If a friend here on mylot went away for awhile, would you worry about them?
I remember reading a discussion on a music forum I used to be a member of. One of the popular members suddenly disappeared and months after someone found out he had been diagnosed with throat cancer.
After that nothing else was mentioned but I can remember wondering if he was okay. (He was the only one who'd fight my corner when someone picked at my lyrics for being weak) It a shame but I would do the same here too.
If any of my friends just vanished I would be concerned if they're okay. ~Joey
For those who think I'm mad, this is just the sort of person I am. If I make friends with someone or enjoy talking to them, I would be worried if I never heard from them but it wouldn't take over my life. (I'm sure you get me)
Kudos!

I don't think here in mylot there is any real friendship. I have 15-20 name in my friends list and have sent pesonal messages also, but no one turned up. I think all are just to make money.

Oh..
That's not nice, sooner or later you'll come a cross a circle of friends who will want to be your friend. (I'm sure of that)
I have a circle of friends and I don't honestly know why! but I do. :)

Surely I would. I would worry what was happening to her and why she suddenly disappeared. When I went through her discussions later I found that all her discussions with a total about a few dozens had been deleted. I wonder how sad she would be and since then she had been inactive at mylot.

i remembered when i took a one week vacation with my dad and some other relatives a month ago. we went to a place where there's no internet available and i wasn't able to log in here. i received lots of private messages from my myLot friends looking for me... asking where i am already and wishing me to come back. and i was touched. and thanked them for worrying.
i, too will be worried if they are gone. just like when you left. but i did not worry much about you since i know you had been busy with newbiegen. and i am proud of you.
there are lots of friends of mine here who had been gone for months and weeks. and i have PMed them already. i hope they are doing just okey... anne

I guess I would wonder about them and why they had disappeared but as someone else said there could be many reasons and not just serious ones like your unfortunate friend. I have a habit of disappering (as you well know LOL) because I keep crashing my computer.

Yes, I would be worried and especially for a person who posts alot here. But, life happens all the time. People move, they change jobs, they're in schools and alot of others stuff better than being sick that keep them away from being here for awhile.

Sure i would worry about him or her.
if it is a close friend that i speak with each day and suddenly he or she is gone, i will be very very worried and wil pm him or her.
But usually my close friends here pm me when they think they will not be here for a long time.

I don't think there is anything wrong with you feeling what you are feeling. In fact, I would think it is the most natural thing.
After all, if you are close to someone, you would wonder if that person suddenly disappears. It's like one minute he is there, the other he is gone.
And how strong your feeling is will depend on how close you are to that person.
The closer you are to that person, the more "uneasy" you might feel. It is like a mystery that might never be able to be solved.
Where is he? Where did he go? What happened to him?
Mysteries always make people feel uncomfortable. :(

Of course i will be worried. I mean even though you are not able to meet them face to face. But from their previous responds and personal messages, you can feel the closeness we had with our friends. If one of my friends suddenly vanished from mylot for quite sometime. I will wondering where they are, and wondering if they are okay.
