Anyone have any idea what's happened to Flare's own Pathetic Vampire? I noticed he hadn't been around much so went looking. Here's what I found:

  • He hasn't posted since mid-September
  • He has changed his Display Name to Resigned Member
  • He has stripped all available info out of his Profile
  • His website, www.st-spike.de, appears to be defunct

He hasn't responded to an email I sent, but then I have several email addresses for him and can't remember which I used. I also haven't seen him on ICQ, but then I'm on the other side of the world and hardly use ICQ anymore.

People leave our little community all the time (except Tim). So if he's suddenly decided to get a life, good for him. But it's the deliberate manner in which he's tidied up before he left that concerns me. When I took a sabbatical, I just walked away and never logged on as The First One ever again. I'd just like to know everything's OK, is all.

Yeah, I was curious about that too. I was looking at his "most recent" posts, just the other day, and none indicated anything about leaving. Perhaps he's the sentimental type and doesn't do well when it comes to say his "goodbyes". [Razz]

AFAIK, he left over that IE thing a while back.

So what, are we saying Charles made him upset? So much, that he leaves us?

We appreciate your concern.

I wanted to see how low I could get the percentage of users with MSIE.. down to nearly 50%, from 80% the month before.

Well, I *still* don't have a choice when browsing from work. Not that I mind using IE, but...

What *are* the statistics? And how detailed are they, can they differentiate between say Mozilla and Firefox or versions of Mozilla?
Any Lynx users? [Wink]

And more to the point, did the non-IE numbers go up? In other words, did people switch, or did IE users just leave?

50% IE6, 25% Mozilla and friends, 15% search bots, 5% IE5.x, 3% Opera, 2% other.

Two months ago, it was 60% IE6, 20% Mozilla, 9% search bots, 1% Opera, the rest other.

Four months ago, 75% IE6, 5% Mozilla....

This is just from the percentages. When I unglue myself from network election coverage, I'll write some utilities to crunch numbers.
