She has me worried. Libraries reopened, and still no posts from **Annie-Xmas** , I hope she’s OK. ---

@Leo_Bloom and @kobal2 are two others who have not posted in a long time. **Leo** posts from New York and **kobal2** from France, both areas which were hard hit by covid back in the spring. Hope they’re alright. ---

I miss Annamika and Skald. I also miss The Grapist from way back. I don’t recall if he got banned or just wandered away but I enjoyed his completely random, run-on sentence tales and went on forever but were somehow hilarious nonetheless. ---

I don’t recall if he got banned or just wandered away but I enjoyed his completely random, run-on sentence tales and went on forever but were somehow hilarious nonetheless. I think you may be confusing @The_Grapist with someone else. Alas, there does not seem to be a way of Graping posts on Discourse. ---

That’s quite possible. It has been a long, long time. For some reason I thought he was the guy that wrote those long, rambly posts in MPSIMS that made no sense but were funny. Though now that you mention it, I do remember him grape-bombing many a thread, especially in the pit. That was entertaining, too. Sometimes. ---

> [@not\_what\_you\_d\_expect](#): > > I haven’t seen a post by Monstro in awhile. I hope she’s well. There was some heated give-and-take in a couple of threads about transgenderism a couple of months ago, in which her sister (YWTF / You With The Face) and she were both involved. it looks like she hasn’t posted here since then. ---

> [@overlyverbose](#): > > For some reason I thought he was the guy that wrote those long, rambly posts in MPSIMS that made no sense but were funny. This could possibly describe several posters. Maybe you’re thinking of @Super_Kapowzler? [He was mentioned above in this thread.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whos-missing-that-you-really-want-to-see-on-the-board/914010/291) Here’s one randomly selected example: > [@I am never dreaming again. Ever.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-am-never-dreaming-again-ever/578299): > > Dear Bitches. ‘Been a long time, how’s it hangin’? So I pretty much had the most disturbing dream I have evar had, and therefore have forsaken shit like dreaming. Aw, man…I mean this fucker is really hard to tell, even in this vein, (keep in mind, the “long-distance booty call”, arrives in 24hrs, and I promised ribeyes and king crab, but I still haven’t bought any furniture in the new house and shit, so I gotta borrow a card-table and some folding chairs and shit…), just harvested 3 of my 5 p… @The_Grapist, on the other hand, was a one-trick pony whose one trick was stupid, yet some of us inexplicably found it funny, myself included. ---

I’m so glad I’m not the only person who found it funny. I mean, yeah, it was annoying in that way your siblings are annoying but at least it was predictable and generally harmless. And yeah, Kopowzler might have been the guy. I thought it was someone else, but that text looks about right. I swear, I’m getting old. Or maybe I’ve been a member for too long. Can’t believe I’ve been a member or guest here longer than my children have been alive. ---

Agree on hoping **monstro** returns. I always liked reading **even\_sven** ’s accounts of living and traveling in Africa. Her experiences and impressions were always thought-provoking. Last post was several years ago. ---

Too bad that we’ve lost **jarbabyj** ([banned for socking](https://sdmb.livejournal.com/339052.html), then much later passed away, IIRC due to suicide). I can’t say I exactly respected her, though she was pretty entertaining, and she had one of the most memorable usernames of anyone on the boards. ---

She’s not dead. You might be thinking of **OpalCat** , and that wasn’t suicide, either.
