Favorite ex-DUer

[jpgray]

It's hard to pick, but I'll throw Dookus up, because something reminded me of him today.

[bigwillq]

1. You threw Dookus up?

:puke: :shrug:

[SammyWinstonJack]

2. Nothingshocksmeanymore. nt

[NC_Nurse]

6. I second that.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. I miss her so much!

[bigwillq]

8. I call thirds on that.

I Miss her. :hug: :loveya:

[I Have A Dream]

23. She didn't know me, but I always respected her. She gets my vote. n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. I'll be fourths...or fifths or whatever we're up to!

:hug:

[jpgray]

15. Let's add progmom and Misunderestimator as well

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. They all got banned at the same time It was trifecta.

*sad*

[jpgray]

41. I remember Skinner left open the possibility they could all return

Maybe one day...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

66. yeah, i liked all three of them.

[havocmom]

111. let's not

[KamaAina]

17. A-yup.

Why? WHY??? :(

[enigmatic]

43. yep

:thumbsup:

[Maestro]

88. NSM and I used to PM every once in a while.

She is very dedicated to helping those who do not have a voice. I miss her too.

[intheflow]

117. When did NSMA become an ex?

I am shocked to hear it, no pun intended. I know I've been busy over the last 18 months, and not hanging in the Lounge much at all, but I can't believe I missed this! I'm sad to hear she's gone.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

149. a while ago she, misunderestimator and progmom were TS'd

skinner made an announcement in the lounge if i am not mistaken.

[intheflow]

196. Oh, was NSMA part of that?

That whole crazy time was what made me flee the Lounge, and I haven't hung out here much since. I knew there had been all kinds of TS'ing around that, but tuned it out.

[jpgray]

205. Yep. One of my least favorite times in the Lounge

[La Lioness Priyanka]

yes it was a crazy time. she was very good to me though, as was Misu.

progmom and i didnt chat on du very much, we occasionally do on myspace.

NSMA gave me a lot of support during a particularly bad patch in my life, even when all this lounge drama was going on.

[jobycom]

132. My big sis. I miss her, too.

:cry:

[Pacifist Patriot]

3. CitrusLib

[KitchenWitch]

4. Dookus cracked me up all the time

I miss a bunch of others as well.

[MissMillie]

13. and he had the best dog

I love Tucker! I want one just like him.

[Maddy McCall]

21. Here's Tucker.

[MissMillie]

44. love, love, love... capital "L" LOVE!!!!

:loveya:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

60. Hey - Sniffa's not an ex-duer

:D

[MissMillie]

70. rrrright...

:thumbsup:

[bicentennial_baby]

5. Haruka

and DS1

[Bassic]

152. Haruka?

When the hell did that happen???

[bicentennial_baby]

155. Last week....sigh

x(

[Bassic]

156. Well that's just shitty.

x(

[Blue-Jay]

7. The Princess.

(that was a big lie, BTW)

[jpgray]

9. A big fat lie

:P

[philosophie_en_rose]

166. I don't miss her, but I remember her fondly.

She always made me laugh.


at her.



:)

[helderheid]

10. TruthIsAll and benburch are sorely missed by me

[intheflow]

118. Oh yeah!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

11. IBTN! -nt

[Bassic]

153. Agreed. nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. I'll play this straight.

Andy Stephenson.

[helderheid]

18. I miss him too - but I don't consider him an ex-Duer - I think he's still hanging around here

:pals: :hug: :grouphug:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

27. If it's dial-up, his phone bill must suck ass.

(Sorry. I assume Andy would like the dark humor.) O8)

[lost-in-nj]

33. I agree

I lurked here for a LONG time before I posted and read all about him.....

:cry:

I was blown away by the journey he took and the uproar it caused.......
I also read about Kephra, his passing was SO much like my brothers I got chills......
and everytime I read another post about him I was sobbing, absolutely sobbing
The way the old timers LOVED these beings is a testament to the true nature of humans......
I am proud to be in their company......


lost

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I'm with you on this one........

I miss Andy a lot.......

Also Kephra......:cry:

[Maddy McCall]

38. Yes, and can't forget Kheph, too.

Both missed.

:(

[greatauntoftriplets]

49. Nor Kheph...

or nostamj

[Maddy McCall]

16. Dookus....well, it's a tie...

Dookus and NSMA.

Love them both. Dookus and I were scheduled to wed when he was banned. :cry:

And I can't say enough nice things about NSMA. She is a loyal, intelligent friend.

[lizziegrace]

26. I never got to know NSMA

I wish I had.

:hug: Maddy.

[Maddy McCall]

36. ....

