I sometimes wonder if anyone who used to post regularly has died but no one on the forum knew them IRL so the rest of us have no idea. Sorry, bit of morbid curiosity…
Yeah it’s when they disappear suddenly – I am genuinely concerned about grum as he stopped posting so abruptly, he went from posting most days several times to nothing at all. It would be nice to know if he is okay – if anyone has contact?
In the case of someone like BignDaft he just posted less and less until he finally stopped. TBH he got a fair amount of stick for his Tory leaning views (although he was quite capable of giving some back) so I’m not entirely surprised that he might have just lost interest. So not the same as grum imo.
And yeah as has been mentioned mefty is still obviously around although his recent contribution was in relation to a POI (point of information) as they say in political debates, rather than actually contributing to the debate, which is a shame imo.
