    The longest time I have stayed away from AdminBB was 3 months. It was some personal problems I had and I couldn't no longer come on because I had to deal with the problems in life.

    So whats the longest amount of time you have stayed away from your site?

    Well, I lost my community last summer - I got locked up. I was gone from May 18th till September 2nd, then brought my community back Jan 21.. I haven't left it yet.

    2 days isn't much considering if your forum is not that big and active that it would affect your community.

    The 3 months that I was away, was enough to kill AdminBB. Its been open for 5 months, and I was gone for 3 months... so if I was around those 3 months AdminBB would have never died, and would be even much bigger than what it is right now. Its slowly getting back up top.

    The longest time I stayed away was 2-3 weeks when I had lost complete hope in my forum, but then I came back as running my forum is a big passion of mine.

    Yup, left home last Friday, arrived back earlier this afternoon, although I managed to pop in on Friday as I was not at sea.

    No it doesn't, the time went past so fast, I had over 1000+ emails to read, so I can only begin to imagine would it would have been like if I went on a 7 or 14 day cruise rather than a 4 day cruise...

    The longest away from my community would be 3 and 1/4 years. Then again, not sure if losing a domain counts as being away from it.

    I think the longest I've been away, so far, has been over the weekend.

    In the first few months on my last forum I had to go interstate for two weeks.
    The the ext year I had to travel internationally to see family, very suddenly.

    Growth slowed down, activity didn't. Phew. (Both times)
