Remember a couple summers ago when a person came on claiming to be a parapalegic because she got in a skiiing accident when she was 14. Then she died. Then she didn’t. Then someone found out that she was apparently a dude who was doing this in multiple message boards…

Did we ever officially get an answer to that? I remember it was a huge deal at the time

Does anybody know what happened to **Master Kang-Wa**?  
Years ago, he was one of the best writers to post here.

I don’t know if its right but some Dopers claim it is 14 karats of gold in a Florentine pietra dura.

He disappeared at some point after it was revealed that all his stories were bullshit, if I remember correctly.

What about that poster that was convinced their upstairs neighbor was constantly “following” them from room to room and listening to them through the floor?

I remember someone, probably a young person, signing up to start a thread about relationship problems. The language in the OP was pretty dramatic and a whole bunch of us jumped in with requests for further information and some off-the-cuff advice, but the OP never came back to clarify or explain what happened.

I wonder how that worked out?

According to her diary, she decided she was just being paranoid.

[Whatever happened to Maui Lion?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=501161) He had been in a terrible car accident. His last update was in [June of that year](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=520147), still on the mend, but nothing since.

Committed?

I think then there was some other dude who was insistant that his neighbor was listening to him breathe through the walls and laughing, even hearing him type.

What about that guy who posted here not too long ago about how he was having an affair because his wife was too fat and boring, and never wanted to kiss him, even though he was the ideal husband?

I always wanted to see a collaborative story between him and Scylla. That would have been awesome!

Nothing dramatic, but I’d like to know what cosmopolitan is up to.

I’d kind of like to know what VCO3 is up to, and if he ever got that “have sex with a black woman” thing out of his system and chilled out. I kind of liked that guy, and I hated that he got banned.

Actually I wonder about a lot of that sort of flameout - obviously young males who are going to surely chill the fuck out and be decent people in, like, ten years. Do they ever get it together?

ETA - ooh ooh, remember that guy who was sure that he got gassed in his foreign hotel rooms? Instead of just being exhausted after travel?

Well of COURSE they were bullshit but they were ENTERTAINING bullshit! 😃

**Ogre** is the guy with the DNA problems and the adorable young son. Maybe he’s just busy.

**Sampiro** ’s mother passed a few years ago. Maybe he’d rather not talk about her? Maybe now that his mother is gone he doesn’t have much contact with his maddening sister.

I want to know how **Broomstick** and her husband are doing.

I want to know how **Zsofia** ’s young relatives are doing.

I want to know about the guy who tried very hard to get his boots repaired at a Russian-owned shoe repair. Did we ever have a resolution to that epic tale of shoe repair?

I want to know about **John Carter** ’s eccentric country neighbor who was looking for love in Russia. Did he ever find true love, and does he still allow his bees to sting him when he’s feeling poorly?

Actually someone claiming to be the grapist showed up on the SD facebook page recently. Not sure if he was genuine but I didn’t see any reason he couldn’t be.
