Dont you hate it when friends go missing on here?

Interesting! But to tell you the fact, few people on mylot are just to earn money and not for building any sort of relationship. May be they were all free during those days so they posted a lot, now they arent. Or may be they dont find mylot as interesting as before. Could be any of the reason. You never know.

Lots of reasons for friends going missing. Some have had bad experiences on her and left for a while or for good. They never answer PM's because they aren't on here anymore. And some just move on. And we do have some sensitive and touchy ones that misunderstood or felt something took place that didn't. And there are some very evil and even ignorant types that like to make trouble.

Hello bunnybon, my first MYLOT friend! Am I one of them missing friends? I know I haven't been on lately. Between home, church and school work I don't have much free time, so I have only been responding to a few discussions. This is early Sat morning and I don't have my assignments for this week done yet, barely started, have done the reading and research, just need to put it all together now. Husband has been coming home at 3 and glued to a tv set till midnight and although I have a computer room and shut the door I can still hear the tv. Just woke a bit a go with a headache and took 2 excedrins now I am awake and its so QUIET thought I would try to work on my assignments. But always have time for you friend!

There is no permanency to everything. Even our earthly existence have its expiry date. Not seeing friends around for a long long time does create curiosity in my mind as to whether they might have left to their permanent dwelling. Anything can happen, but lets hope their missing in action is only temporary and they will come knocking back soon.

Hiya! I have experienced that back in the day when all my time was spent on here. I really wished all my myLot friends have new discussions that I can respond to and even hijack other responders' comments.^_^ I would also worry when I notice that even one of my myLot friends went AWOL for a considerable amount of time. These days, it seems that Im the one who has gone AWOL.LOL I think most of my friends have become busy with their offline lives and gradually they would just post on here whenever they can. That has happened to me this year. With the activities in my offline life piling up and consuming most of my time, I dont get to be here as much as I wanted to. For the past few months, I am a "hit and run"-ner. As in I post when I get the chance and then leave for some time, then post some more. I dont get to follow discussions for the whole day as I used to. I do wonder how my myLot friends are doing and I always check if they posted anything new. Some of them are my Facebook friends and I keep in touch with some of them through instant messaging. Anyway, perhaps, your friends are just busy offline at the moment. They would be sure to respond to your PM's and responses when they get the chance. Goodluck and always have fun myLotting.

Well, since I don't have called regular friends here. I don't miss someone discussion...

Ain't that the truth, there is one lady who in actual fact is from my part of the world and I love her discussions, and we have some great banter together, we are on the same wave length and she always makes me smile, one of many Mylot dear friends on here, she has been missing for some time, I did drop on her profile and left messages. I know she is busy and has a family, and once in a while she will reappear, then vanish again, I guess it's the nature of this site plus we all have relatively busy lives to lead. But I do notice when friends suddenly disappear of the radar. Equally so I get a lot of welcome comments from my friends when I respond or do discussions, as I tend to dip in and out of Mylot. I do admit I am not as frequent as I used to be, but that's mainly due to how my depression is and the black moods have me missing for ages I confess.

I've really tried to make friends here, not in a pushy way but just to let people know I care and that I'm here for them. It doesn't have any result usually but sometimes I get an email address and the connection goes a little further. It always stops though when the emails become just a few words that are meaningless or they dry up completely. There are some that I really miss, some I worry about and even more I wonder about...those I thought were my friend but they have just disappeared and if one or two come back, the connection has been broken. The other strange thing is that there are some here whose discussions I nearly always enter into and yet, they never come to mine. It's one reason I don't start many discussions...it really hurts when "friends" ignore them. My point here is...are they really "friends"?

Hi bunnybon, I know a few friends are wondering where I'm at because I've been gone for a little while myself but I haven't recieved any pm's from anybody so I guess no one's THAT worried about me. lol No pun intended! I've been really sick for over three weeks and still am. I see my doctor again tomorrow in hopes something can be figured out to get me on my feet again. I'm so tired of being this way and for so long. But yes, like you, I do worry about my friends when they go absent for a while and will ask around to see if anybody knows anything. Somebody has to know something.....

Yep I do...

Hi bunny, This may happen. Some friends may disappear for sometimes. It is possible that they are in problem. So they are not opening their computer. It is true that we expect some friends discussions and response. When we don't get it we get disappointed.

I just wondered the same thing last week. I was missing someone and thought..I'll call out to them. I hate it when I get used to having someone around and then suddenly they are gone. It actually worries me.

You're so sweet bunnybon7, it's good to know that you are not here mainly for money but for meeting new friends as well. Don't feel too sad about those friend of yours, maybe they are just too busy to log in during a span of days. They will get back to your messages when they can, hopefully. Or maybe they are just too busy to be able to log in and post only one discussion and then go offline again. We just don't know their reason why they can't respond to your messages or why they can't even respond to discussions. They will be back, a lot of us loves mylot and leaving it is just hard to do ;)

I already have good friends here who were missing in action, some of them were active once in a blue moon while others were gone for good. Its like real life not all friends and even families last forever, even if they were still alive they were kinda gone because they moved away and have a new life . I missed a lot of people here in mylot too.

I've noticed that, too. I've PMed those MIA's and they come back and start or respond to discussions like they had never been away and also never reply to my PM so I know how you feel about that. I thought maybe the PMs disappear after awhile but that's not the case. I had one friend here quite awhile back who is older and had even had a mini-stroke about a week before he disappeared. I PMed him but got no response. I was EXTREMELY worried because of that previous mini-stroke. An entire YEAR went by and, of course, I was thinking the worst, but he finally did pop back in here (just recently) and even responded to my PM! I wanted to, uhh, 'Singout' for joy! (Notice how I got his user name in on the sly. ) So, you just never know. I think that it's best to TRY not to worry because anything can be going on, sometimes really great things, that keep them away from myLot. My friend had actually been traveling around the country in an RV. How cool is that!?!

Hi bun! I know what you mean. You and I have been here for a pretty long time now and if went missing I would certainly know it and be very upset! So don't you dare!lol I haven't been as active lately as I used to be. I'm just going through "some personal stuff" right now. I really should be here because it actually makes me feel better and more relaxed, like tonight. I started to respond to one of Grandpa Bobs discussion's, a member who I care very much about who had gone missing and is now back! And once I started responding I just kept on going and now I am on a roll! It makes me feel good to "connect" with my myLot friends, especially ones like you girlfiend! Love, Opal/Leslie

That's one drawback to friendships made online. If they go missing, you may never know what happened to them. I had one elderly friend missing for several months that I felt really bad about, not knowing what happened. Since then she has reappeared, and I found out she was visiting friends and family who didn't have internet service. I was relieved, but still the wait was stressful. Hope you find your friends again!

I have been away from myLot for quite some time now and some of my contacts are already inactive. This makes me quite sad and dismayed. However, I still persevere in making fruitful discussions here and make new and more friends.

There are a couple of friends on here that i have not heard from in ages. This is pretty strange as one of my friends from here often created atleast 5 discussions a day. She was so active on here and yet i have not heard from her in quite a while, i am quite worried really. I know that she has lots to do and wants to earn as much money as possible but by wanting this i thought she would be more active on here. I myself haven't created many discussions lately, i did create one a few days ago but before that it had been a long time but i have been busy trying to catch up with my friends discussions. Just hope that my friends tha haven't been here for a while are ok and happy.

I'm new on here but I am a member of other social sites where it can be upsetting because I got close to them over time and then no way of communicating with them no more. Hopefully your friends will be back on here . Hopefully they are just too busy lately to be on here. Have a good week.
