Which DU old-timers who don't post at DU anymore do you miss?

[Maddy McCall]

To stay within DU's rules, I'm not asking about banned posters, but about DUers who by their own choice don't post here anymore.

I can think of one specific DUer--I was reminded of him today--that I really miss.

What about you? Who do you miss?

[Zomby Woof]

1. ZombyWoof

Or at least, the ZW we all knew and loved. Not the de-fanged, boring variety. ;-)

[Maddy McCall]

3. Yeah, you are quite vanilla these days!

Hey, you! What are you doing? Did you get the role in the play for which you auditioned?

:7

[Zomby Woof]

5. I posted a big thread over a week ago!

Harumph! ;-)

[Maddy McCall]

20. I had the flu, and was also nursing a son through the flu....

so my posting on DU was hit and miss. So, did you get the part???

[Zomby Woof]

25. Well...

I said I posted a big thread. Now, even if you missed it, don't you think I would not mention a "big thread" if I didn't get it? :P

See my sig line for a clue. :P

(Thought I would post like the old ZW for nostalgia's sake)

You probably missed my huge thread last week about my scary auto accident. :o

[Maddy McCall]

No, sweetie! I replied to the auto accident thread.

And I told you that you needed to get checked, that sometimes trauma can mask injuries. I am glad that you are ok!

You must be, because you are ridin' my ass! Now that's the OLD Zomby ... :-)

[Zomby Woof]

29. What can I say?

It's a nice ass! :P

I remember now! Yes, I went to the doctor, and I am okay, other than my back is giving me some pain. Aleve and a massage will do me nicely.

My blood pressure and my EKG were great! (They did the EKG to test for heart stress). :hi: :loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

37. Hey, that's great!

But be careful with your back. Back injuries can sneak up on you and now show up until the weirdest moment.

Glad you have a healthy heart...that's good news.

Are you using a rental car until yours is repaired, or will yours be able to be repaired?

[Zomby Woof]

39. Have a rental right now

The body shop my insurance company works with is so booked up, the appointment to make the estimate is tomorrow. :-(

Will find out what happens then I guess.

[Catshrink]

100. What auto accident?????

I totally missed that. Hope you're okay, ZW. This won't affect your acting, will it?

[cally]

2. Many

I don't want to name them because I'll forget some but I miss many. I wish they would come back. I've taken to looking for them on other sites.

[liberalnurse]

4. AWD,

Cheswick for starters. There use to be this chef who use to post recipes each day....Paco or something like that......

[Tweed]

9. pacoyogi?

[liberalnurse]

33. pacoyogi

is still posting .....but that is not the name I recall who was the chef. They use to do it every morning.

[Tweed]

36. Pacoman696? pacosyd?

Just going off the profiles with paco as the name. They should really hear about the Cooking & Baking Forum.

[Blue_State_Elitist]

6. Sweet Zombie Jesus

and Terwilliger

[HEyHEY]

64. I heard SWJ is on another baord

[lumberingbear]

7. I haven't seen Short Bus President around lately???

[JimmyJazz]

10. He's busy.

[miss_kitty]

45. hmm

I wonder why

[JimmyJazz]

47. Don't make me get my posts deleted!

:P

[miss_kitty]

49. I was posting to the post above, sweetie!

:D (#7)

[JimmyJazz]

53. I know, but it falls under

"lead us not into temptation..." :P

[miss_kitty]

62. wellllll......thank Jeebus that other thread was locked before I

got to that post with :eyes:

[lumberingbear]

57. You guys are making it sound fishey!!!

??????????????????????????//

[miss_kitty]

63. I know. It's pretty mean

isn't it?:evilgrin:

[iconoclastic cat]

8. Moonbeam Starlight.

Whatever happened to her?

[bigwillq]

11. Yeah, I miss her!

Does anyone know what she's been up to? I know she gets busy.

[Tweed]

12. You could always send her a PM or maybe she changed her name

Send her a PM, check up on her.

[Misunderestimator]

14. I second that.

:)

[GOPisEvil]

16. She posts under another name now.

However, out of respect for her privacy, I will let her let you know who she is now.

[JohnKleeb]

108. If you PM me, I'll tell you about Moonbeam

You guys just gotta keep your eyes peeled.

[SmileyBoy]

13. leftist_rebel1569 and YoungLiberal

Whatever the hell happened to those two???

[Zomby Woof]

15. YoungLiberal16 is now ZoCrowes

He did the name change during the amnesty. He has been on quite a bit.

[SmileyBoy]

18. Thanks for letting me know.

I changed my name during the amnesty too. (I used to be northwest)

[Maddy McCall]

23. I wish everyone who changed names would put their old names...

in their profiles.

