The new nurse (1)
So many users, I look up their history, and they were gone from 2000 or 2001 until 2008 and then they come back just to write one or two more things in 2008 and are gone again. What's that about? Katra and Bruce_Leach being the other 2 I have run into in the last few days.
@lifesmainantagonist you're complaining about things that happened 15 years ago
well first of all it’s not a complaint, but it’s a mystery why a bunch of users disappeared for 7 years and then reappeared at the same time. I just found another one. WTBPA. Add that to Katra and Bruce_Leach and Daniel_Cougar. 3 of the 4 of them reappeared on June 2 or 3 of 2008. Pretty big coincidence, 3 users disappear for 7 years and all come back on the same day? So are they all the same person?
@lifesmainantagonist You're implying some kind of foul play, which feels a lot like a complaint, especially in conjunction with some of the other posts you've been making. While there isn't a good way to find a complete answer to your query, much more likely is that the date in question represents one of the several times that Fiction Branches had a re-launch, which, especially in the days when it was closely associated with Sapphire's Place, will bring simultaneous attention to multiple past users. Another possibility is that, during one of the several times that Fiction Branches had a re-launch, some data was lost in the transfer representing a particular 7-year period. Heck, if my fuzzy recollections serve me right, in 2008 there wasn't even a username system yet. Anyone could just title any branch under whatever username they wanted, no password required. It was a simpler time. Like I said, there isn't a good way to find the true answer here, but just in general, I'd advise some cooling of jets. Nobody is using Fiction Branches for some strange ulterior motive. We're just here to write stories. If you're curious about the history of the website, I *strongly* recommend joining the Discord server, although I know you've stated reservations about it in the past. Posting comment replies to old threads like this doesn't give the impression of curiosity, it gives the impression of complaint, even if that might not be your intention.
