What exactly makes some people inactive

Like someone who has been active in this site for a long time and is all of a sudden inactive. Like users like boy,rayquaza,ixion, and many others. I know many of them get busy in their lives but do they not even have a second of time to log on here? Or do they purposely not just come to this site even if they wanted to(For whatever reason) Or do they just simply forget.. I dont get it

some people have had a reason but did not want to share it, like tommy. he has came back in his final days and has left us because of reasons i wont be saying publicly but for the people who got a personal message will know.

Yeah a lot of times Personal cause is the reason behind inactivity like members of the past. but another is that over the years Pokemon comes as child play and people decide to move on from it. Most of the time it is just moving on from pokemon after many years.

lol screw it xD imma be passing pokemon to my kids :3

Well times do change for people, they may find pokemon boring and as a result wont find a need for this site.. I know boy forced himself to get away from the site as he wanted to give 100% focus to university. Members come and go, and one day even I may not find a need to log on to ray forums, but i do hope that who ever is running the site at the time does do their best to keep it ontop.. that saying if forumotion stays online for all that time.

Some people may just simply forget about us here and maybe one day in the future they will return and become active once more.

Some members left through disputes within our forum. Which is a true shame

I am positive maybe those people are readin this topic right now , maybe some people stay mysterious and just dont log in. we always have guests on this site, who knows (guests as in not logged in )
