You know those what-happened-to shows regarding personalities who once was well known but whom since has apparently dropped off the face of the earth? Like the star of a popular TV series, whom after show was cancelled was never seen from again?
We have many members who were very active at one time, but whom have since been never seen from again. May I propose that once/week or month, that we nominate one "previous" valued member and everyone, all at once, PM, Email, Snail-mail, Call, Text, visit, shout at, bump into, or otherwise harass (er.. remind) them into coming back to check in with at least a single post to let us know how they are doing? I have a few in mind right now that we can start with. We can just let them know that they are on our minds.
============= Edit ================
I've added a poll. It's just an arbitrary list of some memorable members in no particular order and no particular reason. Eventually, I'd like for us to contact and convince all previously very well regarded and active members to come back and maybe just say hi. Even better, maybe just give an update and a sentence or two regarding how things are going and what they are up to nowadays. So lets run this poll for... say 1-week and then we contact each of those members one at a time, based on the top vote getters? You can vote for more than one at a time. You can vote for them all but then if everyone did that, there will be no re-ordering in which case we can just contact them in the same order as the poll. Thanks for participating.
