I’ve been basically AWOL for a couple of years. I stopped back to check in on you guys to make sure you’re all behaving (not so much) and I noticed that some of the more “special” of us have moved on. Dio? Liberal? Add your own former prominent (by post count, not post quality - knew you’d ask) poster here and please include whether or not you know why they left. Thanks… ---

Dio was banned, but you can usually find him hanging out over at Giraffe’s board (as Ken S.). ---

Kythereia and Miss Purl McKnittington were two posters whose posts I enjoyed. They both show up every once in a while but not as often as they used to. I don’t think Anastaseon comes around any more either. I used to always lament the absence of Eve in these sorts of threads but yea she has returned and there has been much rejoicing, let me tell you. ---

**Liberal** stated he was leaving in order to spend time writing a book on “The Esthetical Jesus.” ---

I seen that [Liberal](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) hasn’t been active for over a year, since 07-30-2010. and his location is given as “gone”. I also see that in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=556107) he mentions having a heart attack and writing a book; he posted after that thread a few times though. EDIT: As **Colibri** mentions. ---

He better not be competing with my own master work “Jesus, Feng Shui, and You” ---

I’m disappointed, **Darth Panda**. I thought the title was, “Jesus! Feng Shui And You?” Still, I’ll be scouring the book shops when it’s out. With my Luo Pan Compass and Dimension Tape. ---

**Diogenes the Banned** is gone, and fondly missed. Likewise I always really enjoyed reading posts by **Uncommon Sense** , but alas he seems to have disappeared as well. ---

Pay 2 Post changed the boards forever, even tho it’s now gone. Other people just got bored with the board. Some got tired of the “Same Old Thing” happening over and over. And yet others let real life creep in on them (how DARE they?). There’s also some who used to be extremely prolific posters who still post, just not nearly as much, perhaps for some of the reasons listed above. ---
