People come, then go, then come back again under the same name, or a new name if they're trying to avoid the mods or previous connections I've been here two years, and this is my second profile. (I wanted to change my name, that's my story and I'm sticking to it)
I think I've met everyone I want to meet, got my fingers burned as often as I want them to be burned, talked to everyone I want to talk to, and it's time to start drifting away but how likely am I to come back?
I've met people who have been here years under one profile with a pretty good attendance record, others who pop back for a month or two on a regular basis, then vanish again. No idea whether I will even be able to pull free and if I can, whether I'll find myself back.
Have you left, thinking that's it, and found yourself back weeks, months or even years later? Why?

I assume people disappear for a number of reasons but I can guarantee , as soon as something controversial appears on the forums , they'll be back to give their two pennies worth. I can practically smell them in the background , waiting to pounce .

If you don't mind me asking
I've been here for quite awhile, always under the same name. I have never posted a pic, but have sent pics to select members on the e-mail provided here. My take on it is varied, as is normal. Here are a few observations: I will either begin a new thread or be participating on what seems to be a really interesting one, and then, no feedback. Just kind of dissolves. That bugs me a bit. A far as getting fingers burnt--caveat emptor. I admit I am a bit attached to the site, and can and do get a bit emotional. Yes, my feelings have been hurt a time or two, and I've done that, as well. (Trying extremely hard to NOT do this--I really love people and it is not in my heart to damage or insult). I have never "left" per se, but have "hidden" for a few days once or twice. The pros far outweigh the cons, so I will be here 4-evah.

Yeah, sorry to be late to the party, I thought that had happened with this one, it seemed to sink into oblivion, I was quite surprised to see there were replies after all
