If you leave DU for a while how long before anyone notices you're gone?
I'm guessing it would be about a week for me, if I'm lucky.

1. For me it would be a month of two,
someone would start a missing DUer thread and then I would come up.

3. It varies
I was almost totally gone for a week at the end of February and no one noticed. Recently, I was gone for less than a day and someone asked where I was. So, I suppose it depends. :shrug:

7. Pop Mom got tired ...
Not only of being populistmom, but of people thinking she was some strange 50 year old grandmother (not that there's anything wrong with that, perhaps she will be in 20 years). I heard that secretely she was a hottie though. :7

6. I leave for extended periods all the time
And I don't think anybody notices. I'm not offended by it though. I'm just not that frequent of a poster.

9. No one ever notices when I'm gone. But, that's okay.
Every once in awhile someone posts a thread about "missing" DU'ers. And, invariably, there are a few folks mentioned in the thread who are "missing" simply because they've been banned.

Often this surprises me...and, it makes me sad.

:-(

10. there are just too many damn members
it's hard to stand out among 40,000. So it's easy to get lost in the crowd.

Hell, nobody probably knows who the hell I am.

14. Infinte
I challenge partisanship and the two party system. I also do not refrain from posting while intoxicated.

I think I have pissed many people off here. I think no one would ever notice if I left.

15. I could be gone forever.
At least, until everyone currently on DU is dead. No one would notice.

16. I've been gone for six weeks and no one noticed
I'd guess it would be forever.

That's because about 20,000 people have me on Ignore. :-)

17. Never
Because of the insignificant amount of posts and the fact that like two people (at most) even know who I am, I highly doubt that anyone would notice if I disappeared.
I really need to work on that.

18. Don't worry...
I have over 1000, and I very much doubt anyone would notice if I was gone either:)

21. Nobody notices me in much of anything.
Why would an Internet forum be any different?

24. My friend, JohnKleeb, noticed I was missing
and posted a thread asking if anyone knew where I was. I was very flattered that someone noticed.:-)
