I miss **Inigo Montoya** and **Super Kapowzler**. Quite the characters. Mainly, I miss **Sefton**. He used to be so sane and composed, and now look at him. ---

Most of the ones I miss are deceased and remembering makes me sad so we’ll skip that list. I miss the days when **Tuba Diva** was active as a poster and MOD. And I’ve missed **Garden Traveler** as well. I know both still lurk to some degree; I wish both posted more. ---

I miss **Brutus**. One of our more conservative posters, who had a working sense of humor. He left when we went pay-to-post. I emailed him shortly after, offering to pay for his membership, but he declined. I guess he was tired of the board. ---

**Voyager** - hasn’t posted since October. **Karl Gauss** - hasn’t posted since September **Le Ministre de l’Au-délà** - pops in occasionally, but work keeps him busy **Captain Ridley’s Shooting Party** - hasn’t posted for a year or more. **Hypnogogic Jerk** - left several years ago - I think because of comments in a heated thread about Canada and Quebec. ---

**Jurph**. He wrote the funniest post I’ve ever read on any internet forum (see “Let’s assign a “group roleplaying scenario” where the rest of the team can BLOW ME” (2006) if you can find it). I’m not positive he is gone from SDMB, but I haven’t seen a post from him in a long time. ---

**Spice Weasel** , without a doubt. She’s been off the boards for a couple months now and she used to be a prolific poster. Additionally, her Facebook page has been deleted. I’m seriously worried about her as she (probably unbeknownst to her) helped me through some of the most difficult times of my life and now seems to have no online presence. Also, **melodyharmonius**. She was just plain awesome. She’s been gone for a couple years now I think. **Anaamika** , naturally. I have her on Facebook and while she posts there infrequently I know all is well with her. Although I do miss her posting here—such a wonderful, intelligent person. And I wish **Marley** would get his ban-happy ass back here and post once in a while. Someone said somewhere that he still posts in the mod loop, but a fat lot of good that does us. We need another nuking just to shake us up a bit and get us talking about something other than Trump. ---

+1 for many of the names you guys have mentioned. And of course I miss **Skald the Rhymer** —has anyone heard from him lately? And **C K Dexter Haven** , who was the Right Hand of the Master until he rode off into the sunset. And **twickster**. And **ultrafilter**. And (going way back) **jarbabyj**. Not to mention all the beloved Dopers who have left, not just the Board, but this earth. ---
