Haven't seen Inwo lately, he used to post almost every day, not been here for a month now?

It certainly couldn't be considered spam, coming from a forum in which one is normally so active...It would seem reasonable to me for forum management to tickle any member that "disappears". There could be good reasons or no reason, and that's up to the member and his privacy, but a "welfare check" is not too invasive.
Yeah... I've often thought of what you say too... there ought to be some sort of a system that informs your online friends when you have passed away, or something...Thingmaker3 moved to a rural location where his internet is spotty. We discussed this a couple of years ago with him, I made the contact as a matter of fact.
As for the rest, it is the curse of the internet. People can die, be hurt or disabled, and we'll never know unless some kind soul chooses to pass it on. For me this is very frustrating, but we don't require an extensive contact list, just an email. If you consider someone your friend I strongly encourage you to pass along phone numbers and addresses via PM, lest you or they just disappear into the void.
