Yes, I have noticed some of our active members have left MyEC. The thing is their English still needs improving; that is, they quit too early.
Our members have reason to leave or stay. Some members may have left just because they tired of learning English here. It can be so frustrating when you find your English hasn't improved so much as you may have expected. It takes a lot of time and effort to master English, though - having learned English a long time doesn't mean you have a mastery of English. Chances are, you'll still make mistakes when you speak English or write in it.
Some may have felt they were not popular any longer with other members here. They may have found themselves getting no comments on their wall or blogs - their blogs were not featured any more or other members failed to read or leave a comment on what they just wrote.
They may have noticed some of the active members left and they may have wondered if something was wrong with MyEC. However, they should have known most of the members are still here - our active members just come and go!
In fact, MyEC is still one of the most attractive places where you can learn or improve your English. That is why some of our active members have returned after leaving a peroid of time. We need MyEC, as MyEC does!
Why leave MyEC while you're still making mistakes when writing in English or while you still have difficulty writing something grammatically correct, while you don't really want to give up so early or while English proficiency is still your concern?
Why not keep writing blogs or adding inspiring comments on blogs by other members? You deserve something better than leaving unsatisfied!

Hi Fizzy,
Welcome back! MyEC is the best place to practice English - that's why I'm still here:)
I am here once again Mr Expector Smith. Glad you are still here ^^
Hi Muhammad,
Yes, that's one of the reasons! Thanks.
Hi Tara,
Terrific to see you here - it really made my day! We miss you so much, too - you must have noticed that so many members mentioned you and the MyEC when you were the admin!
We still remember when you were encouraging us write more with your amazing Writing Challenge; we still remember when you were helping correct the mistakes we made in our blogs by 'Re corrections'; we still remember when you were doing your best to make MyEC a pleasant place for us to learn, to communicate and to have fun!
If only 'Yesterday once more'! I hope everything is going well for you and your family!
Cheers,
Expector
MAYbe THey HAve No TIme!!
sorry for bothering your Eyes! hehe! (^_^)
Great to see you are still encouraging the members! I miss you all. Keep blogging!
Hi Hardi,
Yes, you can say that again. In fact, making mistakes is part of learning - we learn from our mistakes. Keep it up!
@ Expector Smith
Yes I'm always have a point and more or less I'm always correct too. Also there are some exceptional cases where mistakes have to be avoided in any costs. But in daily life, the mistakes are actually needed. They are a must. Otherwise the life would be not worth of living. It would be too boring when everyone speaks, the same perfect English.. It goes against the nature of human being. People would start to riot and make mistakes purposely to bring some spice to their daily life.. Well some people already do it anyways.. To stand more out from masses and for amusement.. I guess. I might sometime do it, when it looks like it sounds funny.
Hi SNR,
Welcome back:)
@Marshaa
Thanks!
@Hardi
It was great to see your comment - long time no see! You do have a point there. Making mistakes is just part of learning - as a learner of English, you are even expected to make mistakes when you write or speak English:) Thanks for commenting!
@Rahul
Good job! To make it even clearer, I'd rephrase it like this 'I just wanted to say that writing is fun, which I experienced here'.
@Rosemary
Thanks again!
