Two Questions

Not totally sure if this is the right place for these questions

Is the current number of viewers in the Calibre forum (2146) the highest (give or take a few) ever?

and

Does anyone know whatever happened to Blossom?

Thanks!

No. I've seen it higher.

It looks as if Blossom has not logged into MobileRead since March, 2020 and her last post was in July, 2019. Could be anything from lost interest, health issues to worst case scenarios.

Yeah. I've noticed several regular posters vanishing over the years. Some of them were quite old, so...

Of course it could always be life happening and no more time for hanging out here.

I noticed the date she was last online, attempted to send a message, but it wouldn't send as her inbox was full.

One of my functioning synapses is suggesting that the Calibre software connects to MR, maybe to look for plugin updates.

On another forum, when we learn of a member that has passed away, we close their account and add a custom user title of R.I.P. (year) (though there have been other variations if requested).
Does similar happen here?

No. Usually we never learn what has happened to vanished members. On the rare occasions we have learned, nothing of the kind has been done, at least to my knowledge. The account has been left as it is.

That doesn't necessarily mean she's dead. She might have changed her email for personal reasons.

I usually don't pay attention to the numbers, and yes, I realize this, but seeing mentions of Calibre and then this forum all over the interwebs and was curious if anyone paid attention to these numbers.

In the past I'd been in contact with her through this forum and through a Facebook group, and her last posts in both places were in the same time frame.

Just wondering if anyone had heard from her.

That does seem rather ominous, unfortunately. I guess unless someone here knows her real name, we'll never know.