:hug: back. She was the first person to welcome me to DU, and she and I got into a great discussion on the meaning of language not long after that. I developed tremendous respect for her intellect. Maybe one day you'll get to meet her online.

She's not at DU now. She rose above the sockpuppet game.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

63. Is that like Hungry Hungry Hippos?

Or Risk?

:shrug:

[Susang]

68. Definitely "Risk"

The goal was domination of the whole forum, by way of conquering different forums one at a time. Once you're gone, your armies keep on battling for you, in absentia.

Very much like Risk, if you ask me. ;-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

69. SO which DUer is Kamchatka and which is Irkutsk?

:shrug:

[Susang]

82. I don't know

I always do my best to conquer Ural, Mongolia, Siberia & Siam. :shrug:

[GirlinContempt]

100. I think it's similar to Clue

Where everyone refuses to believe it was Colonel Mustard with the wrench in the library, and will go out outlandish, ridiculous extremes to attempt to prove it was Miss Peacock in the kitchen with the rope.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

164. I think it's more like Stratego

where you go around trying to guess which piece is the flag always looking out for the spy.

[GirlinContempt]

198. Never played that one

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

222. you should - it's alot of fun

[sniffa]

20. haruka

[jonnyblitz]

22. KathyinCambridge or NSMA. nt

[Maddy McCall]

37. Oh yes.

KiC. Another smart, sweet person.

:thumbsup:

[bigwillq]

40. Oh yes, Kathy!

I liked her lots!

Hi baby! :hi:

[Guava Jelly]

24. I hate the X duer premise ....But ...Haruka

Although she will always be a duer to me.
And miss_american_pie who will return to us some day..Hopefully soon

[LostinVA]

45. You just like that she likes your butt

[Guava Jelly]

51. She does... now i really miss her..

:blush: :cry:

[LostinVA]

147. You vain creature

Go tip some housekeeping staff or something.

:pals:

[Guava Jelly]

158. I wouldn't be that big of a jerk

:sarcasm:

[LostinVA]

174. I must control myself

Hehehhehehehhe

:pals:

[Guava Jelly]

191. You and me both.

I am a good boy :D well i am trying to be.

[LostinVA]

25. Haruka, my blushing Bridezilla

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. Oh me too on that one!

See, this is too hard. :hi: I hope she's not ex for long.

[LostinVA]

34. Me either -- But, I ain't placing bets

Oy vay.


edited for insane typos.

[Nicole]

62. Me too.

I was hoping to read about the big wedding from both of you. :(

[LostinVA]

148. You'll at least hear it from me -- we are becoming Bridezillas

And, she read your post to me over the phone last night and says, "Thank you."

We found a baker for the cake we want AND are deciding between where to have the ceremony. We'd like it to be outside.

[Karenca]

98. Haruka.

:(

[libnnc]

130. Haruka? Wha' happen?

She can't leave. It isn't permitted.

[xmas74]

29. I miss many

but I still think about JJ often while posting.

She was the first to greet me and the first to send me a pm.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. Haruka.

x(

[Susang]

32. Beware the Beastman & Dookus

I :loveya: them both and miss them very much!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

58. The Beastman is sorely missed indeed

Oy!

[Squatch]

35. MrBenchley

Bless his uber-acerbic wit.

[GoneOffShore]

89. ...

:eyes:

[Robeson]

102. Yuck.

[GoneOffShore]

199. Encore on that yuck.

Can we have an Amen?

[Flaxbee]

42. wait! WTF happened to Haruka?

she was just here - I was gone a few days, what happened? And when? :cry:

[SOteric]

46. I'm guessing I don't really need to answer that.

But for those who really cannot guess, DS1.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

67. DS1 was the shit

Oh man :(

[dolo amber]

99. That guy was the awesomest and stuff

:thumbsup:

[xmas74]

127. He cracked me up all the time.

I miss him too.

[cleofus1]

168. i still remember his sarcasm

as if it were only yesterday...and some of his photoshops were just drop on the ground funny...



his mom really liked this drawing of him...he's probably lurking right now,

naw..he's probably passed out somewhere...

[SOteric]

226. That ~is~ a great sketch,

and yes, he does lurk here from time to time. He can't post anymore, but he still loves to drop by and read, find out what matcom is up to and make fun of GDs warlike tendencies.

Sadly, the folks at his office take a pretty dim view of the employees being passed out at work so he's forced to remain upright and conscious during the days. Maybe he could win the lotto one day and that would all change.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

47. progmom.

What a jazzer.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

61. Met her in person - the best of the best indeed!

Good thing I bookmarked her radio station for my Saturday fixes

[Left Is Write]

48. There are so many...

some of whom I only recently found out were "ex" DUers.

