I ask as there have been some threads around regarding "Where is xyz?" and when I search for them, they're not found. Now I think they're gone 
Incidentally, I have noticed that those with the status of Account Suspended don't appear in the search list my side. |
Im guessing if you cant find them in the list by name they either asked their account be deleted or they have changed their name.
no going invisible doesnt remove their name from the list. I keep my account on invisible and I am still on the list.
since the rules of the site are no discussing past or present members on the boards and no posting leaving posts and the process of deleting accounts is an administrative issue I'm ....guessing.... in order to find out why you cant find someone on the list you would need to contact a moderator who can help.
a tip that helps me... look in your pm box. if you have kept a pm by someone if their name has changed their new name will be attached to past pms that they have sent you. also some members pm each other when they are leaving or changing their names. maybe check to see if they have sent you a pm letting you know about their name change or decision to leave. you can also look on your friends list if someone is listed on your friends list and they change their name it will show up there too.
