Oh, I've noticed that too...it seems that all of a sudden, many seem to dissapeared...just take a look at the What's Going On numbers, it tells everything.

What's Going On?
Currently Active Users: 207 (49 members and 158 guests)

There were usually, until yestarday morning, aprox. about 600-1000 Active Useres on the forum (aprox. 70-140 members and the rest guests), depending of the daytime...

Now this is strange...I hope our Mod's know something more?

Yes it seemed quite dramatic.. the usual number of members online was always around 100 but dropped to half that a few days ago and has stayed low.. ?

It doesnt help that 90% of members are too shy to join in the conversations and many of the active 10% won't venture out of their own threads or comfort-zone like the Nexus thread or whatever.

Come on in people the water is warm and refreshing

We don't bite.... much

Come party.. Avalon lounge is open 24/7 with Brinty's stand-up comic majic, Dantheman pouring the drinks and Brook laying out the welcome mat... come choose a tune on the jukebox or burn up the dancefloor with Carmen.

We love meeting new people.

I totally agree!

To all the lurkers out there just come and get involved! It doesnt matter if you feel unsure or out of your depth, your points and opinions will be respected no matter what because thats just how the people of this forum roll

I think I might have worked out whats happening to all the members here.

If people dont log out after they have left the site they still appear online. For how long I dont know - a good few hours I think. This gives the impression that there are more users than what there actually was at any given time.

Maybe the system is updating itself more regularly now giving a more acurate reflection of who is online. Just a possibility.

[Malletzky]

Yes, this could be a possibility, but we're just assuming something

I think, one of the Mod's could bring some light in the darkness here

[Dantheman62]

Maybe a lot of people only paid for 6 months on the subscription, so if it started in Dec.
that would put it to about now.
Or maybe because the weather is getting warmer and summer is coming, people actually decided to go outside!, which is a good thing.
Or maybe because the forum topics have become a little stagnant, people left.

Sure, I also thought about this...but that doens't explain the massive reduction of the guests...

I do think that is part of it, but not all of it. I usually keep this running in the background even if I am somewhere else at the moment looking at other things, now when I go back to here after a little while I am no longer logged in. I also noticed this to an extreme level in my Telus email account the other day, every 2 minutes a box would come up saying my session was over and I had to put in my password again. It happened repeatedly, very frustrating. Perhaps it is another one of those weird time things that are happening.

I also feel there has been a lot of events on here that turned a lot of people off. I feel there have been a lot of threads started for underlying commercial ventures, under the guises of save the world or contactee info. I feel as if it would have been more prudent to have a commercial area separate like the library and threads moved there such as Nexus, asking for donations, and seminars to sell, the contactee thread, and many others, health product sales threads , and all commercial signatures banned in the regular part of the forum.

Leave the commercial ventures, hawkers and promoters in another area. I would visit that area to see what was there, it just does not fall within the guidelines of the intent of forum and requires a separate area.There were many who were upset with Jack's thread although he was the most upfront and honest about what he was doing and his thread was not about just money for himself but ideas for others as well. I would have like to hear what he had to say in that area but perhaps now he has been forever silenced. Perhaps it is time for the moderators, that are left here anyway, to contact Kerry and Bill before it is too late, because there obviously is something that is not working or the numbers would be increasing not falling dramatically.

I also feel as if their are many on here that see how others are attacked, or grossly misunderstood by others and get fed up with that. I realize that posting my views on this will leave me open for attack but they are my views. I am posting now because I am one who sometimes will type in a posting and then erase it without pushing send, fearing that some will misinterpret, bend, or be upset for what my view is. Time for fear is over, push the submit reply button.

Eny one else

know why there are

few posts and members

for the last few days ???

[alchemikey]

No once upon time...no ever after
Only the present bursts with laughter

In the moment is where to live happily
Right here is infinity...right now is eternity

Drop all the stories and start living carefree
The awareness of you is the awareness of me

Words can only take one to the ledge
We are already the truth...to this, "I pledge"

The Self cannot be lost nor can it be found
Before anything arises it exists as the ground

Ignorance...enlightenment...they are both traps
Each and every thought one thinks silence wraps

Abide as what is...witnessing widens the gap
The treasure we all seek does not have a map

Seeking creates what we know of as time
Why create such effort...why bother to climb?

peace,
mikey

I have been in contact with Bill and Kerry to see if some deep-seated issues can be resolved.

And yes - so many feel attacked or misunderstood and leave.

Hello, everyone. This is my first post here. This thread is beautiful. So kind and loving. Thanks, Rhythm!

"Be the change you want to see in the world." Brook is right, we each have a gift that we can use to contribute to the kind of world we want. Everyone can do something.

But I feel that, more than the grand gesture, the way we live every day, and how we interact with others, is the way we walk our talk, as Rhythm was saying. If we are kind to others, if we have a smile for a stranger we pass by, we will affect them in ways we can't see, just as we do when we withhold that kindness. It sounds trite, I know, but I've found it to be true. And many times it's harder than getting on a soapbox.

Everything is all the movement of energy anyway. It's the intent with which you move your energy that matters.

Let your light shine in every moment that presents itself, and your world will rise to meet you.

Hi Luminous,

Firstly, congradulations on your first post
You are correct, all the great thoughts and kind intentions in this world are nothing without action. We are in the 3D material world after all.

A simple smile to a stranger as you said is a great start.

[Luminous]

Thanks, Iain, happy to be here... now.

(groans at self)

Cheers!
