Friday Fun…Who Would You Like to See?

 

In the Q&A recently, Will Hamm asked about the number of members ActiveRain has. As we all know, some have joined but never did anything here.

 

Some joined and were very active members.  After the recession of 2008-2009, some left as work picked up.


                                 ActiveRain circa 2015

Server issues and the infamous Chihuahua caused some to leave. 

And sadly, we’ve lost some members of our ActiveRain family due to illness or their passing. 

 

Tell us in the comment section if there is an ActiveRain member who is no longer posting here who you miss and would love to see return.

 

You don’t have to stop with one either. And you can take it a step further by contacting them to see how they are. Invite them to our weekly Zoom Meeting on Tuesdays. 

Who would I love to see?

Dick Greenberg and his grab bag posts

Debb Janes and Bernie Stea and their multi-gen posts

Sally and David Hanson and their always creative and supportive posts.

 

Tell us…who would you love to see back on ActiveRain blogging??

It looks like the dog ate my first comment, so I will just say that I don't really miss anyone that hasn't stayed in touch, haha.

Nina Hollander, Broker so do I- they made us all take a closer look at how we market and taught us to be in the moment.

Sometimes I wonder why those who have left still have a presence on other social media sites. Their answer has always been..."It took up too much of my time"...

There are a lot of good suggestions already listed - I'd add Nicole Doty from Gilbert AZ. I'm sure there are a lot of others! I sometimes look at old posts for one reason or another and say, wow, where is that person?

Kathy there are a number of ActiveRain member who were very active early on, some of them even held the #1 spot for a while, and then dissapeared.

I'm not here enough any more to realize that those people haven't been posting. I knew Dick Greenburg was inactive, but not the other two couples.

Sharon Lee contacted me recently and we are going to meet while she is in New Hampshire in a couple of weeks. I'm excited about that.

Sometimes I'll read an old post and check the comments and usually none of the people who commented are here any longer.

I miss Barbara Todaro too - and of course Lou Ludwig and Grant Schneider .  I was talking with Nina Hollander a few weeks back and asked about someone (who I can't remember now) - but she assured me he was alive and well.