Unless they needed to change names for non-aesthetic reasons. :-)

[Zomby Woof]

26. You'll always be Julia Child to me!

A professor/cook in Mississippi with way too many animals (not including a 10 year old). :D

[Maddy McCall]

28. LOL!

It's the ten-year-old animal that gives me the most grief!

And, by the way, my dog just audibly farted. Ugggg! :7

[Zomby Woof]

30. EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:puke: :7

[Maddy McCall]

38. Like my kid says...

How can dogs even make fart sounds when they don't have butt cheeks?

:shrug: That's a question I'd like answered, too. :7

[Zomby Woof]

40. As long as the sphincter flaps!

That is all that counts. The butt cheeks are more resonators than anything else, so they only amplify what is already there!

(I can't believe the things I post sometimes! :bounce: )

[Maddy McCall]

50. And if you really want amplification....

Rip one in a naugahide chair. :-)

[JohnKleeb]

109. Leftistrebel got a job with the DFL

I havent talked to him online in a while either honest.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

125. leftist rebel...

still doing alright. i talk to him every so often, seems fine.

YL (now zocrowes) i talk to once every couple months. the other night we had a long convo during the grammys. he's still playing guitar and scuba diving like always.

[Quakerfriend]

17. RaulVB

Where are you? I hope that you are just taking a short break!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

19. A whole lot of oldtimers came out of the woodwork after

Khephra died: Crewleader, sffreeways, Levinsonk, Armstead, and others.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

24. yep..that gang

[Steven_S]

21. There was someone called Tygrbright....

that always had excellent insight.

And there was someone in the mental health field that had bush pegged as a malignant narcissist (among other issues) I think it may have been Jack Rabbit?

I've been here a long time, don't be fooled by the post #. Sometimes I even miss Carlos.

[greendog]

51. Tygrbright still posts occasionaly...

Here's one from 10 days ago.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3051468#3055259

[fishnfla]

66. I think you mean Jackpine Radical ?

He's still around. Have not seen Shakey Dave for awhile. Did Paragon change his handle?

[NYC]

22. Absythe.

[KoKo]

70. He came back ...but I think it got "boring" and he maybe Lurks? n/t

[NYC]

73. Absynthe.

Just correcting the typo above.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. KCDem never posts anymore and TXlib hardly ever. I know KC

got a job but I really miss her. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

34. I miss her too.

She and TXLib throw a nice party. :-)

[Longgrain]

31. Not being an old timer myself, I don't know

But there are a lot of younger DUers I've noticed who seem to have dropped out...

And some who registered around the same time I did who I hope don't instantaneously disappear. :hi:

[DU GrovelBot]

32. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

your support.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

35. YAY! Grovelbot!

:bounce:

[hunter]

42. Yes, Grovelbot!

Where have you been, man?

BTW, Grovelbot, do you ever click My Posts to check for replies?

[brainshrub]

41. Grovelbot is a relatively new poster.

[Menshevik]

44. HEY Grovelbot

Notice you don't have a star...hmmmmmmmmmmm

just kidding

[blondeatlast]

131. Hannity's not in this thread, GD. Settle down. nt

[Kathy in Cambridge]

43. Robb-where's he been?

I miss his silly polls with the "Robb is a Dingbat" option! :-)

[Robb]

56. Aww!

:)

Nice to be missed!

...Been a wee bit busy. I'll be creative and funny again one day -- that is, assuming I ever was in the first place! :D

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

46. JCCyC

Where the hell is he? :silly:

[JimmyJazz]

48. Gee - no se kimosabe

:spank:

[Hell in a Handbasket]

52. i remember lurking every now and then, and seeing posts from sangho.

he seemed to nicely balance out a lot of the stuff in GD, even though i disagreed with him fairly often.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

74. I think he's still around

in one form or another. Check out the religion forum-you'll probably find him there.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

78. Nope, he was banned, as were many of the people mentioned above

:shrug:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

89. Oh yeah-now I remember

yes, and a lot of those names I hadn't seen in a while so I assumed they had gone the way of the 'stone!

[sundog]

54. sus - she used to post some funny shit

[salin]

55. Almost hate to try to name names, as I will undoubtedly miss

listing many other valuable folks who I miss.

But... Coralsea, enki (though from rare time to time I see him), JCMach and his counterpart (can't recall her nic except that it had Crystal - in short form - as a part of it), Ohiodem, TexasLeo (he could be a bit abrasive, but was rather humorous), TexasLiberal (or was it TexasLib, either way, she sure had energy and commitment), and many many others...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

80. Coralsea is married to another DU'er

and still lurks, enki posts now and then..JMach still posts...I haven't pm'ed OhioDem lately but all I have to do is post an Ohio State pic in a TRUMAD thread to summon him :evilgrin: and LiberalTexan posted recently

[salin]

84. ya know, I should now by now

to run these wonderings by you first - you are much more aware/alert than I. I knew that Coralsea got together with another DUer - thought they married, but wasn't sure, but haven't seen either in aeons (in du duration terms.) You are too cool, my friend. If you see any of the above - please mention my hellos to him/her. :D :hi:

[trumad]

116. I heard that...

;-)

[Zomby Woof]

140. LiberalTexan

She was one of my favorites too. One of the few who agreed with me on the quackery of modern diets. :D (I remember DUers based on the most off-the-wall criteria).

