@MalteseFalconPunch reasons are good

@Ghostinthemachine Hi :) I may i ask you something? Im looking for opinions :) but i dont want to ask it here as a replay that anyone can see coz some people might make fun of me. Would appreciate it if youll send me a message so i can replay you with my question (coz for some reason i can't message first). Thanx :).

@rinkydinkydoink I’m sorry

Maybe one day you will sort out your differences

@meggie do you even want to, or is he trying to avoid you?

@Ghostinthemachine no I'm not interested now.

@meggie time to move on, onwards and upwards

@Ghostinthemachine

@Degbeme at least one of you is making an effort

@BittersweetPotato

I'm so sorry - may he RIP

@ShenaniganFoodie Haha, they were awful, went to prison, came out, disappeared.

@Bumbles You do need to check your facts

@ShenaniganFoodie How long have they been gone?

@Ynotjenn or group together to make a fake account to harass you

@Rumination mmhmm 🤓 Can’t say I ever participated in that one but I’ve definitely been on the other end of some troll accounts. But ya kinda always have a good idea of the players behind those accounts. Not that you can prove…or that it even mattered. It was semi-amusing 😆

@Ynotjenn I was always on the receiving end… good times

@OldBrit Keepitsimple was cool...

@OldBrit @being she seemed nice and genuine, and funny

@Ghostinthemachine The last four have, yes.

@bijouxbroussard that’s so many, and so very sad
I’m sorry B

@bijouxbroussard oh yeah Chernobyl I miss her too... She's a bright star

@Colonelmustardseed I understand.
What changed for you, or maybe you’ve outgrown this place?

@Ghostinthemachine I did a bit of self work, and realized my jokes weren’t funny; they were just mean, complaining little comments. I stopped making them, and the few jokes I have are cheesy. Much less to play off of now. I also stopped drinking. (No more drunken ranting)
And people tend to not want to talk about more serious things all the time, or personal growth, which is the majority of what I talk about now.

@Colonelmustardseed maybe you can apply your older, more biting humour to a stand up routine?

Im sure you’ll the right sort for you here, there’s something and someone for everyone

@helenS how long have they been gone?

@Ghostinthemachine Some years 😐

@helenS you have no alternate ways of reaching them?

@metaldog yes, it’s terribly sad when that happens

@being why did you become alienated? I know it’s happened to me, people just stop chatting with each other and sometimes I don’t know why

@Ghostinthemachine life is complicated sometimes, too many things going on in reality and synchronization isn't always the case

@being if I took up synchronized swimming do you think that would help?

@Bexsy yes it does, I am happy for her though cause she’s happier.

@iamonfire696 she is so much happier

@Bexsy yes she is

@Magenta why do you think the quality of content has gone down?

@NerdyPotato so many long but not forgotten names…

@Ghostinthemachine yes... And MountainBard too. I haven't seen him since @ShepherdBard showed up 🤔

@NerdyPotato sort of like Clark Kent and Superman never being seen together

@Rilyn not nice at all. Except the ghosting part, I like that 👻

@Ghostinthemachine I don't like it. But I'm used to it, so I don't care anymore now.

@Rilyn it’s hard not to care and still be close to people

@Jenny1234 @Degbeme I’m surprised she has stayed away

@Ghostinthemachine I guess like many, she`d had enough.

@Degbeme I understand completely

@Ghostinthemachine It certainly can. 😕

@NewBeginnings7790 I hope you’re doing okay

@NewBeginnings7790 Hi :) I may i ask you something? Im looking for opinions :) but i dont want to ask it here as a replay that anyone can see coz some people might make fun of me. Would appreciate it if youll send me a message so i can replay you with my question (coz for some reason i can't message first). Thanx :)

@Lostpoet i miss him too

@Lostpoet have you checked every corner of SW?

@Ghostinthemachine It's OK. There are one or two trolls, but not as bad I was expecting.

@KarenisKenziesmum I’ve found a few kind and gentle souls here…so I stay away from them 😂

@Bexsy it’s tough missing people

@Primnproper why did they leave SW?

@Ghostinthemachine he left because he had alot of issues and being wasnt helping. Hes now in a great place..

@Primnproper I like hearing how some people that are no longer her are doing well

@Cantsayno my condolences

@Iwillwait KaliKali's newest account name is GlitterEater.

@AntisocialTroll That's sad. That means she ghosted me.

@Iwillwait I doubt it was deliberate, she wiped her Kali account long ago and was off here for ages before returning.

I wouldn't take it personally if I was you.

@Ambroseguy80 I wish them the best, and hope they found what they were looking for and are better for it

@meggie the longer we stay, the larger the number

@Ghostinthemachine Some dont really leave, but pretend to and create another account.

@meggie that’s weird. Do they contact their old friends?

@SW-User how long have they been gone for?

@FreestyleArt it does, and I hope they found happiness in what they are doing now

@BLP11520 you’re not the only one

@HootyTheNightOwl it’s not easy, is it

@Ghostinthemachine It's harder when one guys picture shows in my wanted list. It stays there for weeks when it shows - and he passed away, so he's not coming back ever.

@HootyTheNightOwl that happened to me too, and I hated it, the constant sad reminder

SW should’ve never let that happen

@CountScrofula istillmissep

@CountScrofula it really adds up…how many have left, but good for them, I hope

@OrionInTheNight whew 😅

@DerSilberneKonig1 friendships and relationships seem to change over time on here, just like in real life

@Ghostinthemachine That's because they're the one and the same. It's like writing a letter a couple hundred years ago, just instead of months it's seconds to days lol.

@DerSilberneKonig1 the internet has shrunk and compressed time

@Ducky as much as we miss them, we have to let them go

@Ghostinthemachine I suppose we do eventually

@Ducky we do, nothing is permanent, always changing and evolving
And we must do the same

@Ghostinthemachine I do the same. Some of the most beautiful moments are the fleeting ones.

@PhoenixPhail it’s not how much time, but the quality of the connection, the intensity

@Ghostinthemachine Yes, exactly.

@RedBaron probably wise not to get too close

@Jlhzfromep that’s going on a long time now

@Ghostinthemachine yes, she’s passed in a car wreck but her memory remains

@Jlhzfromep I’m so sorry, my sincere condolences 💐

@DownTheStreet it’s a losing battle, or must feel like it

@Ghostinthemachine simply the second law of thermodynamics

@DownTheStreet I’m sure Newton has something to do with it…

@Lilymoon care to mention anyone? I’ll keep it secret 🤫

@Ghostinthemachine ahh so many, joeyfoxx, brooksy, keepitsimple, newfound, davidscott, to name a few

@Lilymoon that’s a lot of people you were close to, I guess you can be thankful for knowing them

@Dolimyte I’m sorry
