It's almost Christmas and we're very close to a new year. I've been active for around 1.5 years in this forum and I just recently checked my messages, browsing through all the pms I ever exchanged with people, just out of curiosity. I noticed something very interesting. I have messages from around ~180 different people in my inbox and 33 of those people that ever messaged me since my registration back in June 2018 are banned. I'm not sure how many of these members self-banned due to exit reasons but a lot of them have a goodbye thread. It's kinda sad. And there are probably many members that didn't use this feature when they left, sometimes even without any kind of goodbye, so there are probably even more members in my inbox that aren't banned and passed away. I'm not sure how many of them did but I'd guess it's probably at least a third of all the people I've ever talked to, considering most of the people I talked to had a very final mindset and were seriously struggling. People sometimes wonder, how many of us really ctb. And I think this gives us some insight to the question.
Some of these people were extremely active in the forum for a long time and suddenly stopped being active, others only browsed the forum for weeks or months. Sometimes I wonder how they're doing right now and if they're still alive. How many of them are still among us and if so, what are they up to? Are they still struggling or did some of them even recover completely? Especially people that messaged me back in 2018 and early 2019, some of them never came back to the forum without any goodbye or explanation for their disappearance. It really me think. They all had very interesting stories, very different backgrounds and reasons why they were a member in this forum. I don't know if I'm the only one thinking about this.
Well, I hope that the people that left this forum behind, if they're still alive, are on the path to recovery. They deserve it and I hope they can live their dreams. I also hope that the people that passed away had a peaceful and smooth exit according to their plans. And I wish that all the remaining people who have plans in any direction, especially for the next year, will find peace too - in one way or another.
