Perhaps they forget the Name of the site or forget their username? Or even think the members on here are too cliquey or too ‘friendly’ and they decide they don’t want to be drawn in to conversations with people they don’t know?
Sorry CT just seen your post
Margie, I'm certain part of your explanation is also appropriate in some cases.

I think the problem a lot of the time is that they find Nottstalgia by chance/accident, and they decide to make a post about something.
Then a few days later they remember they posted something somewhere, but they can't remember the name of the site or find it again.

In the last couple of months four people have joined Nottstalgia and made their first post(s).

So far none of them has returned since their first post.

One of the money-saving options which the Council were reported to be considering was stopping bus passes being used on trams.

The Shopping Centre (as opposed to the Market) seems to be just about managing to survive. When the Market has gone, I suspect the rest will follow not long after.
The whole situation is like Broad Marsh Centre around 15 years ago. And look how that ended up.

It will come as no surprise that the Council have finally decided to pull the plug on Victoria Market. It's been shrinking for years.

She wasn't local, but she's the actress who played Albert Finney's love interest in the film Saturday Night Sunday Morning.

Strangely nostalgic, because if you tried to do that today it would be difficult to find any busy shopping centres.

Here's a photo of Cropwell Terrace, from 1977. Unfortunately it's spoiled by the intrusive watermark which PictureNottingham put on all their images.

Local politician makes national headlines.
Robert Jenrick, Conservative MP for Newark, has resigned from the Government over the Rwandan situation.

It's a pretty impressive place. Words like 'Light' and 'Airy' spring to mind. Absolutely none of your stuffy, dark corners in old buildings.
And more computers and other tech than in several branches of Currys.

I think my footprint is fairly low/small.
One car, which is 1.3 petrol.
Not much long-distance travel by any other means.
One average-sized property.
And I’m not a Bitcoin Miner.

I remember eating pork pie for breakfast on Christmas morning. It was a tradition. Not eaten meat since 1977 and have no plans to resume the practice.
This subject has always fascinated me because I'd never heard of it until I joined Nottstalgia; but it seems I must be one of very few Nottingham people who didn't know about Christmas pork pies.
There's even an old thread on the subject.

Looks like the actual building has gone. Sign of the times it's been replaced by a vape shop.

Have you been fiddling around in Postimage ? (or whatever you use).

Ben, your Sneinton photo from Monday seems to have disappeared.

The temperature has certainly gone up since yesterday.
Certainly has round here. I'm looking out of the window watching lumps of snow dropping off cars.

Despite the weather this morning, postmen are still wearing big shorts.

There aren't any other threads covering this subject, so I reckon this can continue.
I've slightly modified the title to reflect the new situation.

It's that strange phenomena - a really nice, original house in excellent condition, but in an area populated by all manner of dubious people.

All going wrong - local teams
in NOTTINGHAM FOREST

I'm fascinated and slightly confused by the way the Forest fans are apparently still fully supporting Cooper, even though he's almost certainly going to take them back down again.
