Where is everybody?

[D M C]

I’m not as active as I used to be on this site myself - a product of ages and declining interest - but, geez Louise, there are an awful lot of regulars that I used to see, marked as inactive. What up widdat?

BTW, if anyone replies, I may not answer in a timely manner because, well, you know.

 

[bholder]

I'm here. Barely. (I exaggerate somewhat, but yeah, had an "adventure" of sorts. See Off Topic.)

I’ve noticed that, but also the classifieds seem less active after the site remodel.

Where is everybody?

Where is everybody, indeed.

On one level, asking folk to account for everybody's location seems an impossible task. I'll weakly weasel out of that by saying, no matter where they are, they are there.

On another level, "Where is everybody?" can be such a deeply philosophical question, discussed for centuries. I don't think there's a right/wrong answer to this.

Are we talking of our mind (identity) and body being in the same place? Because they can become separated at times. For instance when engaging in the arts, as performer or patron, those 'out of body' moments have probably happened to many of us.

So for me, "Where is everybody?", well,...I just don't know how to answer it as it's time dependent, moment to moment.

But in a worldwide relatable short time framework, and only for myself, I had to take a hurrication from the forum due to Hurricane Milton threatening my body and identity.

Now, if y'all will excuse me, my body is gonna do some more cleanup while my mind goes to Bermuda and buys a meal it can't possibly pay for.

Giving a serious and honest response, probably the same reason as you :

I'm still around... just actively trying to reduce my screen time and spend more time playing bass than on TalkBass.

 

[singlemalt]

Playing guitar, it’s my turn now.

Some folks left on their own accord, and others got hit with the ban hammer.

I dunno who you're talking about as I'm relatively new here, but since I arrived in 2020 I've seen maybe half a dozen members go inactive after getting in ugly spats with other members.
