Whatever happend to mercuryroad i think was his name? He was cool.

Awhile ago, soon after he disappeared, I had PMd him and he said he was just really busy. I think after his fiance/wife came over he stopped coming on b/c of lack of time.

I miss Yodrak's " clear one liners without the frill kind of style "

[*julez* 124]

Meauxna, zyggy, Doc LHA, kitkat1, Aussiewench, welshcookie, Bethanie, Yodrak. And many others are phasing out as well.

Its sad that such rancor and divisiveness on this forum has caused these knowledgeable members to leave.

people come and go from VJ all the time ...

there were a tonne of people who frequented VJ when I first joined that don't come to VJ anymore...

just a fact of life.... no one is tied to VJ for life....

Maybe you can contact her through email or PM or through another site. It is hard when people you like move on for various reasons, sometimes it's just life getting in the way! (Imagine that hehe)

A couple years ago many people that I really liked had to move on for various reasons, that was sad, but I have been able to keep in touch with them different ways so it's not like they are really gone. They don't have to be gone from your life just b/c they leave VJ.

Well said, sister. Here's my contact info in case anyone wants to show up at my door someday:

Mr. Steven P. McGillacutty

1265 Wellchester Ave

Stalin's Manor

Fort Worth, TX 10050

I miss MercuryRoad. Yodrak, too.

It's a shame Yodrak felt that he had to leave after being assaulted for his comment. Maybe it'll teach some people here not to jump all over others for a single comment.

Probably not.

I think much time and effort was made to bring very pertinent issues to the forefront of VJ. Unfortunately, after too much time goes by with very little to no action being done, members have almost zero choice but to make the inevitable decision but to move on to greener pastures.

The misinformation, hostility and least to mention, the management style of VJ has led and will continue to lead to its demise over a period of time. Members will come along to make the plight that "This is VJ, I have been here for years, people come and go." While this is true to an extent, the decline started years ago (circa 2004-2005) and will continue to do so despite the denial of such. It is a fun place for jokes, polls, baby updates, wedding pictures and the like, but it has also become a place that no longer promotes accurate immigration information the majority of the time.

There are many other valuable members (besides the aforementioned) "missing" that no longer wish to participate in such a site and have moved on to other immigration sites where their topnotch information and experiences are appreciated.

True. And it's a shame.

Respect is non-existent here.

Could it also be that much of the needed information that people come here seeking regarding their immigration process has been archived, making it somewhat obsolete to answer most of the rudimentary questions that are the bulk of all questions asked?

No. A simple search uncovers many (relevant) threads. Or the guides. Or a read of pinned threads.

I thought Meauxna was posting under a different name.....maybe I'm wrong.

For those who don't like what VJ has supposedly become( I've been here over 3 years and it seems the same to me).....if this is such a "horrible" place why do you guys stay around? Why not depart for greener pastures with the others?
