So that’s what that is. I thought he might have been [the OG Cad.](https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Cad_Lackey?file=Cad+lackey+by+toon1990+dc8bha8-414w-2x.png). ---

I miss @k9bfriender. He left because he felt the discussions here were bad for his mental health. I hope he’s doing well, whatever he’s up to. But i miss his perspective. ---

Yeah. Sometimes I found him infuriating; but sometimes I really liked his posts. ---

I’m wondering what happened to @Tranquilis. He hasn’t posted since 2020 when he posted a tribute to @TubaDiva. He joined just five days after I did back in December 2000, and posted regularly until 2017. I always enjoyed his contributions. I hope he’s doing ok. ---

Tranquilis is alive and well and posts to Facebook regularly. I’m not sure why he doesn’t post here, but he’s fine. ---

@Dr.Strangelove has been conspicuously missing for close to a year now. ---

Too bad **Cervaise** isn’t around anymore - always had quality posts. ---

I also wonder what happened to @manhattan. He also last posted in @TubaDiva’s memorial thread, but hasn’t been seen since. ---

Their main posting stopped in 2005. Then there were 4 posts in 2014, one post in 2018, and 4 posts in 2020. So, the absence isn’t exactly surprising. ---

Oh 🤦‍♂️ For some reason the mention of @Cervaise made me think of @manhattan. Maybe because they both were old-timers who predated me on the board. I didn’t realize that @manhattan stopped posting so long ago, and that he only briefly returned due to @TubaDiva’s passing. He was pretty prolific when I joined as well as serving as a moderator for some time. ---

I miss Una Persson and Fierra a lot, and hope they’re safe and okay. Given how horrible their state has been for trans people, I worry a lot. ---

manhattan posted pretty regularly on the Giraffe Boards (as ryevermouthbitters) up until 2020. I miss him as well. ---

> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > Too bad **Cervaise** isn’t around anymore - always had quality posts. Yeah, I’ve always liked him - he’s a pretty consistently value-added poster. But he was here as recently as March and has taken a several years-long break before. I’ve just assumed either his life got complicated or something like the chatter around the Iran War got a little under his skin and he decided to take another, long or short. Hopefully nothing permanent, but sometimes people just need a little time away from that one senescent little corner of the internet. So far I’ve only ever gotten momentarily pissed off enough to take a few days. But you never know. Maybe one of these days I’ll finally discover that up-until-now-mythical last straw and disappear down a rabbit hole for a year or three. Or more likely at my age now, I’ll just stroke out 🙂. ---

I hung out with Manhattan, oddly enough in Manhattan, at a Dopefest about 25 years ago. He’s a good guy. ---

Yes, sadly, **Cervaise** decided to leave after the Iran war chatter turned toxic. We DM’d about it a little. I hope he’ll decide to come back at some point. ---

I was thinking the other day about @Heart_of_Dorkness, who was always thoughtful and funny and I dunno for some reason I felt a kinship with her. Turns out it’s been seven years since her last post, which was a [delightfully groanworthy pun](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-gonna-be-for-halloween/841888/62). ---
