Whenever I look around for favorite threads from the past, it strikes me how many longtime posters aren’t around anymore; some have been banned, some didn’t survive the pay-to-post conversion, and some have probaly just gotten distracted (or gotten a life). So who do y’all miss who isn’t around anymore? (And please, I’d like this to stay in IMHO, so no slamming people who aren’t around to defend themselves.) ---

I’ve been wondering what happened to **harmless**. A quick search shows that she hasn’t posted since January, and even before then I wasn’t seeing her online nearly as much as in the past. Personally, I’m thinking Sims 2 is to blame. Or having a life…whichever. ---

I really miss **Collounsbury**. He deserved his banning, but he was sure informed about MENA issues and evolution… I also miss **oldscratch** (he of the TMI) and **Satan** was also a lot of fun – fun from the Prince of Darkness in two incarnations, apparently. Among the funniest posts I ever read on SDMB were posted by **Homer**. ---

I miss **Master Wang-Ka**. And **Reeder** , if you can believe that. We shared an interest in old cars, of all things. ---

And here I thought this thread was going to be about **Persephone, poohpah chalupa, Padeye**. . . ☹ (Bad luck for Dopers starting with P, I guess . . .) ---

> [@trublmakr](#): > > Whatever happened to **Sanguine Spider**? No activity in… jeez, a year and a half?!? And no posts since July '04. She’s listed as a guest now, so I guess she chose not to renew for whatever reason. Too bad. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > I miss **Master Wang-Ka**. And **Reeder** , if you can believe that. Me too, on both counts. I would also really like it if **erislover** were still around. I’m sure there are others, and i’ll come back if i think of them, but those were the first that came to mind. ---

> [@edwino](#): > > I really miss **Collounsbury**. He deserved his banning, but he was sure informed about MENA issues and evolution… He’s a regular contributer to a MENA blog called Aqoul, if you really want to read his current thoughts on affairs in the Middle East. He’s as opinionated and rude as ever. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > I miss **Master Wang-Ka**. And **Reeder** , if you can believe that. We shared an interest in old cars, of all things. **Master Wang-Ka** was precisely whom I came into this thread to mention. I even miss **Reeder**. Since he’s been accused of being my [sister](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5695038&postcount=2). Looking at that link, I want to add **gobear** to the list of those I miss. ---

> [@Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor](#): > > I had a crush on her. My first Internet crush. IIRC she and hubby were trying for a baby. I suppose things got busy if everything worked out. FWIW, Collounsbury is going through cancer treatment right now. Not sure what kind of anything ( cancer or treatment) and that is hardly any excuse for rudeness, but the man did know his shit. ---

**jmullaney** , but I think he was frustrated about things and may be better off not posting. Unless he has changed his name and I missed it! Hi Joel! ---
