Lately it is like people are dropping like flies from IIN! Where do they go? Do they ever come back? I hope they're having a blast wherever they are. I miss some of them, I really do. After they disappear I regret not telling them how much I appreciated them while they were still here. Too bad there isn't a way of telling them after they've left that they are missed.
Missing them is like that itch you can't scratch. Is it normal or do most people not notice the attrition of good people on IIN. Is it normal that I would like to know why people leave when they leave. I hate this poof-they're-gone thing.

If we knew that we were going to be stuck here forever when we joined (If you'd told us the truth), we would've told you to shove that red pill right up your ass.
What pill? What button?
I feel like I'm falling deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole the longer I'm here!
Im not on here much anymore. I read alot of the stories but don't comment much.
Sassy is gone too. At least she left a message on her profile for anyone who cares. Which I do. There are users that were long gone by the time I got here and I wonder about them, and I kind of wish they would come back.
I would imagine that they moved on because there is noting here for them anymore. I mean, this site is not what it used to be. It has changed in the short span of time that I've been here.
I'm a lot like this is real life, though. I see people and I can't help but think of them and wonder if I'll ever see them again.
But then I wonder why I care about these people I do not even know. For me? I am going to say it's not normal. For you? I would say it is normal because at least you know them to a degree through their comments. I think it's really sweet that you care about people enough to miss them when they are gone.
If there is anything you want to say someone you should do it now! Or else you might not get the chance to. There are so many users I would like to talk to but I am way too scared. That's why I'll end up with regret much like you.
AngAnders112; if you are reading this get your ass back here. :P
One thing I will say, though, is that people leave in stages. Very few people ever go from being a 10-a-day poster straight to nothing. You see people post less often. Then they may leave for a week and when they come back only post one or two things before leaving for another week. That's the point you want to get your goodbye in because at that point, they're nearly gone.
I usually write a thousand or so replies on average on different forums, then leave without posting there ever again.
I actually expect this will continue with me.
Hmm, I suppose it is a bit cold.
Actually I still do listen in on many previously attended forums, without commenting.
I suspect that others do the same when they leave. Just to check that everyone is still there.
either way its perfectly normal to miss people who you have gotten to know and like now if you miss some one A LOT that you just met and cant get over them over a long period of time i recommend you go see a psycho doc. :) just saying.
I usually find there are enough people here to fill any void left by a user leaving. Ample wit and whimsy, ample empathy and love, ample mental instability and trolling :)
If you find your heart being broken regularly here by people abandoning you, maybe you should make sure to get Facebooks or emails or whatever contact details from your IIN friends, just in case.
