> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > No, I meant he fucks around a lot and has kids everywhere. Yeah, I figured it was something like that. I even googled the quote to see where it came from. Now I know it’s from South Park. But your post made me think of the “King is dead” quote, so I posted it. ---

John Mace’ll be all around in the dark - John Mace’ll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there’s a fight, so hungry people can eat, John Mace’lJohn MaceI’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready, and when the people are eatin’ the stuff they raise and livin’ in the houses they build - John Mace’ll be there, too. ---

> [@kambuckta](#): > > Bricker and Foggy are also MIA. IIR…uh, sorry…If I remember correctly, **Bricker** mentioned that he was going to take a bit of a sabbatical from the board. This was, what, maybe six months or so ago? Kudos to him as well for not posting a foot-stamping “I’m gonna leave and you’ll all be sorry!” Pit thread. Anybody heard anything of **Trinopus**? I always enjoyed his/her posts. **Princhester** , too, but he just popped up a few days ago to say “Oi’m not dead yet!” ---

I’m afraid **Becky2844** may have actually died. We were PMing and she said that she had minor surgery the next morning. She never replied after that. Her last activity was the next day, and nothing since then. ---
