I miss **av8rmike**. He doesn’t post as much as he used to.

So many of the people here, especially **harmless** , but I also miss **iampunha**.

Not really, it was more his style I enjoyed than anything. I found his obscure writing and convolutedness entertaining.

That’s who I was going to mention. Who will run nekkid through our threads? ☹

To expand that thought, he would post some obscure bit, the point of which was never quite apparent. People would chime in trying to make sense of it. He would respond with more obscuity that made some logical sense in a strange way and he could suck the entire board into a “WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT” rage, getting everyone all worked up over nothing.

I always read his stuff, but never got caught up in it. I found it amusing to sit back and watch him stir the hornets nest.

Apparantly she changed her name.

I miss **Tars Tarkas** and **Kn(\*)ckers**, two fellow obsessive Trekker nerds. And **London Calling**.

Hey Mo, where is **Jaade** anyways? She hasn’t been on the other internets either for a while.

As for **Iampunha** , didn’t someone else take up the nekkid MPSIMS posts in his place?

**Forbin** is still a member, last time I checked anyways, but he sure doesn’t post in any threads I’ve been reading lately.

I also miss **Bad Astronomer** and **Dougie Monty**.  
I should probably just run a search on some of these names, see if there’s any recent activity, but I find myself strangely lazy today.

I’ve been wondering about her and recently did a search, too. Sims threads (and many others) just aren’t the same without her! I hope she’s well.

I just e-mailed **harmless**. Haven’t gotten an e-mail from her in ages, either.

**Thaidog.** Sometimes when I need a laugh I go back to the “Rock in the box” thread. It always works.

And there was **Satisfying Andy Licious** (somehow that doesn’t look right)…for some reason I remember him as starting some thread about “Who ordered the Phoenix?”

Liscious?

Hmmm…

**Bad News Baboon**

**Slainte**

and many of the ones already mentioned.  
There were three others that I _thought_ were dearly departed, but they’ve just been hanging out in the pit.

Busy, busy, busy. New job, new man, the kids were moving back in (last I heard). Leaves her precious little time for the rest of us. I need to call her.

She is now apparently **tiny ham**.

As i just said in another thread, i really think there should be a thread in ATMB, maybe a sticky, where this sort of stuff is announced. All the name changes get a little hard to keep track of, and it becomes rather annoying after a while trying to figure out why you’ve never before noticed the person with 5,000+ posts.

A lot of these people have drifted either to the Unaboard or to Livejournal. So you might still be able to track them down on the internets.
