This is basically for the members I see who log in to the forum three times a week but yet never post anything or even engage in conversation otherwise:
What's the deal?
I'd love to talk to you guys, that's why I'm here, and I'm sure you joined in to do the same. I'd just like to know why you log in then don't do anything. A forum account isn't like an e-mail one, if you don't log in you won't lose your membership here unless you yourself revoke it, so if that was the case don't worry. I understand if you have work or school commitments, luckily I don't have to worry since my schedule allows me to check in everyday, but just let us know so we know how you're doing or where you're at.
It's not like I'm the only one here, I know you guys have logged in since it's mentioned in the forum box on the bottom of the main page, so I know you guys are still out there but I do get extremely lonely just posting threads no one's around to talk with. Start threads, as we don't have one for everything out there so if you're mad we don't have a thread for your film, make one. Join in the conversations guys, that's what keeps the forum going healthy and strong, not just one person making up everything and no one else contributing.

Honestly, I have some serious personal issues going on right now, man. The managing partner and only other lawyer at my lawfirm just died two weeks ago in a tagic accident. Suddenly and without any warning or time to prepare, not only am I facing the loss of one of my closest friends and a mentor who taught me almost everything I know about this business, but I am also attempting to run and manage the entire firm and all of its cases. IT is not an easy job. I certainly don't make anywhere near what one would normally make for doing this level of work (but I am doing ti to try to save this law practice and to honor my friend). I am literally sleeping in the office some nights I am putting in so many hours. I don't have any idea whether I will be succesful or whether I am just prolonging the innevitable and will have to close the doors soon and be out of work.
I love you guys. I am still stopping by to see what's going on, and will be happy to contribute if a discussion starts where it seems I might have something to contribute. BUT, I absolutely do not have the time or energy to do much. I am really doing the best I can, and I am sorry that the place isn't doing as well as it used to, but I am not in a position to do much about it.

That's terrible, I am so sorry for your loss HNT. Wishing you the best with everything you have going on right now.
As for me, I haven't felt all that great since May and have been in and out of doctor's offices. They haven't found anything serious, but it really has taken it's toll on me. I've been tired as hell and in quite a bit of pain on and off. I am frustrated beyond belief because they can't really give me any answers....lol.....but that's why I have been quiet at times. I just don't always feel like posting. But I still want to keep up with what's going on with you guys. I'll try to do better.

Wow, that sucks you two. HNT, you have my sincerest condolences and prayers in this situation, I hope you get your firm back into shape soon. I really hope you do feel better, Jen, as well, it's never fun to feel like that and I hope you're doing well in the future.
But really, the purpose as to why I initially did this was for the members I see who've logged in to the forum for months at a time but don't do anything, not posting anything. I didn't want to name names initially, but Leatherface, Abraxas (or whatever he's calling himself now) and such were who I was initially talking about, those who keep logging in since we see them on the bottom of the page as having logged in but never post. I was talking to them more than you guys, even though I do feel great to have heard from you considering the situation. At least now I know how you're doing, I don't with them since they never say anything.

Thanks GL and HNT....  I'll be fine. I know what you mean GL. All forums go through their quiet times, so maybe this will pass and everyone logging in will get back to posting more soon. I hope so. |

It looks like the last 6 months were rough for a lot of us and probably continue to be. People will make their way back on their own time and we'll be whole once again soon.
