Hi! I am relatively new to the MFP message boards, but have been on MFP for a LONG time...I have recently been getting new friend requests and PMs. I really use MFP to track my food and exercise and to motivate myself and others. I read these message boards for light entertainment.

I find that there are a lot of "deactivated accounts' from users. Who are these people and what happens to them?

    either that are they are not strong enough to survive MFP. Though some of these people just "report" and don't deactivate/leave like they should.

    I have de-activated a prior account on here. Reason: was getting too many harassing PMs. Most folks do it for a reason that they feel is important to them, whether it is to protect their privacy or to protect themselves because they were harassing someone else. Some create an account to troll the forums and then delete the account afterwards.

    Hope this shedded some light on the subject.

    Just one old man's opinion.....

    I've had 4 MFP buds deactivate in the past month. Two of them texted me saying they were getting stalked to the point where the PM's were stating where they live an such. Its a shame, as they both were awesome people and were extremely popular on this site and were an inspiration to many.

    I had a guy harass me, I reported him, then he deactivated.
    I think there are various reasons people deactivate. After
    being harassed it crosses ones mind to do it but it is counter
    productive to do so ..

    bored with it all, rage quits, lost in the woods, creeper harassment, IP ban, tired of dieting, kidnappings, corporate IT policy changes, death, extradition, prison time, lost at sea, goals met and moving on, mental health facilities, job demands, SO sick of the time sink . . .
