I haven't seen BigLouis post for some time and am worried that she might not be alright. I tried a PM but she doesn't accept them..

I remember her saying this was a very busy time of the year for her.Thats probably why she,s not posting.

Yes, she did.
Perhaps she opted not to receive messages. I've a vague recollection she may have said as much.

Biglouis I hope you are well and reading this thread, which shows that so many people care about you.
Wishing you all the best for Christmas and the new year.

Yes, it's a possibility that Big Louis has been suspended or even banned. I hope she hasn't been either of the above. She's a character who gives a bit of a different slant on a topic.

Why would she be banned over the shower thread? People fell into two camps there, but it was as simple as that - some would say yes, and others no. No 'right' and 'wrong' about it, and it didn't get personal.

I understand that HQ does a lot behind the scenes before someone is banned, but also that the feeling that people can be 'disappeared' with no explanation is disconcerting for the rest of the community. The rules on here are very vague, and we often don't know if someone has been banned - often it's only if someone notices and asks where they are that we notice. That means that some people seem to be missed more than others, which must be hard for the seemingly unmourned to see.

Given the demographic on GN, and the fact that there is a small pool of regular posters compared to bigger sites means that we get to 'know' one another (for better or for worse grin), and are maybe more worried when people disappear than elsewhere. As with people's shrinking Christmas card lists, it's easy to think the worst when we don't see someone for a while - are they on holiday, unwell, or what? It's not always immediately obvious when someone returns under another name, although we can usually tell after a while grin.

I hope biglouis is ok, and that others who are not posting for whatever reason are too, and that everyone has a peaceful and happy Christmas.

Good post, doodledog.

^Am hoping she’ll pop up and play merry hell with us all for talking about her!!^
😂

Perhaps it's just this nasty virus going round which has laid her low.

That would be great! I await our telling off.

I’m bumping this just in case biglouis is around 🤞

Babs03 Sun 15-Dec-24 21:01:10

Good idea 👍

NotAGran55 Tue 17-Dec-24 16:15:08

The last bump.

She was quite clear that she had a terminal and life limiting illness. the impression she gave was that she did not have long to live, but I hope this break is for a short sharp episode from which she may make a partial recovery.

I have cirrhosis, too.
It's a kind of "how long is a piece of string illness".

NorthowramGran Thu 19-Dec-24 17:19:50

I’m much more of a reader than a poster but I do miss biglouis, really hope that she’s ok.

Clawdy Thu 19-Dec-24 20:11:15

She posted regularly on a games thread until the 21st November, but not since.

henetha Thu 19-Dec-24 23:33:08

It's getting worrying now. I do hope she is ok.
Sending good wishes, in case you read these messages Biglouis.

cornergran Thu 19-Dec-24 23:51:37

I miss her and hope all is well.

This is concerning. I didn’t really interact much with BigLouis but her views were always…bracing.
