So, Where is Everyone?

[Halasian]

It seems the re-vitalization of the old Ringbearer into something wider didn't take off? Good to see a few folk still around regular (Shireling, Tom Cotton, Padfoot... anyone else?) Where is Ms Brandybuck, Shuggy, and the sweet Candy Cane?

Some of those folks stumble through sometimes. Not much going on at all.

I think it's a combination of Facebook, Twitter and life getting so busy for so many of us.
The thing that I worry about, is having something serious happen and not be able to let anybody in here know. That, and not knowing if something has happened to anybody else.

When the ElijahFanForums crashed, there were people that I lost all track of . There are a couple that I had email addresses for - and phone numbers - but some are gone forever. When Kris died (remember Krazy Kris?), his boyfriend was able to let us all know...

Probably a lot of it has to do with the changing landscape of social media as Shireling mentions -- so much of fandom now exists on sites like Tumblr.

Aww, I do remember Kris! He was my RB Secret Santa giver one year!

I'm registered on two tumblr sites, one for Richard III, and the other's Aneurin Barnard. Still don't know how I post on these ...just realized that I've forgotten my passwords, too .

I don't think Kris was ever in Balrog . I just realized he wasn't. This went online in March, and it'll be three years in February that he passed...was very much a sweetie.