[ulysses]

58. Paschall.

Ohgosh.

[salin]

59. Ohgosh!

she was wonderful!

[ulysses]

60. she was.

They had a disabled son, as I recall, and had a lot on their plates.

:hi:

[salin]

61. and yet she always had a great concern

and compassion for others. Really something when life is working to sap all your energy, and yet you still find extra energy to give to others...

:hi:

[HEyHEY]

65. geniph

[salin]

69. I have seen her rather recently...

she is still around. Just have to keep a sharp eye out for her.

[Renew Deal]

79. I think so too.

I think I saw that name recently.

[KoKo]

67. Too Many...and I miss them all...and I can't even post their names because

it makes me sad.

[HEyHEY]

68. ANd Forrestgump (Again)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

71. RationalRose-where the hell is she?

:crazy:

[BiggJawn]

75. Gone.

Couldn't find her profile.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

77. That's because it's me!

;-)

Name change amnesty.

[salin]

81. I missed that!

Hey RR/KiC :D

[Kathy in Cambridge]

86. Hi!

:hi:

I guess I confused some people by changing my name! :D

[salin]

90. I knew that you were cool in both carnations...

just read KiC as a newer comer whose arrival I had missed (have had more limited posting in the past 8 months) that was cool. Nice to put the two together as one :hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

91. Did you know I met her too?

We had dinner here in OC :D

(round round get around...I get around)

[salin]

93. You do, indeed...

:D

No, I missed that... is there any DUer who rivals you for the number of DUers met face to face?

[BiggJawn]

101. Got me!

:0

[blondeatlast]

135. Why you little...

I had no idea; geez.

[KoKo]

72. MOST ALL CAME BACK FOR KEPHRA (Scott) They were here...they

had friends/relatives contact them...it was a HUGE DU NOSTALGIA TURNOUT...

It was WONDERFUL! Funerals and Weddings....just like "TRUE LIFE."

[PartyPooper]

76. Too many including: Angel-O-Peace, Nambe, party_line, northofdenali,

AnnabellLee, and queerart. Plus many, many more!

O8)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

82. queerart and Transeo both posted down in the GLBT forum

this week

[PartyPooper]

88. Thanks! I should visit that forum again soon.

:hi:

[Renew Deal]

83. Two that I can remember are TLM and RichM.

We clashed some, but they posted a lot and were insightful.

[Longgrain]

85. Again for us short timers

JB.

FN.

HH.

and several others...

[JohnKleeb]

111. I know its only been a couple days

and that Ive been offline but I havent seen Rev in a couple days, then again I havent seen many of you all in a couple days either :).

[davsand]

87. Too many to name them all.

There have been a bunch of folks come and go over the time I've been here. Some names that came to mind immediately, however, Coral Seas, Jackpine Radical, CiCi the PsychoBunny, KCR (I see Pithlet sometimes, but never Kev anymore!) OrangePeel, and Absinthe (however he was listed already by someone else.) Lonnie, Enki, and so many others...

Mainly, I miss Kef horrible bad.

We are lessened with the loss of so many, but we are diminished when anyone leaves us in anger.


Laura

[salin]

Agreed (and mentioned some of the same above)... and had a Keph moment

earlier this afternoon. Running an errand for work and past by the entrance to a park (that I had a heck of a time finding the first time) that hosted an Indy DUer get together (a first - and I think, according to keph, was inspired by your Illinios get together.) As irrational as it sounds, as I passed the entrance to the place where I first met Keph - I gave a nod and said a hello to him.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

94. Of all the people you posted

CoralSea's other half is still here, I think I saw JR last week, haven't seen Cici in ages, KCR posted a couple weeks ago when they were trying to trap a mouse in the house, OrangePeel has been posting more lately...haven't seen Lonnie...Enki still gets a GREAT ONE in now and then and I MISS ABSYNTHE!

[charlie]

95. I miss Absynthe too

Frightening smart, that one. I learned something new every time he posted. But, in his own words, he got bounced because he's just "gotta be my dirty old self." Such a loss.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

98. I know

and the last time the bastard came back he left a typo in his email addy so I couldn't follow up. Love that guy..and yeah..wickedly smart

[Pithlet]

119. Kev still posts occasionally.

His DU activity dropped off sharply after he started his blog. He's still around, though :) :hi:

[arwalden]

92. None?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

96. Aww come on!

I know you miss AKU! ;-)

[arwalden]

102. Well...

... the original post excluded people of that classification. (Ya big nut!) :hi:

Although frustrating, some folks like that ARE amusing.

