members that used to be very active posting like crazy . really into detailing and they just disapered. (lauren) comes to mind and many others . anyone wonder were some of the older members went ? i hope they didnt fall sick or anything..
 
Eh, Fluxy (Mindflux) is notorious for coming and going--he said once he just gets fed up with things (not necessarily the forum) periodically and needs a change of activities.

I haven't been here long enough to really think of anyone else you might be referring to. There seem to be tons of other detailing forums and I tend to be a one-forum kind of guy, but there are plenty of members that seem to post the same thing on multiple forums, or jump around to different ones, concentrating on different ones at different times.

Of course, people, as you know, have problems in their lives, or for whatever reason, decide that forum posting or detailing are not a priority in their lives at the moment. And then there's the people who get a new car (or have a specific problem they need solved) and get all amped up about detailing and then lose interest later.

i agree maybe problems in there lives. totoland mach havnt seen him in a while.
 
It's the nature of people, their situations, interests, and so on. There are several forums I used to frequent and they were dependent on my interests at that point on life's time-line.

Life's is dynamic and I'm sure the trend will continue.
 
im on a bunch of other forums and id see a member posting everyday for years and then gone. and not even on anyother site. hmm wierd. maybe they died / in jail or sick. im sure there not sick of detailing lol
 
Sometimes we forget about the things that bring us joy.
 
I know I haven't been posting much. I do miss the geek but work has been crazy. I'm on the site often but don't post much. You're right though, I don't see a lot of the ol timers as much.

About 15 years ago I used to wake up a lot wondering where I went, and sometimes where I was. :nomore:

I have spoken to a couple that have been mentioned so I will speak about the common reasons for an absence. One is job change I know a few that have been very involved on here because they could at their office and now no longer can. Some retire from detailing or change professions... and some do what I do with the gym.... Go everyday, to the point of where you need a break.
I know a couple of heavy posters that I still keep contact with that are not on here anymore, but they had family problems that just changed their priorities really fast.
Everyone has a life outside of here and it changes, with changes you will see posters come and go. One thing is we are always happy to see them here and when they love we love when they come back. It's like an old friend coming back from vacation!

Not until you brought it up

Gosh I remember the first year of the forum when Jennifer, Surfer, Wystang and more were on everyday. I remember when Pinnacles Paste Glaz first got discontinued. I remember Pinnacles Cycle line and Cycle Glaz. It is however very cool and fun to watch the forum evolve and members too. We respect those that have moved on or are gone temporarily and hope they will revisit from time to time as possible.

I remember all those guys as well. I have been on the detialing forums for over 10 years now and it's amazing the amount of people that come and go.

I remember Sparkie and his killer transformation details. Justin and others just to name a few.

I still have a bottle of Paste Glaz :xyxthumbs:
 
the good ol days .. its nice to remember them . some good detailers are missed for sure ...
 
i remember whe i first started detailing and found autogeek.i got soo excited and i emailed scott many times . to help me learn about polishing ect. it was great. and scott and others allways took out the time to help me . and im truly thank full.
now im a Master detailer!!!! j/k
 
It isn't unusual for me to disappear for a few months at a time. It happens for various reasons, including simply being too busy. Most commonly, though, is because it is winter so I don't do as much detailing, or I am busy with other hobbies in my spare time (photography and home theater).
