Keeping with the theme of users suddenly leaving the UMD, does anyone know where "CreamMeAgain" went? She was posting more pictures and recently won "Walker of the Day", now she's gone and listed as deleted. I hope she is ok and knows that her contributions were appreciated.
I wonder if she's gone invisible rather than actually deleted her account. Yes, her profile "doesn't exist", but it doesn't say "Profile deleted" against her avatar on her posts.
She was quite new here, and her pictures of getting pied suggested she was a star in the making, so hopefully she is just taking a break for whatever reason.

I'd be grateful if an Admin could clarify what all these phrases mean, as there seem to be so many slight variations: "user does not exist", "profile could not be found", "profile removed" and so on. It's very confusing when you're trying to work out what's happened.
Are there specific wordings that always indicate "invisible", wordings for the user deleting their own account, and wordings for being banned? Is there also one for when someone has just changed their user name? I remember an unpleasant ten minutes a couple of years ago when I thought "YourMessyGirl" had left, before I realised all she'd done was change to that name from her old one of "MessyGirl 94" (or something like that.)

I think these may be kept ambiguous for a reason, and wouldn't hold my breath. Here's why I think this may be the case. Some of you may remember the old discussion "WAM models do not have families". Now, the OP was trying to indicate how they personally compartmentalize watching a model in their head. It's "not a turn on" if they're "someone's mom/wife/daughter". There's not anything necessarily wrong with that.
But ultimately, they DO have families. They have moms, dads, spouses, and children sometimes. They have other jobs and responsibilities. They have a personal identity. There's generally a reason models don't get cozy and personal with most of their fans. We're not privy to this information because it could compromise their every day lives. While many of us may have a true concern for a person's well being, there are others, many whom don't even have an account here; who have less altruistic interests. Let's face it, models get harassed here...REGULARLY.
It might suck and leave some of us wondering, but may also be for their benefit.
Ultimately, it's up to Messmaster to decide whether to make this clearer. We don't really NEED to know if someone left of went invisible. That may very well be for their protection. There was no good bye or "I'm taking a break message".
I think the best we can hope for is that they are doing well and maybe reading this. This goes for ALL the people who have left over the years.

Yeah (sigh), you're probably right. In the scheme of things the right to privacy of ex-models should outweigh our right to know what became of them. I get that. It's just frustrating sometimes for those of us whose intentions/concerns for the model are sincere. That's all.

I battled with this personally with a model who IS a fairly close friend. My insecurities led me to believe she was ignoring me or wrote me off. Turns out she's just dealing with some nasty crap at the moment, and we talk again.
So yeah, I get it...all too well. You and I may want the best, but some others...well they just want what they want.
Along those lines, there was a period of time when I dropped off here but I came back. I had some personal reasons why I left, so it happens...however when I came back, I seemed to pick up where I left off.
