If someone stops visiting this message board, then obviously s/he does not want to be here. And since most everyone is an adult, I say you respect their decisions.

If I left a board, and someone from it tracked me down, it would feel creepy to me.

There is a reason the person left, and even if you were able to recruit that person back into the fold, s/he will only leave again.

Obviously there would be exceptions to my scenarious. Still, I think it has the potential to do more damage than good.

Besides, it's not like this is church or anything.

I'm soooo with you on the creepy thing. And the "leave me alone I don't want to be there" thing.

I think you are kept on the rolls of this forum till age 110. Besides, what if Pam brought you some wonderful home baked rolls on a monthly visit?

haha...Elphie is only a year or so older than me. When she is 110 I will be much too old to be bringing home baked rolls to her. Can I send her virtual pictures of them on a monthly basis?

If users have left - it is probably not that they have anything against the board, but maybe that it isn't very active. I am a member on another board that consistently has three or more pages of New Posts because the discussion isn't limited to just talking about our dogs, etc. To be honest, I search more for threads than actually look at new posts because most of the time there just isn't anything and everything is so serious instead of being fun. I hesitate to post anymore because even the most innocent things can be blown out of proportion. JMHO.
