do you have neighbors or friends?...maybe the guys at the local diner you have breakfast with?..
then again..ive lost all my "real life" (as we say in chat) friends...i stopped drinking,smoking,and runnin around..and now no one even calls to say hi any more and when i reach out to them...no one has time for me..so without my folks..ill have no one myself...my sister and my niece inlaw have allready informed me im on my own when my folks pass on..no assistance at all....i cant cook for myself..nor change my sheets..do laundry.. vacuum ..im on the verge of needing help showering/bathing ( not from being fat,but back pain)....i fell on christmas day and broke something in my back...sleeping is almost impossible..and i cant see a doctor until i get my bill paid down....
ack.....what fun life is huh?
Great idea Roger,especially for us older members with health issues,I'm in!
This sound like a good idea.
Daveroo, if you do not have it, you need to get state assistance for medical bills. Probable need a lawyer to get it. My dad did.and i cant see a doctor until i get my bill paid down....
We activated the Members Notes feature of the forum.
As a user you can create notes and add them to your profile. These notes are only visible to you and Senior Admins.
To add a note simply go to your profile page and look for Notes under your picture. See attached image.
The title of the note can be anything you want Relatives and Contacts, Emergency Contacts, etc.
Place only that information in your notes that you do not care if Admins see.

I really like the concept. If "goes absent" means doesn't log in for X days, I'm interested. I'm not real talkative but I am here a couple times a day, most of the time. I don't know how much it would be worth to me since I don't spend much time alone, but, as a couple of you have suggested, you never know when things can change. This takes the sense of community here to a whole new level. --Glenn
I guess, in the case of either new members, or members who don't frequent the forums on a regular basis (at least several times a week), being gone for a longer stretch might not be very noticeable. There are, however, a large number of regular contributors in areas like aircraft development, scenery enhancements, daily idea people who contribute their expertise in various areas, folks like myself who have our hands in several different areas at the same time and stay pretty active on an almost daily basis. . .those folks especially would be the type who might raise a flag if they just suddenly dropped off the radar screen. I can say in a slightly joking manner now though that there have been a few times in the past where, for financial reasons, I didn't have access to the internet for a couple weeks at a time and when I finally got everything back online and came to the forum. . .no one had really noticed, lol.
It's a great idea, all in all and as "glennc" mentioned in his post. . .it shows that SOH is interested in who we are and how we are when we suddenly go missing. It's good to know they would at least have the means to make contact. Well Done Roger.

To err is human; to forgive is divine
An excellent idea, and how very different from most forums; indeed, from most of our civilization. An actual sense of community beyond the confines of our hobby. Sort of puts me in mind of the old old IPMS days(pre internet) Now if we could get together at the local an hoist a tun or too.
Got mine done

" Don't criticize a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. And then who cares! You are a mile away and you have his shoes!!"
i do have medicare and medical....but my primary care doctor stopped accepting medical and its run up a bill on me..this guy is a great doctor,and i dont want to leave his care ( plus hes become a friend) and as a friend.hes allowing me to pay as i have the money,rather than using a collection agency...i really shouldnt complain...i guess i was depressed and sick last night...shouldnt have typed what i did i suppose....
I had a nice long reply typed out, but when I went to "Post" it, the message was lost...
Anyway, I think this is a grand idea. Having lived alone with no relatives or even friends close enough to notice my demise, it seems fitting that there at least be some way for my forum friends to have some hope of closure should I one day disappear entirely. :ernae:

Good to have a doctor as a friend. Take care Daveroo.
You can count me in on this as well. It is a great idea....we have lost many developers and forum members to death or loss of sim interest....it will be nice to have some way of checking in on those who are frequent fliers of this forum and know their state of being.

it's kinda scary ya know?? I mean, what if something happens, and nobody cares??
Thank you for this idea, I think it is a great thing to do..
I am alone and often go weeks before anyone might show up..
Winters are the worst for this..
since I have no automobile I tend to be trapped during these months..
And having a way that someone might know a hobbit has disappeared, (other then wearing "The Ring")
could be a very good thing..
Since I spend a great deal of time here at SOH causing as much mayhem as possible..
One just might notice if a Orc or Troll carries me off..
Oh, if its a really pretty human girl type, no rescue will be needed..
On to Castle Anthrax!
This is an excellent idea Roger . I'm all for it . Count me in .

Count me in. I think this is a GREAT idea!
