I'd take them in a heartbeat, convincing DH might take a bit longer.

Now, there's an idea. You take my brood and I'll take yours. Chris can't refuse having a Pug that way!

In World of Warcraft we suddenly had a member of a guild, known to us only through the game suddenly disappear. Lani eventually got worried enough to say something and of course once she brought it up everybody quickly worked themselves into a state of assuming the worst (WoW also once caused me to decide something horrible had happened to Lani but some of you alread know that story).

It was quite a research challenge to track him down based solely on minimal conversational clues but eventually we did. Turned out his computer had melted down and he didn't think anybody'd care enough to find a way to let anybody know.

And I do remember the work we did to track down our NYC members at MousePad after 9/11 (not that we had many).

Wow. I just found something interesting. I went hunting and happened to notice - there are a ton of fluff threads that died as soon as 9/11 happened. The midnight society was obviously alive and well with 2am postings in many silly threads, but the next morning they all went dead and sank down into history, frozen in time like so many ash-covered Pompeiians.

Even more interestingly, the first post at MP talking about the crash revealed JRob's unfortunate dream. Crazy.

The midnight society!! Oh, how I miss those wild nights of staying up until 3 or 4 a.m.!!

I can't remember when it died out....I can't recall what happened to me, personally. Probably had to be responsible and wake up early so that meant going to bed....
