This board can be used as a missing folks board for people who are away from the site for a period of time. This rpobably would mean a month or longer.
If anyone has info on some one who hasn't been at the site for some time please let others know. The original intent of this board was to get and give info on missing people after Katrina and Rita hit the US..
Some people are missing because they are very ill and they may or may not want the information about their illness posted. I know of two myself but am witholding details per their request.
Purple: I understand that Purple, and would not want that either. But a lot of other things could be a reason why they are not here, from computer problems to a accident. I would assume if someone knew a reason why they were missing but did not want to say then they would just not answer? Usually here someone is just concerned about someone else and hopes to find they are ok.
alexlee: I know and the only reason I posted that was because I went and posted that a certain person was having a battle with cancer..I didn't check with her..and she was really hurt. I took down the post but felt about one centimeter high. I doubt anyone else would do what I did but I really just wanted to share that unfortunate experience.
Purple: Good point! If anyone has any doubt if it is a personal reason someone is not here better not to post anything at all. It would be nice if a regular member knew they were going to be off for a while if they would post that on their profile. Then others would not be so concerned and worried.
