Active Rain Members past and present, some are missed others are not...

Margaret Rome I would be remiss if I did not participate in your Active Rain Challenge. I have been on Active Rain longer than I can remember. Seriously ask Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089   when I joined! She was the first one to ever comment on my first blog post. I never forgot it, although the post was mediocre to lousy at best, she made me feel good. Here I am ten plus years later and I am on the first page of the Leaderboard go figure.

Over the years I  found my voice and started actively participating and connecting with other Active Rain Members. Then as things changed such as ownership, management, the list goes on and on I saw some great friends and wonderful members fall to the wayside.

I would always reach out after a while and try to find out why they left and to see if I could entice them to come back to this great platform. Some I succeeded others I failed with. Keep in mind it was not motivated by the Active Rain Challenge.

When people ask me, what is Active Rain I always tell them it is a Social Media Platform for the Real Estate Community without the Political and Emotional drama of Face Book. As well as , without the nasty and hostile interaction of Nextdoor.

So, with that said anytime we lose a member I reach out, some have returned others have not. Recently I noticed that Evelina Tsigelnitskaya    and Valeria Mola    have fallen off the Active Rain platform. I reached out to one of them and not sure if I had anything to do with it but the main thing is they are both back. Does it matter if I had something to do with it? Not really , the main thing is they are back and adding value to the platform and if you do not follow them. Maybe you should check them out and get to know them both. They are wonderful contributors to the Active Rain community and you never know maybe you will get or give a referral and  you will both benefit financially and emotionally as well.

If you are a true fan of this platform, please do spread the word and if there are people who fell off the platform try to bring them back. Thank you, Margaret, for sponsoring a worth while challenge. See you in the Rain.

Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

I can't remember who left me the first comment, maybe Joan Cox - I'll have to double check. She stands out,  as she was very, very supportive when I first started blogging. As for YOU, thank you for bringing the Florida women back, I always enjoyed them. I'm happy to know they are blogging again in the Rain.

Hey thanks for the shout out!  I have been somewhat absent too, with other distractions, but like to check in every day if only briefly.   You did a good job by nudging them.

I missed a challenge ... now I must seek and go find. 

I noticed Evelina and Valeria were not around as well and noticed them back again.  Sometimes our lives take a turn that leads us off the AR community.
