Who is still around?

  Author:  26303  Category:(Discussion) Created:(7/24/2010 7:32:00 AM)
This post has been Viewed (2395 times)

Being a bit bored, I hit the the Random Post button, which I like to do from time to time.  Anyway, I was directed to a post made in 2003.  It was quite a popular post, with many comments and some great debates/discussion.

What really stood out though, was the fact that I don't see many of the people who were around then.  Only a few are still here, I thought to myself.  Then I clicked on them, and was surprised to see that some of them are still around.   I can't recall seeing any posts or comments of late from them, but it was good to know that they still visit the site.  Heck, they may be here everyday for all I know.

Are you one of the people who likes to just read posts and not comment.  I must admit, I do that alot now.  I might quickly jump on, read what I can, then get off.  Sometimes I'll comment.  But many times, more often or not, I just move onto the next story.

LOL, just thought that maybe you will just read and move on and not comment. LOL

Date: 7/24/2010 7:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 22433    i'm the same way...i've always been more of a lurker than a poster/commenter. In nearly 10 years I only have 3000 some comments..and 100 posts lol  
Date: 7/24/2010 7:37:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 26303    Thanks for commenting. There must be so many people who just read. When you see how many people have read as compared to comments. I guess over the years, the posts have changed heaps. I've been here almost 10 years too.  
Date: 7/24/2010 7:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 22433    ok..i just checked. 100 stories and this makes 4299 comments   
Date: 7/24/2010 7:42:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 26303    LOL,I've doubled yours, so obviously I do comment a bit more than I thought. lol
I've just noticed the log on history link in my profile. Haven't noticed that before.
  
Date: 7/24/2010 7:48:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 26303    Mmmm, yep lurkers are around. Views way out weighing comments. lol
  
Date: 7/24/2010 8:02:00 AM  From Authorid: 63026    I dont post as much as I use too, but I still got 2948 posts, and I guess I comment well with 17,250 to my name.

But I am still here
  
Date: 7/24/2010 8:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 42703    Yeah I tend to just read..just that on alot of post I just don't know what to say.  
Date: 7/24/2010 9:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 23075    As of this post, I have 9561 total stories entered, and this comment makes 10, 500. I do read a lot, I may not respond to much, but I read.  
Date: 7/24/2010 9:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 14780    Here I am...LOL..I admit I dont comment a whole lot or even post that often but I do read the posts made on here. Here lately I have been on pretty much every day..just reading, looking.....great post!  
Date: 7/24/2010 10:28:00 AM  From Authorid: 4144    i'm still here. 10.5 years!! wow! i don't get here every day like i used to but i still pop in  
Date: 7/24/2010 10:47:00 AM  From Authorid: 46486    HOLY! It's Katsho, haven't seen you in a while.

I lurk, sometimes reply. It's kinda boring on USM now. I love it here don't get me wrong, but there's not much activity here like it used to be. Guess everyone grew up, had kids, got married and got lives, eh? lol
  
Date: 7/24/2010 12:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 21903    I come and go too. I have also notice a number of people I thought weren't around actually still are! Good to know though! I'm trying to read/comment more b/c I figure if I read the post, I might as well take 5 more secs to comment. I went through a phase where I just got on and pm'd people more than anything else. Anyways, I'm still here too!   
Date: 7/24/2010 12:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 13138    I am here just about everyday. I read quite a few posts, but I don't usually have a comment to most of them. Have a great rest of the weekend. Take care,  
Date: 7/24/2010 1:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 14464    I like to mostly read, but I do comment now and then. I used to post and comment a lot more back when I was a teenager, I guess I had a lot more to say then.  
Date: 7/24/2010 2:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 3648    Well, I'm still here after more then 10 years I just get quiet sometimes.  
Date: 7/24/2010 3:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 52489    Quite a few people are talking about how many of their old favorite friends are not here, but remember, change comes to all things. Probably some of the people who started out on USM have gone on to other things, or other sites. Others may be bogged down in work, or facing the uncertain nature of parenthood. It's possible that some of them have died, too, though that's not a nice thought.

