Retired to Florida?

My guess is the best ones moved on to greener pastures, wherever they might be.

My guess is, even though they once demanded for other people's true IDs, they have changed their user names.

That and a lot of people read here, then go discuss things in private facebook groups.

When a load of bad old members migrated over from SS the good old members disappeared.

death is certainly one of them; i know 3 passed on.
as for the younger ones, i say they might still be here under a pseudonym,
after getting all the s-load of personal assasination or got chased off with a pitchfork , as someone
described it.

all in all, it is the personal ASSassination that drove many away from here

I left a long time ago.

I left when I was good and turned back being bad…

Some members seem to have more fun trolling here than doing actual photography work.

There's little to no moderation. There're too many idiotic members here. There's no motivation to contribute anymore. I see this forum dead in a few years if not months.

They are on the Knitting Forum

What happened to their ports? That's why some agencies doesn't have auto pay option.

I still find this forum extremely useful. It's so much easier to pop in here to see what's going on in the stock world than having to keep check at all the idividual sites that we upload to. The first thing I do if I notice something odd at one of the sites is come here and invariably somebody is already talking about it. People like Joanne, Sean etc save us from having to do hours of research ourselves and I'm very grateful for that.

i am not sure. all i know is you can get an estate or something and the agency will continue to pay you. one of the blokes who kicked the bucket , the family just closed the accounts... which is a shame because they could still collect money . shame because the fella had a good payout each month.

the other two, no one said anything. their children did not contact me to say anything. they just stopped writing.

i guess we have to kick the bucket to find out LMAO

that would not be too bad either, as they could still have a cute nurse claim the payout for them

So reading this thread, three possibilities:

They got tired of being harassed by others,
They got tired of harassing others.
They died.

I suspect some might still be here but have changed their name and become lurkers.
