Do you ever think about old online friends you've lost touch with?

Not necessarily from EP/SW.

As someone who's been posting online regularly since 2006, I have made many friends online who have come and gone. A few whom I lost touch with long ago and I wonder what became of them. (In most cases, it was a matter of the site we were talking on shutting down, and then having no way of contacting each other afterward).

I've also made some online friends whom I now talk to outside of the site we met on and I don't anticipate losing touch with them. But I can't help but wonder about the ones who are no longer in my life.

I have taken it in my stride. I know i will loose as many as i make new.

But yes, i do miss some of them. Even here i SW, i had some friends in previous years, who have left. Your post reminded me of them. Hope they are well, wherever they are.

The ones I think about are distant family members whom I have discovered through genealogical research. I enjoyed sharing family information with them, but a few have disappeared, possibly even died.

@exexec thats so nice to know. Keep up the good work. Some day they will thank you for all the database. 😊

What software do you use? I did Ancestry, then shifted to geni.com. now am part of the grand world family tree 😀

@WandererTony I keep my information in Family Tree Maker, but I use Ancestry.com for most online research. The two are synched.

@exexec yes yes. I remember. They do.

No I don't think about them, I prefer to leave the past to the past whenever it's possible...

Yeah, there are some notable ones who are no longer around that come to mind once in a while.

Yeah sometimes 🙂 they were nice
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
Oh yeah, frequently.
I had a good friend on EP.

Then she was practically groomed and we lost touch.

There are some that come to mind, but that’s not just online.
I think about some and some not at all.
