Does anyone know how Siouxie is? I haven't seen her on here in quite a while, and she's always on on here, a real mainstay of this forum.
I saw “banned” written under her user name, but that can’t be right.

I know she has been struggling with some health issues, so that’s a concern, I really hope she is ok.

Not to mention that bans are usually for much shorter periods. Even the worst offenders have been back before now.

Agreed ... looking through her post history I see nothing that would justify a ban.

Odd that such a helpful member of our community wound be banned.
Can admin let us know when she will be back?

There is no listing for a 'siouxie' in the membership list ?

That's a bit odd.

Plenty of posts, up until this month.

Very odd

That might be usual for someone who's been banned. Can't imagine why Siouxie would have been, though - she's always seemed to me perfectly mild-mannered and helpful on the forum.

Have you tried with a capital "S"?

Agreed. She was very helpful and a great poster and moderator I thought and she put some of the numpties on this forum in their place. It is a mystery to me.

Stuff happens behind the scenes.

I got a bit of a shock reading this thread I must say. Siouxie was pretty helpful on the immigration forum. I'm an immigration consultant and the advice she gave was mostly correct and always well researched. If she didn't know something she'd say so and not guess which is important when people are looking for an answer and likely to rely on what you tell them. I'll miss her! She's been on BE forever!

I believe that she added the word 'banned' to her profile some time ago, just as a joke, I don't believe she has ever been banned.

Nope. Try again...

The Maple Leaf really is all about banter, random topics and thread drift- people really just having a good time in a less formal structure of the forum.

Siouxie did not like thread drift.

That being said when someone leaves I usually assume they got a life and moved on to something more interesting.

I would hope for example that Ultrarunner went back to ultrarunning.

The link I put up yesterday to all her posts now doesn't work any more Just gets a "no such user" message. I don't know what's going on in here any more, it's weird and sad.
