you just been reading for a long time, and finally joined? or have another name you go by homechemistry? odd that one would immediately jump to the
dead conclusion. bert is always suggesting safety, planning and reading. not a likely candidate for early demisebyko3y - 23-4-2015 at 18:45
I was thinking about something like this recently. Sometimes I encounter someone who post stuff that is really interesting to me. Then I search his
posts and realize that his last posts were few years ago and they were about some dangerous chemicals.... and then no posts since there and it's like
5 years past now.
Guys, don't go like that. He might have created a new account, maybe lost the password for the old one. I wish admins could write about his new
account name, because this shit is scarying me, I can't sleep.Magpie - 23-4-2015 at 18:51
When people don't post anymore I think it is far more likely that they just lost interest rather than dying.j_sum1 - 23-4-2015 at 18:59
Sorry if I was unclear. I was inferring [implying] that this particular user may have a few different identities on these boards and has in the past
engaged in baiting Bert (fat lot of good that would do.)
Of course I may be wrong.
Homescientist has a small posting history which includes elementary questions on calculations and now a query on the status of a long-time member and
administrator. This is not a coherent or normal pattern. Like his previous questions, the answer is most easily found through a quick search.
edit
I both inferred and implied and I should learn to write the correct word.

161 members have visited the site today
0.0946 x 76049 = 7194 members have posted
Should I be worried about all of those members? Only 161 members visited today. That's a lot of worry.
Note: For the first several years of SM, the % of all members have posted hovered closer to 50%. Those were the days,,,Zombie - 24-4-2015 at 04:30
Those are some unexpected statistics!
Only 9.4% of members actually post? Then it's only 4 posts?
That's WAY to much slack for the rest to carry.!.!.! Why do people join if they do not post? I don't get it.Bert - 24-4-2015 at 04:31
That makes sense to me. Its because of the type of Google searches this forum comes up for. I hazard a guess that it is mostly 12-17 year olds who
like fireworks search something related and join solely for the energetic forum only to realize this is way more involved.
Its not a bad thing because there are some who are truly dedicated to chemistry and those are the ones who make this forum the great place it is. It
is not chemistry's fault when "kids" think chemistry they think its fun and its all explosives, drugs and fireworks. We can only hope that an
interest in why chemical reactions occur will develop.
And yeah I also think people lost interest or life caught up not that they died. The only reason I can be so active is my job is to sit at a desk so I
get some time to browse otherwise it would be difficult.

Bert is still away sulking about his ruined beard. morganbw - 24-4-2015 at 14:39
Thank God your not dead Bert. Your humor is too valuable.
The rest can all be ant bait... homechemistry - 24-4-2015 at 16:35
