Another vote here for **collounsbury** , whose insights and analyses are still spot-on - on a blog site that’s easily Googleable, as well as on Wikipedia. He’s back in good health, or so he reports. T’heck with **december** , i wanna know what _ **milossarian** _ thinks about Iraq’s WMD’s these days. ---

I miss **celestina**. She was cool. Also **Eve** and **collounsbury**. It looks to me like **Eve** just takes sabbaticals from here once in a while so I have hope of her eventual return. ---

[QUOTE=Hakuna Matata] Sauron I know he and his wife are still members, but I don’t think he has posted for awhile. I miss his threads like this one > **[I stood next to the Emperor of the World at McDonald's!](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=152737)** > > Or at least, if it wasn’t him, he seemed to think it was. So I’m standing in line with the rest of the herd at Mickey D’s today at lunch. It’s a little more crowded than usual; each line to order is about five people deep. There are three registers... [/QUOTE] You woke him up! He [posted](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8596016&postcount=18) the day after your post. The OP you linked to was indeed a classic. I miss **FinnAgain** , who is still a member, but hasn’t posted since December. ---

For me it was neurotrashgirl (that might not be exactly correct) and purplecrackwhore. Just because I thought they had two of the coolest names out there. ---

Quite a few of my favorite departed Dopers have already been mentioned, so i’ll just chime in with: **World Eater** He’s still a member, but doesn’t post much anymore. Probably busy. **erislover** I didn’t always agree with him, but more often than not he made interesting and smart contributions, and was lots of fun to have in a discussion. **Mockingbird** I know he rubbed a few people the wrong way, but i always liked him. I also miss the wing-nuts (meant in a generous spirit) from both sides of the political fence, like **Aldebaran** , **Reeder** , **december** , **milroyj** , etc. They might have been infuriating at times, but they were fun to have around. I’m on record, i think, opposing all of those bannings. And despite the fact that he’s only just left, i already miss **MGibson**. I missed his departure thread initially, and only just noticed it. If you’re still reading, i’m sorry you’ve left. ---

[QUOTE=Tuckerfan] **TN\*Hippie** [/QUOTE] Second that. He could always be counted on for limericks and haiku. My guess is he’s got some business going with the state of Tennessee, if you know what I mean. ---

This thread makes me realize how little I’m actually poring over threads anymore these days. I have an incredible amount of respect for **Fenris** , based on his Heinlein knowledge. And I’m torn on **Zenster**. Having met the man in person… but I did appreciate his recipe’s thread. **Welfy** was my first SD crush, and shes’ moved on to LJ almost exclusively. We comment on each other, every now and again. **Tequila Mockingbird** was another lady whom I had a pretty severe case of lust for. And she was friendly too, which was nice. ---

Gabriela - I clicked with her sense of humor. I had a question I wanted to ask a couple day’s ago and thought to myself she’d know the answer. I don’t know what happened with her. ChiefScott - I and many other’s liked his dialog. I don’t really know why he disapeared, because I was gone for for a few years being to ill to use the boards. He disapeared about the time I returned. I won’t get the signature right. - IAMTHEGODCOWMOO - The older posters will know who I mean. ---

[QUOTE=ivylass] **Master Wang-ka**. I don’t know if he’s still a member or not, but his stories were up there with **Sampiro** and **Cervaise** and **Scylla**. As in, peeing in your pants rolling on the floor gut-busting funny. [/QUOTE] Ditto that! ---

Sorry for bumping this up but I read every post in it and didn’t see this guy mentioned yet. I really miss **Scott Plaid** , actually, and I was really surprised when I once checked his profile just to see he was a guest. No idea why he didn’t re-up. Sure he was a pain in a lot of Dopers’ necks early on but he seemed to be one of those that adapted over time and became fairly well liked. I know I did.
