41. I noticed Atticus has been MIA for a while

He was around to see the video I made with his lyrics, but not much longer after that.

I hope nothing evil has befallen him.

Or maybe he had a serious falling out with someone? I would have thought not, as I found him quite even-tempered. In 2016, when DU was temporarily dominated by a certain faction with whom I had serious differences, and certain actions were taken against me, I just took a six month leave of absence. I found them extremely unpleasant, and DU was fine with it. So I left. No fanfare, just stopped posting. After all, this ain't my board. I'm just a guest here like everyone else. Eventually, somebody must have gotten tired of somebody, because they left. So, I came back. Didn't hurt a bit.

Absolutely. BlackSkimmer Jul 2023 #25

It would be nice to have a feature that would show names of people... kentuck Jul 2023 #16

It would make more sense to track last login of members LuvLoogie Jul 2023 #21

You can easily see the last post of any member. BlackSkimmer Jul 2023 #47

Absolutely agree. Far too many 🧌 here for that type of function to even be considered. Celerity Jul 2023 #65

Lol, that's an excellent point! BlackSkimmer Jul 2023 #66
