Default Anyone keeping track of the members that are fading away?

Post some names.

Recently I see Chuck A has called it a day.

LARS left and took his homestead thread with him. FWIW, I was genuinely interested in the progress.

Haven't seen Knooger post and several others.

Disappointing.

EDIT: Follow up. Is the reason for these exits a common and probably obvious one or is each individual possibly just doing "their life" for a while?

I'm fairly new here but you're right....a lot of great people like Knooger, Lars, Raazor, Strats & several others haven't been posting here much lately.

I can only assume it's because the same few people feel the need to **** up most threads with their nonsense.

That "job" started months ago.

My guess would be that people are posting less there because they're either banned or tired of the wokeness & bullshit by Cumdawg, JCharity, etc.

Here, I think people are tired of a few people ruining the forum.
There's no wokeness or censorship here, just a few douchebags that don't know when to shut up.

I haven't blocked anyone, I just don't respond or feed into their nonsense.
Just ignore them & converse with others.

When a few jackwads make it their mission to crap all over as many threads as possible, sorting through the bullshit gets old pretty fast.

I was thinking maybe Knooger’s super pervert persona may have caught up with him IRL. I know he posted enough pictures and information about himself at the other place to make himself traceable to the yellow pad crew. Maybe an employer saw some of his posts?

I'm right there with you...
That is what is driving off long time excellent people. If they wanted middle school bullshit they'd go elsewhere but it's here now constantly.

He wasn't working until recently. It's possible that his new job is taking up too much of his time.

The thing that I see resembles the blockbusting that used to happen long long ago. Each time someone here drops out of sight, the gap is filled with crap. Long timers/ Good timers, need to stand firm. Protect the forum from the bad element or the source.

Trolls win if they become the majority.
