Missing MyLot Friends

Some of us have been active on myLot for quite some time now, and I was wondering if any of you, like myself, have been missing some familiar members? Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of someone that I have not seen around here for awhile. It's true that some members will pop in and out randomly, but some of those I am missing just seem to have dropped off the face of the myLot earth.Has there been someone that you miss and wonder what happened to them? Some of those I miss were not even on my friends list, but they often participated in my discussions, and I in theirs.

I really don't recall many. I recall when Mylot only had about 60,000 members and now look at it. I love the new graphics and all the improvements. Lovely place to call my home away from home and I am glad to be apart of it.

I think I remember 30,000 members. I feel like I have been here forever. Actually your avatar makes me think of someone else. It is not like it really, but it does make me think of her, and I know I have not seen her in ages. I am definitely addicted, and I am here even when I should be somewhere else. I need to go do some stuff that will butter my bread, though. I hope to be back later tonight. I hope my friends do not miss me too much.

We will miss you. Ofcourse, but as long as you always come back- that is the important thing. You are a dear lady. Take care

MyLot has certainly come a long way, celticeagle! It has gotten so now that you don't see quite a few members so often unless they are on your friends list. And, yes, I agree that there have been some nice improvements to the site.

I think, gabs, that many of us have to take a break from myLot sometimes. When you are dealing with something that can cause so many varied emotions you can develop burnout if you're not careful. Re the email, no, I still have not gotten it.

One fellow MyLotter I really miss is Jimbo45. He used to have the craziest discussions and responses and he could make me laugh. We've even talked on Skype a few times and I just LOVED his accent!! He got his wife to join at some point, too. Oh where, oh where could that Jimbo be? I often wonder how he's doing and what he's been up to.

Well, Poison, if you have his email maybe you should look him up, or you could try reaching him through his wife if she is still on myLot.

yes it seems that a lot of people have gone now, I do miss some of them, but some were chased away by trolls and others I guess just moved on. I am thinking some people are still here but doing mostly tasks that can bring in more money.

You could be right, winterose. I still have not gotten the hang of the tasks though.

I understand.Let's make a pact. If ever you or I are about to leave My Lot we will send a private message with our a private email address so we can keep in touch.

Yes, sarah, it's true that life does go on, but it is much easier when we can rest assured that people we have come to know are happy and doing well -no matter why they left.

One of the great things about myLot, srisankeerth, is that you can always exchange email addresses with someone who you have befriended. That's a nice way to keep in touch.

There are no doubt a great many members who have disappeared over the years, of which quite a few would have been prolific posters at some time. There are also members who simply faded due to the time required. I ceased to post regularly just over a year ago due to demands at work, although I do still visit Mylot at times for a quick look around and reply to a few discussions. Mylot is a community where you become accustomed to encountering various people, so naturally you will notice a member's absence after a while.

If you have a means to get in touch with them, Shaun, I think that you should check up on them. They might be ill.

Yes. I think of quite a few people who are not around here anymore. I miss some of them too. I have been missing here a couple of times but came back to Mylot after a short while. alot of my friends had left.

Yes, actually there are quite a few when I really think about it. Now and then, usually at least once a day like you said, something will remind me of a member I haven't seen anything of lately and I'll wonder about them. There have been some I haven't heard from in months and then out of the blue they'll appear again. I keep telling myself I'm going to set aside some time to devote to looking up some of these members and see if they've been active and I've just overlooked them or missed them somehow. It's funny how we come to really know some of these people, even though we've never met in person. I worry about some of my missing friends here! Annie

We really do get to know them more than we might think possible, anniepa! I actually came across a post by a member the other day whom I had not heard from since who knows when.

I have noticed that.There are several people that I know I used to read a lot of posts from but never see them here anymore. I know that some have quit and some have been deleted but some seem to have just disappeared.

There was a time, carolscash, when I know that some members had become disillusioned with myLot, and I expect that some just probably gave up on it.

I am aware of several who are/were missing with no 'justified cause'. I try and reach them, offline if I have their email or through PMs here. Three were MIA recently. One suddenly came back and mnay of us were aware he was back after at least a two month absence. One of the other two is missing but can be contacted and the other has just vanished (and I am worried) and is not responding to PMs or comments that I am purposely adding to his responses It's sad when friends just vanish when everything seemed just fine...

It does leave a vacancy when they just disappear like that, mysdianait. I hope that all who are missing are well.

I have been a member of mylot for just a few months. I barely have friends since I cannot go online all the time considering that I am quite busy with work. I do hope to be here more and gain more friends. For sure, when I have much of them already, I will surely be missing them when I do not see them post or reply to my post.
