It still hasn't been updated.
What's Frank doing?
I hope he's feeling okay!

I love this website. Some of the secrets are so inspiring. PostSecret has been part of my Sunday routine for well over a year now.



I love this secret. It gives me the chills knowing that someone can confide in a man that they've never met before. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be Frank, and to be sent secrets by strangers who have so much trust in you. A beautiful site by a great man.

I hope Frank is okay and that he updates tomorrow... It has been my Sunday ritual for over a year to check out the new secrets, as well, and I need my fix! I save my favorite secrets, mainly the ones that could have been written by me, in a special, hidden folder. One day, when I'm brave enough, I'll share them with someone.

Someone actually called the police in his hometown. He is fine. He went on vacation.

Wow. "Some guy that hosts a blog online didn't post! Can you go [waste orangeskittles's tax dollars] to his house and make sure he's alive?!"

I understand people were worried, but I have to wonder how many of them were actually more concerned about the impact on Post Secrets and their own obsession, rather than for Frank himself. The man had his first vacation in years; give him a break.

No one's blaming him, skittles.

I'm addicted to BroadwaySecrets already. But I have dial-up though, so it's a total b*tch. :/

I ADORE Postsecret, it is also a Sunday ritual of mine. For all of those who want to send a card in, DO IT! It is so liberating to see it posted, honest.

I know no one is saying outright they're "blaming" him, but you have to wonder the sentiments behind some of the people who go to the extreme of calling the police. Do they really care that much about Frank as a person, or do they only care how it impacts Post Secret?

Yes, I'm sure some people only care how it affects PostSecret, but a lot of people have quite a bit of respect for Frank, and actually care about whether he is okay or not.

I sent in a secret once. Though it never made it on the website, it was very freeing.

It's an interesting idea and website, but I find it kind of exploitative, imho.

It's not like he forces people to send in their secrets.

I think he goes through and posts the best secrets. Either the funniest, or most revealing, or whatever, but he doesn't gain anything.

I don't know where the profits go for the books. I'd assume they go back into the website or to charity.

This isn't the first time he's been late.

He's coming to Vegas in April and I can't wait!
