What's the longest you've left your forum alone?


Caddy's post about staying connected made me start to wonder how long people have left their forums unattended. I know when I go on vacation it's usually to some cabin in the woods for a week (where I start dreaming about checking my email, lol). My last vacation was a road trip with occasional Internet access at motels, so I gave my mods a cell phone number and instructed them to call me only in the event of a server emergency. I felt little compunction about leaving the less active forums alone but was worried about the active one, when it probably should be the other way around...

Probably about a week while I was on a Cruise last spring break.

Were your mods able to manage without you? My vacation went ok, but there have been times I've gone to watch a movie and eat dinner and come back to find all hell has broken loose

Re: What's the longest you've left your forum alone?


I intended on going about a week when I went on vacation, then after 3 days my brother-in-law arrived and had an IPhone so he let me use it to check in on the site. So only 3 days.

Re: What's the longest you've left your forum alone?


I was away for 2 weeks in June there, and a week off just there. I am the only admin and we have 2 mods, they coped well and it was still in one piece when I got back lol.

Like the others, I hate not being able to log on...the missus won't allow it when we're away lol.
