[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8821166, member: 59816"] Speaking of Ghosting... I'm always worried when a long-time, reliable player ghosts. I wonder if they died or something equally horrible. I've had (I think three now?) really reliable (like every day) posters suddenly disappear. What with COVID, dangers of driving, wars, and whatever else can do you in in the media, it makes me concerned for them. As many of you know, I own a comic and game store, and ghosting is a thing that always happens with people with pull-files. I never used to worry about the above sort of thing until I discovered that one of my reliable customers, who suddenly ghosted, had a six-month battle with a brain tumor, that he eventually lost. His wife eventually told me about it, so I could put all his stuff back on the shelf, and I wondered if that had ever been a similar case with any of the other ghosters over the years. I mean, it's not like most family members, in their grief, are going to remember to let a person's comic store know. Same goes here. I can't imagine my wife coming on here to let you all know about it if I were to suddenly pop off. If I ever disappear, that will be the [I]only[/I] reason. Otherwise if I were to quit, I'd let you know. Sorry to bring down the mood! But it's food for thought. [/QUOTE]
