I was away for a bit...tending to my "other life" away from pixies. But you know there's always a warm welcome when you return

Does anyone miss me?
Does anyone really know what time it is?
Does any body really care?

There aren't "more important" or "less important" members.

Some of us have higher profiles or posting counts, but each

member is as important as the others.

If I thought there was any cliquy pecking order then this would

not be the place for me.

Sometimes outer life intrudes on the forum.

Kim, is it worth arranging an "on holiday" status in our profile?

Lilith---You're right;it's not like Nubian not to respond to this type
of a thread!
OldFart---I agree with everything that you said.Much as I hate to admit it---I couldn't have said it better myself! Irish
P.S.I don't think that Nubian would leave;without telling people.

That would be a great idea if members would remember to use it.
I hope you sent her a request for it...

Now..Prophet you weren't missed by me..cause I wasn't here to miss ya hun... ...I was away myself since this thread got posted.

But it bothers me when members vanish....without a word or a trace.....


Does a "gone on vacation thread" sound like a good idea if Kim can't make a status on our profile??

i think it's a great idea.

since i do intend to take a vacation in june i vote yes..it would be great to know that if someone is gone for a while that they aren't ignoring you if you happen to send them a pmessage....just gone for a bit.........so sounds groovy to me...

Idea.

"On Vacation" thread sounds good.

Can we kill the post when we come back by editing?

If not, Diva can, I think.

Sorry Diva, another chore maybe.

An "On Vacation" thread is a great solution, if we can't have some kind of status change in the profile. I think OF's suggestion is fantastic as well --- the thread would get cluttered & confusing if we all post our comings & goings continually, and you'd have to read backwards pretty carefully to figure out who was still gone & who was back... Deleting the "I'm gone" posts would keep everything much clearer. Good thinking, Diva & OF!

--- sweetstuff

p.s. Yeah, I was wondering about Nubian myself... Hope all's well with him! And Diva, we missed you --- glad you're back!
