That's okay a lot of us disappear and then reappear at random times on this site so we get get you. I think that's what I like about this place. It doesn't flood me with notifications. If I get a lot of those, I tend to not go back to a place because I get annoyed by them.
ah, fair. i guess i get a lil too used to people expecting me to respond instantly. 's kinda something i miss about forum-going is that it's a lil slower pace and no one expects instant responses xD it gets overwhelming sometimes;

Buy Nothing groups are to give away or ask for free things. They are all local groups, so there are a ton of them for all the different cities and towns, all run by different people.
Wildlife rehabbers are the ones who care for the animals. I work specifically with orphaned opossums. A lot of rehabbers will not take opossums because they require very different care from most animals. They cannot be bottle or syringe fed and instead need to be fed by putting a special tube down into their stomach. And orphaned opossums are very common because mother opossums often get hit by cars and die but still have live babies in their pouch. Most of the time the finder brings me the opossums. But sometimes they don't drive, or they're at work, etc. So I have a lot of local people who like animals friended on Facebook, so then I post on Facebook to see if anyone can pick them up from the finder and bring them to me.
oh interesting, i hadn't heard of that before. my mom and i often wish there was something like that near us with craft supplies bc we often find things we don't need/use anymore but don't want to throw them away if someone else could get some use out of it. had no idea there were groups out there like that
oh, gotcha! ah, i see. wow, that sounds like a lot of work to care for the babies but i'm grateful someone like you can spare the time to care for them. c: idk that i could ever take care of wildlife but i've often thought once my pets have passed, i might foster some animals to help out shelters etc.

Yeah, being able to come back to a thread when you want to and the slower pace of being online of being on KofK is what keeps me here. 
I tried Dappervolk and while I love the art style, there was too much to do.  It seemed more pet-focused than avatar forum-focused. Which isn't a problem by itself, as Goatlings is similar and I play that. But Dappervolk had so much to do that it was overwhelming.
The other forum site I sometimes chat on is voltra.us and although I'm not super regular there, I like going there when I can.
that's totally fair. i used to frequent subeta often but i felt like there was too much stuff going on so i often just focused on collecting stickers and pets.
i think i even find this overwhelmingness happens in some social video games, too. everyone's trying to be the next big thing and smash features of all other popular similar games, it becomes too much and overall isn't even a good mix of everything;

Oh yea I remember squiby!!! also subeta is also owned by a corp now isnt it? I felt like they were bought out to be a neopets competitor. speaking of which how is neopets still a thing hahah
squiby was so good.
wait, did it? that's kinda shocking. but also it was always a love/hate relationship with subeta cos i kinda got the impression the owner was a jerk LOL
i am kinda shocked neopets still exists, too but now is like the best time for it to exist if they do right by the users cos everyone's falling back in nostalgia moods and wanna go back. (i never was on there LOL)

Yeah. I have a super hard time being on Facebook recently. I'm a full-time college student and a single parent, so when stuff overseas gets really intense on my timeline because everyone I know has an opinion and they don't hesitate to post it almost as immediately as they have it. I really wish people would think before they share violent news or pictures.
