Jim this looks great, and I'm sure it's a wonderful execution. But, I think the idea is a bit flawed. I know that if I got an email asking me to come back, or that I haven't posted in a while, or, a message popped up that warned me that if I didn't post my forum ID would be executed (different script), I'd be a little annoyed. (I hate spam, I hate threats, and I hate begging...)
Now if the email sent some sort of an update on interesting threads that have occurred during that previous predetermined period of time that I was away, I'd find that more interesting, and I'd be more liable to return to read.
Kind of like the old community bulletin of old, but not as involved. Any chance of making an editable email, or, better yet, one that includes, for example, the most popular / recent / viewed whatever threads since the person last visited?? I think that would be really useful.
Awesome script BTW. I think with some additions, it could be a must have for everyone.
