Is John Mace dead?

Last post was in early December, last time lurking was in early January. Does anyone know if he died or went to prison or something?

And that’s why they call you ‘Happy’.

‘Did John Mace go to prison or something?’ would have been less ghoulish.

I like “Is John Mace on Sabbatical in Tibet?”

Somebody PM somebody. I need to know.

(DZ, call the sheriff’s office)

Trapped under a heavy bookcase. Keyboard just inches from his reach, desperately trying to post.

Bricker and Foggy are also MIA.

He’s at a beautiful, beautiful…uh…farm…uh…upstate, with lots of green grass to run around on, and other message board posters to play with, and stuff.

Now I will feel kind of bad if it turns out this is anything other than a case of “He just got tired of putting up with all of our shit”, whether temporarily or permanently.

Great. Now you’re all creeping me out.

Meh. Turns out we’re all just bots except for… you!

How old was he?

But lots of us migrate from one forum to another.

Maybe he was transported to 19th century Australia and made a new life there.

There’s something to be said for disappearing oneself without making an angst-filled Pit thread to announce it first.

W.P.P., maybe?

Listen, when I say “hello Mr. Thompson” and stamp on your foot, you nod your head. Got it?

Quicksilver vanished last year too. Maybe they just grew bored with us.

It’s OK to write out what you mean.* You can still sit with the cool kids. :):):smiley:

It’s customary to spell out acronyms before using them. In the last ten years or so there’ve been more and more people skipping that step, even on the SDMB (perhaps they think they impress by knowing acronyms?)
*And you did soon after the quoted post

I’ve used it before. I think I heard it here first, don’t quote me on that, coulda been somewhere else. Sorry for the confusion.

I think he’s talking to you.

In a moment of cosmic irony he was maced in a john. (Not the spray kind, the spikey kind.) (The spikey kind of mace, not the spikey kind of john.)
