    Seeing as how I recently came back from being inactive for 2+ years I was wondering how many other users have had stretches where they rarely posted or even logged in.

    Have you ever been inactive? If so, how many times and how long were they?

    I was slightly inactive when I joined because I was new to this place and Serebii was my main forum, but about a month later I lost my password there so I came here and I think I stayed active until around mid 2010/late 2010.
     
    Yep. I was inactive a few months after I first joined for about nine months. Since then I've had moments of little activity, small inactivity moments (like the time i read all of Detective Conan. did nothing else but that for two weeks and that included not going on PC), but nothing as huge as that. And now I'm not planning anything of the sort unless I plan on quitting being a mod here and leaving.
     
    If you don't count those two weeks in late June-early July 2011 (which I don't want to even mention) I am almost never inactive, since this is the first real "fun" Pokemon forum I joined and even though I do juggle between a lot of forums, it's here where I hang out a lot.

    Even though I may have been invisible at the time of this post, I am usually online almost all the time, so I guess it's a no to inactivity.
     
    well, i hate to say this but yes.

    when i first joined, school was literally holding me back from any sort of technology, so yea, went inactive after i joined bet people thought i was the join-and-leave kind

    then came back in april...... had a swell time. then... exams were coming up in september, so that triggered another week-long's leave.

    and finally came the october-november part, where pc trolls were on the loose. i hated them so i migrated over to another pokemon forum along with hikari during that time

    so das about it, i think ;D
     
    Wasn't my fault but yes I have been inactive before

    the reason was I was in hospital because I need an op on my leg..
     
    I've been inactive for three or four times. I guess it lasts for about two to four weeks, school being the main reason.

    I was inactive in late 08 to early 09, the first time I had changed my username to Sydian. I was tired of having to say "hey i used to be silversmearglesplatter" to people, so for the remainder of time I had before I could change my username back to SSS, I just stayed inactive. I was back up and running once I changed it back to that. Obviously you can see I eventually didn't care and I'm so happy I chose Sydian as my permanent username instead of SSS.

    Only other times I've been inactive were because I was away in London and had no computer access and then another time last March when I took a DLoA. But I got on my alt account most of that time. I just didn't want to get on this account at all for personal reasons.
     
    In the one month I've been here, I have never been inactive. I'm posting every day, here till the wee hours of morning, and I regret nothing. You guys are all so cool!
     
    I've been inactive for like... 3-4 days max? Due to my Mixed Martial Arts competition, I had to go until Edmonton for it. And I don't usually use the internet when I'm out travelling :C
     
    Yeah, definitely.

    There was a time where I felt PC had lost it's flavor, and I sorta just stopped coming on. It was really random, trust me. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I had gotten a Facebook or something, I don't know. But I was inactive for the majority of 2011 and early 2012. Then I just randomly came back, cause I realized how much I missed the place. Sadly, everyone else I knew on the forum, or most of them anyway, had also moved on, so I had to adjust, which I did.

    Other than then, I was also out for three months last year due to putting college work as a priority. By by work, I mean college apps. Gah.
     
    I was inactive from when I joined in May 2004 to September, due to going to Serebii instead.
    Then there was the summer of 2007 when I stayed with my sister; I logged on when I could but it was maybe 1-2 times a week, because I didn't have a computer of my own.
    The last time I was hugely inactive was like half of 2009. Something like May-August I didn't have good Internet access. Got it back for a few months, then was inactive again November-Decemberish because I broke my USB wireless receiver.

    Haven't been gone from PC for huge stretches of time since 2010.
     
    I was innactive most of last year, mainly because I just couldn't be bothered coming on.. plus I had very little downloads, so I couldn't go on the forums much. But now I have UNLIMITED DOWNLOADS!! :D
     
    I was inactive on 2011 for practically the whole year, until December, then went on another spell until the whole year and came back on around September/November, stayed on this spell ever since.
     
    I joined in March 2010 but after a few weeks or so, I just went inactive. By June 2010, I came back for a very short bit then left again.. it wasn't until July 2011 that I came back for real and just started posting. Then I've had some small periods of inactivity here and there due to school getting in the way. Otherwise, I haven't had any major cases of inactivity since 2010.
     
    I've had a couple of big activity dips whilst at uni (most recently being this week!) and there were a couple in the past from similar cases of irl overload, but in general I've always remained pretty constant with activity. The amount of posts I make varies a lot depending on how much I feel like writing that day, but activity in general is usually the same!
     
    I was completely inactive on my first account here, where I managed just one post in nearly a 2 year span (Jan. '08 - Dec. '09). Even when I finally moved to this account, there were many points where I went inactive for months at a time, up until Autumn of 2011 or so. Since then I've hung around for basically the whole time, other than points where I might have missed no more than a week due to work or something. Even on the days I don't post, I still find myself reading through the forum at least once or twice a day.
     
    The only time I was inactive since I joined, was in May of 2012 when I left for a few days to a week so I could focus on real life things. Had some work I really needed to be done and could manage to be here and do work at the same time. There was also a time in October where I said I leave because I was upset over things, but I ended up not doing it anyway.
