If it was me it would take quite a while (if anyone noticed at all)

but if it was Lilith or mindboxer (only examples) people would notice straight away! There are a few people who are on here quite a lot and they all know each other very well.

That prob sounds like i am being silly but i do want to say that i have been made to feel really welcome and hope i will get to know people here like the others do now! Im stilll finding my feet a bit.

Speaking for myself.(naturally)You get to know how different people think by relating their replys to their"handles."If someone
(regular)is abscent for a few weeks;I just figure that they have
something in "real life"to take care of.If they are gone for a while; they are asked about!Many things important;come up;that demand immediate attention.For myself;pixies is a pleasure that
can't always be taken advantage of immediately. Irish
P.S.I have things come up;periodically;that don't really concern
Pixies members!

OldFart took a couple of days off, &it was noticed right away... other less frequent posters may not be noticed for some time... so yes, it would depend on who it is...

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

Just to help peoples privacy out;here is what I do.It might be benificial to some.I send LoveDiva4u a PM or e-mail.She is the moderator and might know about the person in question.That way;you're not putting undue pressure on the person in question.
Just a suggestion! Irish

Prophet, hun, forgotten??? Hardly! You're one of the reasons this place is so memorable... and so addictive...

To me, Pixies' is a lot like one of my family's big birthday dinners --- there's tons of people around, the whole extended family is there plus lots of friends who don't know all of us quite as well but are joining the party anyway. Everyone's kind of milling about because we can't all sit down at the same time since there's not enough chairs, and people keep drifting back and forth to the kitchen or out to walk one of the dogs or to join in a pick-up hockey game or jam session... We notice when someone's not there, but it's not immediately cause for concern --- everyone comes back to the table enventually, when my grandmother's famous chocolate cake comes out --- and we just figure that the person has eaten enough and wandered off to do something else for a bit. It's only if the person stays away for so long that they miss an entire course of the meal or don't show up to open their presents that we get really anxious.

*calling*

Hey Prophet --- where'd you go? We're lighting the candles on the cake, c'mon back in for dessert!

LMAO @ Irish! Good one!

(I was kinda hoping no one would catch that one so I could cheat and have some cake, but you've foiled my plans... )

Prophet! I did miss you! And I noticed you haven't been online much too. Actually, you were one of the reasons I joined up and started posting (and pics as well )

Guess sometimes, in a family, you tend to take each other for granted, that they will be around or just wandered off. We shouldn't have though........
