It is sad, there do seem to be quite a few, I was looking back at postings that I made only in March the other day when my marriage ended, I had a lot of lovely supportive messages from people who are still on here, but also lovely ones from people who used to be regulars its a shame

A lot of the "old crowd" which by that term you will get a sense of who they all were, chose to depart to pastures new as didnt like the way things were becoming. AND before I get my wrists slapped (!), I mean mainly the size of things and how we lost our true sense of community, in their eyes. And sadly, the eyes of many others too.

Hi Suze peoples circumstances change, you may not see someone around for a while then they will suddenly pop up again. Meanwhile new people are joining all the time with different opinions and breeds of dogs and this all adds interest to the site .

There are also number of loyal people who are really committed to the site and they post constantly.
If you are concerned about anyone in particular you can always send them a Personal Message

minihaha - i didnt know these people really -

i was just wondering -

like another horse forum i post on - its kinda lost the sense of belonging - ok i know its onlt an internet forum but i feel lik i have lots of friends on here - lots of different views/ideas/experience etc - so its combined

these people im on about have like over 20 thousand posts yet dont really drop in to say hi even now and again - mabey they are too busy but its sucha shame - they obviously felt part of this community once and mabey now they dont want to know.....


if any 'old' members are reading this feel free to say hi - im sure you will be given a lovely welcome back postings!!!
