Every so often I wonder what’s happened to some regular posters who’ve just stopped posting.
For instance, Villa used to post a lot, but hasn’t logged in for over a year.
Hope he’s alright. I miss his posts.
I worry about Phlospher. He hasn’t answered emails.
Scotticher sent me baby presents when I gave birth to my eldest son. I used to see her around but apart from (IIRC) popping up in Opal’s goodbye thread, she hasn’t been on in ages.
Whatever happened to lel?

melodyharmonious. Member, always happy or funny posts, then a couple years ago… poof. Gone. I see she made two quick posts this year but still. Something happened, and the boards are aren’t the same now that she’s gone.
Scotticher is an angel.
Sad that Jodi decided to move on too.
I wonder how **jjimm **is doing?
Also, labdude, who wrote about his cancer, and hasn’t posted in a long time.
From my original time here I also liked cosmopolitan, she’s never been back on my current go here.
I really liked **IvyLass **but she vanished at some point a couple years back. She’d had a cancer scare while she was here, which worried me, but I see she’s still quite active on SparkPeople and was recently interviewed on SP Radio (within the last week or so).
Ivy felt the board had grown too hostile to conservatives for her comfort; she PMed me (and several others, I’m sure) a goodbye.
I agree. I don’t remember the interaction in detail, but we had one via email in my early days on the Dope, and she is just a delightful person through and through.
I’m in touch with a couple of lapsed Dopers, on Facebook and in real life.
I wonder what ever happened to SwimmingRiddles.
Scotticher is alive and well and posting on my message board as a Moderator. She has sort of taken a step back from online interactions in general.
…hadn’t seen Lobsang for a while, but he popped back into General Questions for a couple of posts this year (as well as a few last year.).
And whatever happened to FlamsteretteX? Girl was all over these forums like a cheap suit at one time.
Many thanks for this update, Una, good to know and please give her our best.
Yes, and I really got the sense she could handle the overall tone but there were a few attackers in particular that took it to an ugly level and that’s why she left. They’ve taken something from us all.
This is why I can’t begin to discuss anything related to politics in a public forum. I don’t see any good coming from it. I say the same for religion, and football.
I remember her from back when and I am sorry to hear something as simple as political discourse can be enough to drive someone from a community.
This is perhaps the saddest thing I have read today, so far.
Wow…somehow I missed that Q.E.D. had passed…I’m way out of the loop on that one. I had sort of in the back of my mind wondered why I hadn’t seen him in a while.
