I've noticed some of the names I got to know when I first joined this forum are missing.
Jazz is one of them. I miss her, I wonder if she ever checks in on here, or what she is up to lately?

Jazz got upset by something, I believe, but I know no details.

Oh really? Well, I hope she returns soon.

What about 'DistantShores'? He was fun.

I thought I had seen a recent post by Jazz just a couple days ago, but must have been on Meeting Pot, as her profile on here says that her last post was Oct. 27.... Of course, it also says her last log-on was Oct. 23, so we know something is wrong with the counter function.
Speaking of counters, why does this site not use the "Most Users on Forum" function that ProBoards allows?

Perhaps for the same reason that it does not use karma or warning levels.

And if you search Jazz's last 100 posts, you will see an amazing wealth of content and photos and very positive affirming posts.
With the exception of a minor skirmish with Kerouac over his dismissal of Toronto as a destination, but that was long before she disappeared.
Why DID she go?

That is a very good question. I do believe that she still lurks regularly.

If she does lurk, send me a PM.

I miss Jazz very much. Something upset her on the board, but I won't say more.

Big Ian doesn't post as much as earlier on, Gyro has become silent, Mark something hasn't posted for a long time, and what was really strange was the user just unregistering who had the Humphrey Bogart avatar. Also Jazz and Welle. Hmmm...
If you're lurking, come back ;D

Please, Jazz come back, we didn't mean to upset you. We miss your posts.

Over the years, I have seen many people drift in and out of websites, sometimes reappearing when you had just about forgotten them.
Since I am a very irregular visitor to quite a few other websites, I would be ill advised to harbor any disappointment about posters who have found other places more interesting.

I miss Jazz too, amongst others. I do lurk from time to to time but tend to me in the Meeting Pot a couple of times a day. I think that I am just not online as much at the moment as when I am *ahem* "working". I always did have limitations when it came to posting in more than one forum. I also do a bit of facebook too which when put alongside the other shit in my life right now pretty much takes up my time. I often look at the food abominations when I am in need of inspiration for dinner.

Jazz, please come back. There is an empty space on here without you.

Post by Deleted on Dec 30, 2009 2:05:49 GMT
I'm going to stick my neck out on this one,I'm sorry. No offense. While it is fine to inquire after members and be curious about,I don't think that posting on a thread",please come back,"where are you? "etc. is productive,if that's the right word. People leave places for a reason,forums no exception.I think that we need to respect that decision whether we like it or not. From personal experience I know how difficult a decision it can be to leave and come back or not. There are several posters whom I miss and for my own selfish reasons would like to see come back.But I try and respect their decision. When I left(and deleted my account) rather impetuously,a couple caring members reached out to me via personal e-mail and I am grateful to them for their care and concern.It was difficult and a tad embarrassing to come back but I dealt with it and am glad I did. Perhaps a caring PM or e-mail is more in order for those who are concerned about "missing' members. My apologies for offending anyone once again.Not at all my intent.Thanks.

We could try making this party so much more fun than anyone else's that they come sidling back to peek in.

Thank you, casimira. The bonus, of course: even if it didn't work we'd still be having the most fun.

The idea of having fun on here is certainly a lure.Respect for someone's space is quite another matter and should be given it's just due.

I have respect for Jazz's 'space', but I just wanted to make sure she knew that we do miss her. I don't have her email so wouldn't be able to contact her in that way. I have a feeling she knows now that we would welcome her return, but ofcourse it's her own decision when and if she does return.

Now why didn't I think of that, casi? The thing is I knew Jazz from another forum, before she came on here, so there is probably more reason for me to miss her then most. But I will try PMing her.

Here I am, 'a day late and a dollar short'. Thank you for your thoughts. This has been a time of gentle, sometimes violent, chaos and I simply have not had the focus to post. But, I read and love your threads. One small pesky battle has been with the neighborhood squirrels who have laid claim to living in my roof...I did manage to take a photo of one of the little beasts...

Oh, Jazz, welcome back!!!! I know sometimes it is hard to get the creative juices flowing and sometimes life has a way of just jumping up and saying hey, there are things to take care of. So, our posting takes a backseat to taking care of other life items. I am glad to have you back.

I am concerned about Jazz's violent chaos.
