Thanks for the update! Finally some good news which is something we all could use considering the various domestic (USA) brush fires that are becoming more numerous.

What a relief!
I try not to fear the worst, but when someone who is such a regular (and welcome) presence disappears it is easy to jump to conclusions.
Please tell him we all miss him if you chat again.

Count me relieved too.
Always enjoyed seeing how extensively he documented all his leather adventures.
Hope to see more from him soon.

This was to be expected. Life is changing, and so are we. In fact, many people have stopped appearing on this forum.

There’s plenty of members who have gone missing whose posts are missed. Big J, Marc, Handymike. I think the the tone of this place has changed significantly, far beyond panda’s short time here. And many long term members have decided this place is no longer what it once was and simply left….I haven’t seen a post from Terry in a good long while either.
No disrespect to panda but the majority of his posts were absolute nonsense. A nice guy, no doubt, but his posts were a word soup of just complete and utter nonsense. But that doesn’t make me mad or dislike him in any way. I enjoyed his reviews and pics and was able to cut the **** to see his point. Or lack there of.

The hat side has lost many long term members this year who suddenly just stopped posting.
I hope TFL picks up again. I've been here since 2017 (with another profile) and it definitely goes through peaks and valleys - but this seems pretty low in terms of engagement.
(To be fair, there don't seem to be nearly as many leather jackets for sale on eBay this year as last year, so maybe interest in clothing has generally declined?)

There aren’t many things I disagree with you on Tony, but if I never see another post from Big J it will be too soon.

I didn’t know who @floater was referring to, but the fact that you found it necessary to post this on a thread of concerned well wishes is pretty revealing and rather sad.
Nothing against you, and sure you’re a nice guy in person, but this seems petty and unnecessary regardless of what you think of Panda’s posting, which, like many others here, I enjoy (and as for what that says about my taste, I also enjoy your jacket posts fwiw).

I’m glad to hear he’s ok, of course. I guess it struck me a little odd that this thread was created when I think back about some of the other members who contributed here and vanished. No disrespect to Thomas. But there’s no Seb Lucas thread. Seb Lucas, Butte….theres a good number of once active members that completely fell off.

I agree.
This is not about a ranking of “favourite members that have gone AWOL”.
This is about missing people we have spend time with, come to like (or even dislike).
We are sharing a community. We don’t have to agree on everything, we just have to respect us.
Frankly, I see nothing disrespectful in Tony’s comment. It’s driven by “radical candor”, but frankly, it’s just a lighthearted comment on Toms extensive way of sharing his views. I always enjoyed them (much as I enjoyed the even more expressive posts of our very own @superfluos), but 5heres no rule that I need to.
Instead of making this personal, why not work on acting in a way that doesn’t drive out long-standing members for silly reasons.

Actually we do have a thread for lost members. I think it is called "Whatever Happened to . . . ?" or something similar.
I couldn't find it on an internal search. Maybe better luck with an external search engine?
Actually, @MrProper just posted the link in the message you quoted. Just click on the link and you get automatically routed to the thread (Has anybody seen __ around lately).

I feel nothing more constructive will come from this thread. Time for a lock.
