It’s been almost a week now since existing Dopers have had to pay up or ship out, and at least to me it seems awfully quiet around here. What longtime posters have you noticed missing so far, in addition to the ones who said their public goodbyes for various reasons? ---

Much of the legal contingent seems to have gone missing. Bricker, minty green, Dewey, DSYoungEsq, I haven’t noticed any of them. ---

We _have_ lost **DSYoungEsq** , but the other three have all paid up, as has **Jodi**. - Tamerlane ---

You know, there is a list where you can see who’s a Charter Member and who isn’t, but is registered as a guest and whatnot.

That’s what it says for me, as well. I could have sworn she was still around. It says last activity was 04/29/04. ---

Has anyone seen **Cecil Adams** post since the switch? If so, what does it say under his username? Charter Member, Ultimate Master, SDASB, Supreme Being: which is it? ---

I know you’re pregnant and all and probably craving all sorts of weird stuff, and I was thinking of doing a Derby pie, but hey, if I have time I may do more than one. Any requests? (No pickle-and-ice-cream pies, please.) ---
