Because I've seen this pattern quite a lot. Person sets up a forum, they're active there for a few weeks... and then they just disappear and never get seen again. They're never logged in, they never post, they never do anything on the site. It keeps 'running' in a technical sense (as if on autopilot), but the admin and staff are MIA.
There's usually not even any activity on social media or sites related to the forum!
So how does this work?
How can a forum or site owner somehow keep the site running fine but never decide to visit their own domain ever again? They're not shutting it down or selling it, so they're obviously invested enough to keep the domain and hosting going.
Yet they just decide that their own site is pointless to visit and don't return to check if it's okay? What's the logic behind this anyway?
