I can't find it, but in a similar thread several years ago, someone posted that she'd become ill (without any further detail).

I was looking up a topic that brought up older threads, and there were so many members who posted that have not been on here in years. It seems there used to be way more discussions that resulted in long and often funny and thought provoking threads.

It makes me wonder why so many people stopped posting here. Did they all start doing gym workouts? Give up exercising altogether? Have major life changes? Switch to all streaming workouts (though they are discussed here also).

Any thoughts? I guess I am trying to get a good discussion going
I"m still here, but I don't workout the way I did - and there's no reason. Im an empty nester. I started here in 96 and I was just about to marry.

I’m still here, but rarely post anymore. I think due to soooo many exercise options now (dvds, streaming, YouTube, Vimeo) that it’s not a novelty anymore to have new stuff coming out because it comes out every day. I know what I like now for my workouts, but there’s definitely not the excitement I had when so-and-so has a new workout video.

hi Everyone...
I am an old member from the early days- late 1990s maybe?
Anyway, figured I would post and say Hello to Everyone.
Not sure if anyone remembers me because I didnt post too frequently, but I did belong to a TA/TONIQUE check in at some point a few years back.

I also contacted The Firm, set up the first couple of trips and chickened out. Finally started going.
I know why you chickened out: If you didn't like the workout, you wouldn't be able to Joni-O it without being rude; you'd just be stuck doing it.

I joined VF in 2001 (I had to check my profile to remember when!) and have been using VHS (!) workouts since 2000, and DVD, downloads and streaming thereafter. I am still pretty active on the forum when I have time -- between having two small kids (now 8 and 4.5 years old) and an insanely busy job (especially in last 14 months) -- I browse occassionally and post when I can. I was very active among the VF Yoginis when life was simpler. I miss Loretta S, SharonNYC, Sophie, Lisa TV and Renee D! I know some of us yoginis migrated to Flickr but I (literally) forgot/lost my Yahoo email login. VF remains my most reliable spot for fitness news

I agree, the forum has changed. It's definitely quieter. For my part, I probably post less because I do more of my online stuff on my phone. I find it annoying to type any sort of lengthy post on my phone, so I end up bypassing a lot of stuff. And, I am probably busier in some ways. When my kids were little, I'd just bring a laptop to wherever they were playing and was more likely to post. My laptop died, so I use my husband's desktop, so I kind of have to be sitting in one spot now and I'm just less likely to respond to posts.

I do miss the thought-provoking posts... I think a lot of it is I'm just in a different season of life...

I wonder if the number of "forbidden" topics contributes? One thread that was thought-provoking was shut down, much to my disappointment. I might be in the minority but I enjoy a spirited exchange of opinions, so long as everyone remains respectful.

I'm posting less because there are no new FIRM and BeMax workouts. That was always my focus.
