I miss

Liberal and SentientMeat.
That’s all. And you?

You just need to lead them a little and then you won’t miss as often.

Damn I’m behind on this stuff!

Where the hell did Liberal go?

I miss scott evil, as I’ve said before. And although the poster’s not missing, I never seem to run into **Duck Duck Goose’s **posts anymore, but I don’t know why.

I thought Liberal just changed his handle. It gets kinda hard to keep track of these things after a while.

Personally, I miss manhattan - I rarely agreed with him, but he was intelligent and entertaining.

I miss Roger Thornhill.

I miss Sampiro.

I will second **Sampiro ** and I especially miss Winston Smith.

Winston Smith just came back today.

add that to my list…liberal, manhattan and sentientmeat.

Of course, the forum placement of this thread prevents responsible opposing viewpoints from being presented.

That is pretty Funny. I link my post over to his thread. :smiley:

**Sampiro ** just posted in a thread today, I think the halloween pictures one. Hopefully it’s a sign he’s ready to wade back into our morass.

I don’t think I’ve seen Satisfying Andy Licious around for a while. I know there’s a reason for it, but I can really notice **Excalibre’s ** absence too.

I was thinking about one of the “Ask the…” threads today, when I realized that Exprix, the Origingal “Ask the” guy, doesn’t post here anymore.

How sad for us.

I didn’t realize any of these people except Liberal ad Manhattan had stopped posting. When did Esprix, Excalibre, and SentientMeat leave?

Excalibre is on a 1 monh suspension.

I miss chat. The old days of chat, when we’d have dozens of intelligent, witty dopers flinging words around at breakneck speed. When you could follow maybe two or three of the seven or eight conversations going on, if you concentrated really hard. All of the chatters back then are long gone now. This isn’t meant to denigrate the current crop of chatters at all - they’re all great. There are just a lot fewer of us hardheaded, stubborn, refuse-to-give-up-on-it types, and there’s not as much to say any more.

I remember seeing 70-80 dopers in there at a time, and now we’re lucky to get more than three people actually talking instead of just lurking.

jarbabyj most of all, Sampiro right after, and yeah, even vanilla

I didn’t realize Roger T was gone!

He posted a while back that he could no longer post from work, and his child duties at home would severely restrict his posting. I don’t think he has left; we’ll have to see when re-up time rolls around.

I miss him, and **Liberal **as well.

I miss Fudgems.
