I would assume that at least one poster on this board would notice.


Yes, TED would notice if you didn't post. :P



I voted for 'a couple would notice', some would wonder but over all it would change little on the board.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Quite a few people would notice if I stopped posting, but not the active majority, I think.

I doubt anyone would notice my absence unless an airplane question came up and no one was around to answer it.

Since I have been missing, and people have noticed, I would say yes.

Now, being missed is a whole different story, however. :D

Have a very nice day.

Nobody notices me, period. Even when I announce my absences people don't notice them. Thirty to one no one notices this post, either.
Don't hate; appreciate!

RIP Eddie.

I would like to think that people would notice, but there's no guarantee of that.

The people would mourn the loss of the Gnome, and forever would they look to the front lawn of SD.Net and sigh, "Where has our Gnomer gone?"

In fact I have been gone for the last 2-3 days. Friggin' computer monitor died. So then, somone please link me to the, "Where's Gnome?" thread that was started earlier today, okay? :D

Well, I thought I wouldn't be noticed if I left, but hopefully I've upped my SD.Net stock tonight with the EvilGrey "debate."

I routinely go a week or two without posting and no one's said anything yet.
