Last October, a storm hit here, and I was not able to be here for several days.

I was surprised how many members were trying to contact me when I was able to get back here, and check my email.

Right after that my best friend passed suddenly, along with a great friend on here Who-Dey.

Just like I was missed, I also very much miss so many of you when I do not see any recent posts from you.

I normally am just goofing off, but this is serious.

If you plan to be away from Pinside for a while, please post here (or somewhere on the site), so that we are not worried.

(and may not happen, but would also be cool if it could be posted if a member was banned, how long the ban is).

I love Pinside! And I notice and miss members when they have not posted recently.

It would be nice if everyone could just post and say hey, I will not be here for a while, but all is good.
