Who do you miss most, of the people who've left?

Oh, for the good old days, when Paulson was still a twerp, Russ was Russ, and Polgara was thought to be female...

LOL

I would love to read that esp the part about Adul being the father of earkers baby.

Sometimes I wish Paulson hadn't reformed his ways.

Good times.

On the way to fetching lunch I thought of two others

NetworkDad - formerly NccOps he's busy with his new house and family but damn did he forget about us

Rio Rebel - had some awesome posts in Hot Deals on digital cameras, printers and rechargeable batteries.

My choice too. I was thinking about her 9/11 poem this week, it was so beautiful. I'm glad I saved it.

i wanna see...

I saved it too.

Should have posted it last week, but I had forgotten about this poem:

The Two Towers

The terror strikes, a sudden blinding flash
Of airborne fire, a rending, roaring crash,
A deafening thunderrush that shakes the city,
And the world watches, frozen numb with pity.
In furnace-blasts along the reeling air,
The sky goes black and crimson with the glare.
This we will remember:
Rains of ash storms roiling
Like blizzards in September,
Clouds of blackhearted flames boiling,
Twisted steel and splintered glass seas.
But although we weep today,
This has not brought us to our knees
Except to pray.

I missed myself, so I came back. Then I found that... that I had never really left, y'know? That a part of me... *sniff*... a part of me was always here... WITH me. And that when one finds themselves... then... *sniff*... then they trully have found love. *sob*

So I gave myself a big hug... and told myself how special I am. Then I got carried away and woke up the next morning... WITH MYSELF.

I HAD SLEPT WIH MYSELF!

Now I think I'm pregnant... and I don't know if I can look myself in the eye anymore.

Texmaster, Wduaqnug and Jerboi.

NO.

Well, maybe Jerboy because it was fun to berate him.

I got a couple new punching bags on here though so it's all cool.

(just quit posting or couldn't post at jobs anymore or wha?)

tex got perm banned

He got pissed at a liberal, and decided to porn spam them(with gay porn none the less, I think).:Q He was "matched up" after the IP of the "spammer" matched up with Tex's IPs.

I was told that Perk's wife had died after a sudden illness. They were practically newlyweds. I can see how that would make a person withdraw from the hurlyburly of an Internet forum.

AnandTalk: The Gossip Gazette

The sun is rising on a typical day in Offtopicana, a suburb of the busy metropolis AnandTown. Mayor Russ is chain-smoking (using real chains!) while preparing for his impeachment hearing, after having been accused of understanding Moonbeam.

Red Dawn is spending a leisurely hour at the spa, enjoying an esteem bath while having his fangs sharpened and his vitriol tank refilled, unaware that his arch-enemy Texmaster is plotting to destroy him by boring him to death.

In the afternoon, sexy shenanigans reach a crescendo (what is that 'fapping' sound???) as Perknose, happykitten, baffled2, hzl_eyed_grl, and the late Thunderbooty engage in a public flirting exhibition, only to be upstaged by the last-minute entry of Jerboy, whose arrival causes the audience to stampede for the exits, injuring many, including Jerboy himself. He will be OK as soon as his swollen ego goes down (unlikely.)

Gossip abounds regarding eakers' new baby. Rumors say that the child may have been fathered by everybody. However, the pink-haired, nekkid infant bears a distinct resemblance to Adul (who, in a startling revelation, may not be a woman after all.) There is shocking news that Paulson and Hubbs were switched at birth; the always diplomatic and wise Harvey suggests that the situation can be remedied by cutting them in half, then reassembling the pieces and changing their usernames to Haulson and Pubbs.

The AnandTech Moderators decide to crack down on posts that promote copyright violation, drug use, sexual themes, and personal attacks, and the subsequent drastic downsizing of the forums results in massive moderatorial layoffs. The one remaining Mod is required to be The Fun Mod, The Mean Mod, and The Watchful Mod all at once. The stress causes him to fall into modness, and the poor fellow is carted off to the modhouse, shrieking "Ban 'em into the Stone Age!"

The sun is setting now in Offtopicana, and the cool evening is punctuated by intermittent cries of "pics!" Occasionally you can hear a nonexistent Fusetalk Forum bug droning amid the steady buzz of nefs nattering about religion, LOTR, cars, politics, Bruce Lee vs Coke, and butter. As we settle in for the night, we hear the comforting sound of threads being locked, to keep the trolls out. All is well in AnandTown, where the deals are hot, the dudes are cool, and the women are above average (all eight of them.) Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the Best Buy bite.

~~~~~
A tip of the Wombat Hat to the inimitable Russ, whose wonderful thread As The ATOT Turns got my creative juices flowing so copiously that I may need to buy some creative Depends.

 

[SWScorch]

BTW, that "e" guy's name was elledan I believe

 

[Pigasus]

Elledan was a corker. I disagreed with almost everything he said, but I must admit that he was intelligent and presented his arguments well. I thought it was ridiculous for him to be banned for having been rude to Christians, when rudeness to Christians is so well tolerated on this board when other people express it.

 

[Pigasus]

A few people I'd like to see posting more often:

Netopia
Athanasius
UG
yawmark
Thom
Zap

And there used to be some really great women on this board (there still are a few, of course!) Anyone remember PretendHer? HorB? BettyBoop? Gage? CougarMadCat?

He went way beyond rude. I don't miss him a bit.

 

texmaster was fun to flame.

 

[abracadabra1]

Don't really miss much...but compuwiz1 and Elita1 were a great help to everyone in the AT community.

 

[PowerMacG5]

texmaster and Wduaqnug. What really happened to Wduaqnug (and don't give me the obligatory "He had sh!t for brains answer". I want to know what really happened to him)?

EDIT: Also, whatever happened to imtim86? That guy always weirded me out by the way he was afraid of anything and everything.

 

[thawolfman]

Haven't seen Rallispec in a while...

I still converse with most of those mentioned and I can tell why they left. The stupidity of the younger wankers who became members.

I'm not surprised to hear that. I hardly ever come here myself because of the screeching kiddie problem. I wish there were two OT forums, one for the older folk (and youngsters who know how to behave) and the other for the wankers to romp around in. OT and OT Lite.

You got that right.

I wonder if Zuni can build a time travel function into FuseTalk?
