Yes MacEoghainn, I noticed maisky was gone from the question only thread also. It seems like a lot of people are gone. Where did they go? HEEELLLLOOOO is anybody out there?
He didn't do anything wrong, so he isn't being punished by the moderators.
Maybe he's just busy with work...

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Maisky said he was looking into a few consulting jobs that may take him to Ireland. I think he would be very happy there doing trout fishing.
As for Annabelle, she was in Valley Forge at the Celtic Fest and when she got back home, her laptop fried and the other desktop was out for repairs. She has been trying to use the one at her shop but she doesn't get much time there. She should be up and running sometime this week.
I believe we have seen the last of Richard. He wasn't happy with the way things have gone around here lately and said he's pretty much given up on the place. Hopefully, he'll be feeling better by September and we can get him to join us in Bethlehem.
Looking into a new enterprise and different direction in life for me. So I'll be around but won't be top poster anymore, but thanks to many friends new and old to be missed is nice. And you guys can't get rid of me that easy anyway.
By the way my dear Brother Richard sends everyone his best! He is very busy with tribal things but Dr wants him to rest more and not so much activity. He is fine but over does it when he gets involved with tribal things sometimes.
Silly boy!
But he says hi to everyone and Happy St Patty's day early!
We already HAVE lost quite a bunch of especially "old" members, some of those who were there to build up this place, some from the early days of Celtic Radio. Richard is one I will miss sorely, too, Irish Stepper. And I agree, I'm also afraid more will follow.

Thats the general sentiment I have gathered myself from others. Myself included. Though, I miss my friends here and the laughs I had. I see a shrinking number of people on here. Sadly enough its the more interesting ones(no offense to anyone) that are leaving. Maybe there should be an exit poll to discover the specifics of the exodus.

Hey all, don't think negative here. It is a busy time and we are all browsing the web. I know it was way more relaxed in attitude than it is now but there are reasons I guess. ITs GOOD to see familiar faces. I too miss Richard, and so many but may be they will return...

An exit poll Urian? But that would bring to light why people leave and we don't want to do that. We'd rather sweep everything under the rug and make up excuses like, "they're busy with their job" and the like.

Urian,
Contrary to your assessment, there is hardly an exodus happening and if anything our servers are being loaded with people coming and going including our web broadcast. Everything is up up up! In fact, we had 95 new registrations in 1 week!! I spent 2 hours last night answering about 50 emails.
While the community forums are popular, the majority of our users simply browse the boards and do not post. Most people just listen to our broadcast and occasionally look at our frontpage.
There are many hidden members that have never posted on this site that both financially and morally support us.
I think people know my feelings that I run a tight but fair ship here. I would rather lose 50 members than to be politically correct. People have not been happy with some of the guidelines that have been enforced, but if we did not have guidelines than there would be no order to the messages and such.
Before you make such strong statements, you should really be in a position to have access to the stats and not judge the entire site on handful of vocal people that no longer frequent the site!
And for the record, there have been 955 messages in the past week. I don't know about you, but I don't think anyone could read that many messages in one week!
