FAO people with friends that just stopped contacting them abruptly.

It's because of TSR. They must have found out you was on here and decided to stop talking to you because they're registered on a rival forum and don't want to mix with the likes of TSRers. It's nothing personal. I did it myself, back when I was a 'digital spy' man and found someone I knew on 4chan, a rival forum, I cut contact. Sounds ridiculous, but, you have new friends, your forum friends and I'm not betraying them. Hope this helps.