[salin]

97. admit it arwalden...

you'd miss me if I were gone....

or at least pretend you would ;-)

[arwalden]

103. But You're Not Gone....

of course I'd miss you if you *were* gone.

Allen

(SUPPORT ARBOR DAY!)

[salin]

122. *snicker*

My dad used to plant a bunch of pine trees each year in honor of arbor day... maybe he had a premonition or something ;-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

99. HEY ALLEN..IF YOU CAN READ THIS I'M NOT ON YOUR SHITLIST

:evilgrin: :hi:

[arwalden]

104. Stop Shouting!

And start busting more hypocrite's balls! (Even if they don't literally have any.)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

115. snicker

[LynneSin]

105. Khephra and Birdman

But only because I knew these 2 well (for folks I've met online at a discussion forum) from various gatherings I've helped organized. And both of them have passed away

:cry:

[Cooley Hurd]

106. Anyone see VolcanoJen around?

It's been a few months - no sign of her in LBN...

Oh, let's not forget Carlos...;):D

[Misunderestimator]

107. jchild

:cry: :D

[Maddy McCall]

126. Aww. You know I'm still here!

LOL! :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

110. Lizz612 but we're still in touch having met up a couple times last year

and talking on AIM, and having got her a xmas gift. Shame she hardly posts anymore though but I know why, she's quite studious unlike certain indiduvals. She's sort of the one who taught me how to threadjack, that pseudo McCarthyism with her and NeoProgressive was just too funny. Gonna hang out with her again in like March.

[Coyul]

112. psycho bunny

She was from New Zealand I believe. Very funny lady.
Haven't seen her in a couple years.

[SarahB]

113. Probably the same one as you.

I hope he takes whatever time he needs, but knows there's many people here who care about him in many ways (no matter what). :)

[CO Liberal]

114. I Miss CiCi The Psychobunny

I saw a few of her posts a few days ago in the archives.

[Zomby Woof]

138. I stay in touch with her

She is busy at her university in NZ, and has little access to a good computer when away from home. She is doing well!

[CO Liberal]

143. Glad to Here

Next time you talk to her, tell her she is missed.

[XNASA]

117. SiouxJ

Todd fans are always missed when they're gone.

[Longgrain]

134. Still around...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=280x1161

[greatauntoftriplets]

118. SiobhanClancy.

I know she was having some very bad times, and I wonder what happened to her.

[JohnKleeb]

123. She was very cool, would have loved the Irish group

[Kathy in Cambridge]

137. I miss Barbara too!

I hope she's OK. :-(

[greatauntoftriplets]

139. I do, too.

Think of her often and hope she is doing well. She sounded so sad the last times she posted here.

:-(

[JohnKleeb]

141. i saw her post once and alerted yo u to it but then she was gone

God, she was really cool to me, we even chatted online a couple times, really nice lady who even lol tried to and yes it was a joke with her daughter who was really pretty, her and her daughter I was told I think dont get along tho.

[Pithlet]

120. So many.

Every time someone posts a thread from the archives from way back when, I'm reminded of people I haven't seen here in awhile. And, of course, there's Keph.

I wish more of them had/were able to stick around. But, such is the cycle of a message board. Many people don't stick around one for more than one or two years at the most, at least on a regular basis. I've belonged to a few message boards, but none as long as DU.

[Pithlet]

121. Does anyone know if camero is still around?

I was just thinking of him the other day.

[JimmyJazz]

124. I really, really miss Matcom, whoisalhedges and ChavezSpeakstheTruth!

Has anyone seen them around lately? :shrug:

[realisticphish]

132. matcom posted a lounge thread today nt

[JimmyJazz]

133. I was being a smartass

:silly:

[realisticphish]

136. sorry

i'm floating in a post-midterm daze right now :)

i wish people didnt have mental diseases, so i didnt have to memorize every damn one of them

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[cally]

127. I'll name a few but not all I miss

Youngred...I know he was here during election night. Dogfolks. Cluedin. Texasleo. etc, etc

[blondeatlast]

128. Undisclosed Location

Really helped me after my father died.

[DancingBear]

129. What became of slinkerwink?

name change?

(my apologies in advance if something bad happened)

I just remember how passionate she was during the primaries - thought with Dean as DNC chair she might be around.

[Bluebear]

130. Volcano Jen!

Come back~!

[miss_kitty]

142. TOM KITTEN! Tell us how you are!
