[QUOTE=jali] I am in AWE of your memory! [/QUOTE] That’s funny, because I’m thinking of all the people I missed. I look at the other posts here or a quick look at the thread pages show me I missed a ton I should have gotten. ---

[QUOTE=ShibbOleth] There are quite a few more just on the tip of my tongue, and some of the above are obviously no longer around. Also, I know that there are a few folks that I really, really like/admire that got missed here due to mental blockage (I need some brain bran). Most annoying are folks I can picture, but can’t put a name to. [/QUOTE] You know what I find really interesting about your list? Following your thought process and seeing which files are next to which in your brain. You start out with Administrators and then Moderators and then…storytellers, I think, and then, I’m not sure, maybe MMPers, and then you go alphabetical for a bit with the O’s, and so on. Some of the associations make sense to me and some don’t, but it’s just so cool to try and figure out. \*\*Diosa \*\*and I, I’m sure, came from your mental file labeled _Gorgeous Buxom Dopetresses_, right? 😃 ---

wow, you people have much better memory than I do! I’ve been here for a while, and lurked for more, and while I know what a poster is like when I see there name in a thread, I doubt I could recall any! the only ones popping in my head are; Diogensis the Cynic or DtC for short because I’m sure I butchered that name! And Shibb0leth because it reminds me of a West Wing episode and I think of that everytime I see his/her name. ---

After Moderators we get into some of the folks who were notable from 2001, when I first started out here, my “anchor names” if you will. Then Jonathan Chance through White Lightning are Dopers I know through online Diplomacy, then SenorBeef is running the NFL pick’em stuff, then some of the original MMP crowd, who I’ve also met IRL, with some random word association mixed in for good measure (Swampbear begets Ice Wolf and Mama Tiger), then a few more I’ve met in Florida, some more people their names remind me of, and it kind of bounces around from there. I did do an alphabetic, who am I missing thing for a bit. I even considered alpahbetizing my list so no one would see my associations and possibly be freaked out, but glad I left it for your amusement. Gigi, who I recall is good with film trivia and some of the games I’ve been around in that, begat Diosa (Italian feminine) and yours came out of that because I actually thought at that point: “Gigi -\> DiosaB… Why not?” Spooje made me think of Spoofe and Anastaseon (penis ensues). Hope she finds that amusing. I’ve met and or had offboard correspondence with just under 70 of the people on my list, probably about 40 of those I’ve met IRL at Dopefests or one on one. I left off a couple of names that I remember but they are no longer with us. ---

I’m shit at remembering actual names, so mostly identify posters by what I mutter after reading one of their posts. Off hand: Twat. God, what a moron. Kill yourself. What the hell are you posting that dumb shit for? Idiot. Do you have someone that looks after you? Are you special or summut? Hah! Don’t breed. You mucky little fuckpig. Blah, blah, blah. I’d do you. Shut up. Pillock. You really thought it was a good idea to post that? Take yer meds, loonie. Piss off and Google summut. Hang on, I thought they were a bird! Hang on, I thought they were a bloke! Yay! Dick-waving! Prat. Okay, that’s just mad. Ouch! (normally reserved for one of jjimm’s puns) There’s rational. There’s lots more. They tend to be a bit sweary. ---

I’ve been in 5 mafia games and I’m still being forgotten? ☹ I’m going to look at the bright side of that. At least I wasn’t enough of an A-hole to be remembered for that alone, so I guess that’s good. 🙂 I think my own list would be long as hell, maybe if I have a few spare hours I’ll compose one.
