm not being rude or getting on anyone's nerves , I only have the best intentions to learn from this knowledge  _________________ Dallas"Wildcat"Swagger--->Fursona |

As an all-knowing vixen, I can shed a few lights on things...
Symphony: This is a pretty obvious one, as she's stated her reasons herself before departing. She just doesn't care for many of the more recent members and the derailment of discussion and badly written impromptu roleplay popping up everywhere.
Labrn: Probably similar to Symphony in a way, but also he's always been something of a member who only swings by once or twice a month. I gather from my own correspondence with him that there is precious little he wants to say.
Mystic: She always came in waves like Labrn, but these days she is quite preoccupied with personal obligations. More than that, I don't think it is my place to say.
Sadly, I have no information regarding the others. I quite lament Johnny's disappearance in particular. _________________ "Doktor! Are you sure this will work?!" "HAHA! I HAVE NO IDEA!" |

*gives Kommy a friendly hug* =^_^= You really are the all knowing vixen ( not surprising ^_^) * flicks his tail*
Thank you for your knowledgeable incite on our MIA veteran members
I would still like more information from everyone on the other missing members, as well as more details about the ones already discussed. Remember to include members that lack a Vanessa avatar and have also gone missing. I don't know much about the other members that came before me, so if there is someone you think is worth mentioning , please do.
I want to know all that I can , maybe then I can brainstorm some better ideas or plans to draw back our wayward members ^-^
But just to clear , I DON'T CARE TO KNOW ABOUT THE MEMBERS THAT JOIN JUST TO GET THEIR AVATAR THEN DISAPPEAR NEVER TO BE HEARD FROM AGAIN.  _________________ Dallas"Wildcat"Swagger--->Fursona |

This forum seems somewhat divided between general discussions and RPs. It's not really that surprising that some members would only visit every so often, they tend to be the ones that mostly just discuss things. RPs tend to require a bit more dedication to the forum and so this could result in those people that know they are not going to be around much to not even bother taking part in them.
I can understand the distaste for some of the RPs, not everyone is the best at writing and the options are a bit on the limited side.
Then there's the real life factor, some people just aren't able to get on to the forums alot. Take Loretta for example, she's currently on hiatus because she is doing schooling.
Other's may have just grown bored with the forum in general and sort of stopped coming back without really deciding to not come back.
There are a lot of things that can attribute to someone leaving and in reality there is not a whole lot one can do to keep it from happening. _________________

Remember, dear Fraulein, Labrn is also an active military man. Methinks that would cut back on his corespondance here too. _________________ Silentium est aurum |

I do miss everyone, especially the key players when they disappear. As for roleplaying, I just learned that I would'nt be able to make a commitment towards something and make everyone disappointed. I simply try to add towards the conversation and make myself more accessible for people to talk to. Still, I know I don't write as clearly or as lengthy as my senior members do, and for that I am sorry. _________________

I miss all of our missing comrades as well.
Unfortunately I have not been as active lately as well. School takes a lot of my time. It also takes up all of my money. I will have to wait to see all of the recent comics and games.  _________________ Go on. Tell me how you really feel. |

I thought Symphony's case was due to no longer having a membership to the main site anymore, and only usually posting comments in threads related to the comics, which would no longer be as plausible without of course being able to view them.
Tex, Ketsudan? I don't even recall seeing him but once or twice and I've been here longer than you!
As far as Johnny, the investigation is ongoing. Wherever he is, one thing is certain: You will never get that hat away from him!
As far as cheesecaked...I hate to say it, but I'm not sure I care too much on his part. If he leaves, there might be a noticeable lack of new threads popping up, which I for one would enjoy a little. |

Actullay ..... There is one member in paticular that I am most curious to know his whereabouts.

Miss Scorpia , Do you have any knowledge to where TheBashfulfeline went? You 2 seemed to be good friends and I figure you might have some information to enlighten us with, and also you never posted in his farewell thread so I am curious to know if you have had any contact with him since? _________________ Dallas"Wildcat"Swagger--->Fursona |

I recall Bashful having to leave due to some sort of real-life relationship issue or something similar. In any case Bashful is gone for good from last I heard. |

I have no idea where he went or why he'd leave.
I only interacted with him in an rp, but I had no connection with him otherwise. I didn't post in the farewell thread because he said he would never check it. _________________ My DA: http://elleboe.deviantart.com/

I hope this isn't the impression I've been giving most people here. I don't hate any of the new members. I don't communicate with many of them of, and I honestly find it difficult to remember who is who. Part of that is of course that I haven't had the chance to talk to many of them and get to know them. A lot also seem to have very similar feline fursonas, and while I don't judge people by their fursonas, I do try to remember them and associate them with their people's posts.
My abscence is more what Shadow said. Since I had to cancel my subscribtion, I've been feeling less and less connected to this place. I can't join in when people are talking about the updates, and there just isn't much else for me to do. This place is becoming a bit of a roleplaying forum, and while I don't mind people roleplaying, I've given up on trying to create new fursona related threads, or bumping any of the older ones, because it's really impossible to keep them on the front page where they'll get noticed, as long as they are in the RP section. I don't seem to have many ideas at the moment either, and I haven't really been in the mood to talk much anyway.
I'll try showing up some more here, but with many of the people I used to talk to being gone, and the general interest seeming to be more towards roleplaying, I don't really know how much there'll be for me to do here. _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio

I'm afraid that I probably won't be continuing it. At least not for a while. I just seem to have lost the desire to write, and it's a lot of work for me as well, so right now I just find it easier to not update my diary thread.

I'm trying to do that, but I doubt I'll get back to my former level of activity. There's just not enough here for me to do anymore. It's really unfortunate, because it's havign a negative effects on my interest in rejoining the main site as well.  _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio
