Usual members that has not posted on NYC forum for a while. (Hope: crime, neighborhood)

[whitlock]

There is some usual posters that seem to have disappeared from the forum, meaning no new posts for months.

Some of these members are from high-crime areas. So now I'm of course a bit worried that they might have ended up in the murder statistics. This is a possibility that can not be excluded.

Anybody feel the same way?

I feel like with the summer, people become busier and less likely to be on their computers. That could be the case as well.

[whitlock]

Yeah, let's hope. Or some technical problems with the computer.

Whitlock you are actually saying that you are worried that some usual posters on this website have fallen victim to murder because they are not on here? And "this is a possibility that cannot not be excluded" because they live in higher crime areas? Holy **** dude..you are nutz...like seriously.

I have been posting less often than usual and you know I live in a higher crime area, so "it cannot be excluded" that I have been kidnapped, my fingers have been cut off, and now can only type with my toes. Or maybe because I am not posting as often, I have been viciously murdered while walking down the street, and my body dismembered and dragged through the neighborhood, then burned and used as charcoal for the cuchifrito trucks...because that's what happens in these higher-crime communities and it surely "is a possibility that cannot be excluded."

Or maybe people have other things to do????? Nahh can't be! THAT is a possibility we can exclude!

LOL thanks for the laugh, hopefully this post was a joke...right...

[whitlock]

I have received DM from other members, that are a bit worried too. So I'm not the only "nutcase" around here.

[SobroGuy]

I think we can all agree that you are not the only nutcase on city-data.

[whitlock]

You are a bit nuts too with this whole "gentrification fixation agenda". lol!

Don't be childish Sobro, all it takes is one properly aimed bullet.

Hopefully they are well, just busy with life, family and are healthy. While statistically with the large number of folks we have it's likely some may not be ok. This can be due to the aforementioned concern, Or something unrelated.

That OP shows concern for people in this community, and is observant as well. Thumbs up. best advice is DM's to those MIA. Other then that, we may wish everyone to be well and hope to have them back with us if they are at all able. This online forum has great, intelligent members form all walks of life.

This is a good post, And I sure am glad to be a part of it.