I've often wondered if it might be possible to start up a 'Nudge' program; sending a note to past USM members to let them know that we miss them, and invite them back.

I try to comment whenever I read a post, because I know what it's like to post something and not receive any remarks. It leaves you feeling hollow and unappreciated. So I make the effort to say something about the post, either good or bad.

  
Date: 7/24/2010 4:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 7341    Still here ------->  
Date: 7/24/2010 5:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 10722    I take a peek now and then.   
Date: 7/24/2010 5:17:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 26303    Wahooo! Great to see some old familiar tags. Thanks for dropping in. Thanks too for those who've read, I see there are many. I understand the different reasons people don't comment and am just happy that you took the time to read.
Take care everyone.
  
Date: 7/24/2010 5:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 63047    I've been coming here at least once a day the past week or two. I try to make an effort to drop in now and then, although I don't post nearly as much as I used to a few years ago. I miss a lot of the people who used to post on here though. For example, whatever happened to Kate (Katetastic)?  
Date: 7/24/2010 6:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 30229    I am here too sweetie!!! (WE got a Birthday coming up soon, hehe)... I have just had some problems with my health and with the heat index being around 110 it is NOT helping me at all.... But I will always be at USM, even more when I get myself WELL again!!! Great to see you!!!   
Date: 7/24/2010 6:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 64365    I'm still around...though I only pop in from time to time  
Date: 7/24/2010 7:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 51635    8 and almost a half years, 73 posts and this makes 1276 comments. This has been my home page since the day I joined, so its always the first thing I see when I get on-line. If something looks interesting, I read it. If I think I can contribute something of substance, I comment....  
Date: 7/24/2010 7:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 57054    I tend to just check in every now and again.. read around a bit. You've probably never even seen my name before lol. I joined in 2002 when I was.. 15. Now I'm 23, married with two kids! Definitely not as active as I once was! I just checked my profile and it says that I've entered 1199 comments and 100 stories. That's kind of pathetic, isn't it? lol  
Date: 7/24/2010 9:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 42945    I'm still around lol after nearly 9yrs in September, with 51,392 comments including this one. I'm here everyday...  
Date: 7/24/2010 9:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey there, Aussie Girl. Good to see that you're here, lady. I miss some of the folk, too. Write on.......  
Date: 7/24/2010 10:12:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 26303    Angus, she was one of the ones who I had seen on a random post. She used to be here alot.
Zemi, you are sure one of the goodens who comment all the time.
Hey to all, thanks for commenting on my post. I appreciate it.
There are so many lurkers lurking still.
  
Date: 7/25/2010 1:15:00 AM  From Authorid: 31765    Nine years here for me this past March. I'm still here, alive and kicking. I post when I can and comment when I have something constructive to say   
Date: 7/25/2010 3:00:00 AM  From Authorid: 63846    KRISTA'S HERE!

But all the same, I've only been around since 2006, but I was 9 then. D:
  
Date: 7/25/2010 3:29:00 AM  From Authorid: 10614    I am one of the old timers, been here almost a decade now and I still come back, from time to time and post something. It is almost like a dairy of my life here now. My poems, my problems, my writings, all kept in one place that I would have otherwise havelost with as many times as I have moved since I joined USM. Sometimes it stll surprises me that I can remember my ID number to log on, but it stores in my brain like a zip code.  
Date: 7/25/2010 8:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 3835    Wow! If Samantha is an old timer here... I must really be ancient   
Date: 7/25/2010 10:42:00 AM  From Authorid: 28848    I'm here every other day or two. Sometimes I'm in a commenting mood, other times I'll just read. I miss a lot of the people that just lurk now. I wish they would comment from time to time and let us know that they're still here.  
Date: 7/25/2010 1:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 46486    Wow, a lot of you guys popped oughta the wood works I see, lol!!  
Date: 7/25/2010 1:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 62918    I do as well.

I'm still around, so hello, AussieGirl!!!

Date: 7/27/2010 4:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 27414    I usually always comment when I get the time to read something.
