Whatever happened to.......

We've seen a few of our regulars fall to the wayside since the forum has been going.... The most recent one being Minniesmum does anyone know if something's happened to her? It's just she was very active and then seems to have just disappeared

I know dutto was quite friendly with her and maybe he or another member can shed some light? Hope she's ok as I know she had health problems.

I sent her a PM on the 6th March which is the last time she signed on the forum (presumably to read the PM after receiving an email telling her a PM had been received) to tell her about a P4 heater on Ebay as she had been having problems with hers if you remember. She did acknowledge the PM but not heard from her since. If you google her username, you will find that she was a member of several forums and did exactly the same on those - very active for a time and then suddenly stopped. Just one of those things I'm afraid. Shame, as I found her interesting.

Hmmm hope she is ok... Strange how she's disappeared elsewhere as well!

On the same subject we've somehow lost Stevomar, made worse by him being a moderator.... Despite attempts trying to contact him we've had no response.... Once again, hope he's ok

I really hope that they are both OK......

Hi Ade
Hows life nice to hear from you

I've just been looking at the membership list and left it in 'last visited' mode, and strangely (without naming members) I noticed two members who have viewed the site this morning who haven't posted for over a year. What makes folks suddenly come back? Just as strange as folk suddenly disappearing. Lets hope more strangers come back, now that 'the season' is underway.

Hi , well people move on. Maybe after answers/ questions other problems come up.
Dutto is in France and he will not pay for internet ! so he will be quiet.Maybe MM is away as well?
I come and go on various sites,usually in a lurking mode.
Lets hope she is well.
best regards

Mike ( off tomorrow to Germany.)

Hi CC,

Yes, all very strange ...... I notice that Stevo last logged-in on the 24/3/13 and hasn't posted anything since 14/8/12

Hope he is enjoying his retirement

Another couple of lost regulars are Ramblingon (322 posts and last visit March 2012) and Tony F (235 posts but not visited since October), can't see anything in their posts that would suggest why.

Hi All,

In case anyone 'misses' us this Summer, it will be because we will be away in 'Ella'!

Like Ian (Dutto) we do not use the net while we are away, -one less item to pack!

Look out for the 'AS wave'.

Minniesmum had been in my mind quite a lot lately as she was pretty chuffed how her post count was growing so her absence was missed and we do hope she is ok. Ian (Dutto) does use the net when away but only where he can get linked into either free wifi or at a decent cost per day. We are the same but not always easy to get wifi using aires.

Just had a look on minniesmum's flickr account (where she is now known as Tinker's Mum) - she has been posting photos from East Lothian and mentions staying at a campsite near Dunbar. Good to know she appears to be well and enjoying her travels.

OK so I am lashing out €8 for 24 hours! I can only just see the screen though the tears!!

Minniesmum and I exchanged a fair number of emails, mainly on cooking and preserving food, when she suddenly stopped responding.

I too hope that she is OK. I went back through my emails and I don't think that I wrote anything that could be considered offensive; unless you don't like traditionally corned beef!

Must hurry. That is at least €0.01 down the tube already!

Best regards,

Ian

lol Ian did you get a bang on the head from falling of the bicycle along the Canal or some old dear thump you with her brolly €8 for 24hrs, must look out and see if there is 2 blue moons.

Didn't notice Stevo had been on in March to be honest Brian... Must have been around the time we were away at Clumber Park.... Makes it even stranger in a way.

Ramblingon as Paul mentioned is another one I had thought about... But seems Minniesmum is ok at least if the info is correct... Don't expect people to be on that frequently, but it seems strange when members are so active and supportive of the forum then just disappear.

I had hoped that Squip might have popped back in and updated us after getting his caravan, can't think of any other absent members for the time being, unless anyone else has noticed someone else that I've missed ?

CC

I'll sneak away for a bit........ Nobody will notice!

Away in the van this weekend first time this year..... Blithfield sailing club dinghy park! First sailing meeting of the season, but at least it is getting away

Have just updated our list of donators and noticed a number of members who have donated who have also been away from the forum for sometime (many months) some of these names may be familiar to some of you.

Jedmac - squip - mclacr02 - Ramblingon - STOPHAL - Cal - Rednose - mokydag - masuk - prestbury - warspite - zappy61 - Homeleighman - sloopcaptain - MrsGrey - ginner38 - JimCul - andydiamond - birdtrek - stuartneale1

We never know if members have been locked out of the forum or if it's for personal reasons, but it would be nice to see a few old faces reappear.

Hi i have been quiet for awhile. 4 weeks in Australia and from Monday over to do Austria in Sammy for two weeks.
Amazing how time flies doing the round of getting quotes and trying to speak to a human when you want to complete a contract.!!
Give me the old days before the internet took over my life.
regards
Mike

I 'went off' and came back but nobody noticed!

I think it's cos' I'm such a quiet soul.....my children(adults without funds) have taught me that my opinion is only worthy of one response.......ohhhhh dad!!

Cheers Ian

Bit ironic this. This topic was started by CruizingComet and now he's missing - last post 8th Sept, last visit 9th Sept but he's posting on Twitter. Where are you CruizingComet?

CC is still around, hes just been looking after elderly parents which lately has consumed more time than usual, plus he has just got back (yesterday) from taking me to France for nearly 3 weeks. Such a kind soul. I'm sure he will be back on the forum with a high profile again  in the next couple of days  

Nice to know he has been missed, I'll let him know.
