They haven't posted for nearly six years.
Did they just get bored? Or acquire busy interesting lives?

What worries me is that I'm getting nearer the top of the 'who's online by ID' list 
Perhaps the lapsed posters are in a different trouser leg of time?

Hmm. You are very near the top.
Now you've put the thought in my head I've just checked - I seem to be about half-way down.

Maybe when you reach the top, you get sacrificed to the demons of RL?

Well I'm fourth from top as I type..I've been up around there for a very long time....
No If I disappear tomorrow it will be because I've finally had it with you lot..I've lost all power to connect to the 'net' or I've finally succumbed to the family trait of a coronary.

I joined in January 2000. See: A1155566 which shows 2000 dates and user numbers, also how many people joined on each day.
Actually I'd been lurking since October 1999.

GB told me my PS was activated on 29th May, but previously someone else told me it was earlier. In Goo you can't see but in other skins I think you can.
So... how would you find your definitive date, and your first post? (I'm a chronic unsubscriber)

Unfortunately I lost my original membership, due to confusion on my password.
I can remember my first question:

That's a thought, there are some researchers who have reincarnated and left their original PS languishing unattended.