[Hosnon]

50. What happened to Haruka? NT.

[mentalsolstice]

52. I haven't been here long enough, so all I have to say is...

I hope you're not missing mentalsolstice anytime soon. I do miss Haruka, and hope the situation with her and whoever can be worked out (I have no dawg in that fight). LostinVa is special to me, and I'm dying for both bridezillas views (and we also have some other up and coming bridezillas, I love all of 'em)!

[yewberry]

53. A few.

I was going to say Dookus--I miss the funny. Add DS1 to that category.

Also, our v/v/ar brigade that gave up (Kenneth Ken, smbolisnch, livinginphotographs, fresianrider) or just plain stopped coming here (shockra, 4_Legs_Good, expatriot, Gothic Sponge, curse10). I miss them.

[Taverner]

54. Sarahbelle and Southern Writer

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

55. I loved that guy. Cracked me the hell up.

:thumbsup:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Josh_Strength

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

56. Whoops - dupe

cat on the keyboard

[Danger Mouse]

57. IBTL

I curse this thread :D

[Mz Pip]

59. Starpass

It's been a while and I still think of her.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Maccagirl]

133. She could rant with the best of them

I guess that's what got her banned-I've never seen such passion. I also miss Crewleader-what happened to her? She was like our mother-looking out for everyone.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

64. sarahbelle.

[Skittles]

65. oneighty

my beloved Ed. *sniff*

[lizziegrace]

74. Awww Skittles

:hug:

[Skittles]

84. I miss him so much lizzie

Ed was my online dad - he was born within a month of my own dad who I lost to sucide a long time ago :(

[lizziegrace]

146. I didn't know that.

You've lost so much in your life. :grouphug:

[LostinVA]

150. Awwww -- a very good choice

And, a very sweet man.

[trof]

173. First one I thought of.

I was just scrolling down to see if Ed was mentioned.
DU is a poorer place for his passing.

[Flaxbee]

229. yeah, me too.

was just going through my address book and there was his name. Bummer. I miss Ed, too.

[blondeatlast]

231. Definitely. What a wonderful guy--and what a storyteller.

:cry:

[asthmaticeog]

71. Screaming Lord Byron/Mumbling Peasant Steve/Wat Tyler

OK, he wasn't banned or anything, but he left DU, and I miss the olden days of music threads.

Also, and this goes WAAAAAY back, SouthernGirlWriter, who quit in a justifiable huff during the bitch wars.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

73. The Screaming Lord Byron days were the pinnacle of my DUing

[darkstar]

80. Good rock and roll chats back then, eh? n/t

[dolo amber]

101. ...

YES

[RandomKoolzip]

241. Yeah...me too. I miss him.

:cry: After myself, he was my favorite Duer.

[bridgit]

72. for me there are some, but: progmom, Zuni, JimmyJazz, NSMA, & misu...

i thought they were fun :cry:

[BikeWriter]

91. Sniff!

[intheflow]

120. JimmyJazz, for sure!

[bullwinkle428]

75. I have to go with Haruka -

I'm not anywhere near "veteran DUer status" by any means, so I'm really not familiar with several mentioned, but I always looked forward to reading her posts here in the Lounge, and she made plenty of worthy contributions to GD as well...

(cute how the spell-check wanted to change her name to Hanuka)

[Drum]

77. Ditto!

[LostinVA]

175. I passed this on, thanks

[bullwinkle428]

230. I was hoping she'd check in sometime so she would

have the chance to feel the Lounge love... :)

[NMDemDist2]

76. Old Leftie Lawyer springs to mind along with Eloriel and Nancy Waterman

course Nancy's not TS'd

[jpgray]

81. Wow. Eloriel takes me back to the primary days.

[intheflow]

122. Old Leftie Lawyer's gone?

I have to hang out in the Lounge more often. I'm missing so much. I always enjoyed reading OLL.

[Sanity Claws]

136. Remember her alcoholic cat?

I loved that picture she had of a cat downing a cold beer.

[crim son]

78. I can't say so I pick Miss American Pie even though she's not

an ex and I hope very much she will come back. I miss her.

[BarenakedLady]

160. I second that!

:thumbsup:

[Richardo]

79. I MISS SUGAR SMACK!!!1!

:cry:

A kind word for all - one of DU's best.

(I don;t know if she's an EX-DUer, but she's been gone a long time... :(

[asthmaticeog]

105. I refuse to consider her an ex-DUer...

and yeah, I miss her a lot, too.

[Redstone]

113. Dammit, I should have written down her phone number. Hey, wait, it's probably in my

PM archive, which I've NEVER cleaned out. I gotta go check.

Redstone

[bicentennial_baby]

142. Her computer is dead, she's fine

I talked to her for about 4 hours the other night. She's wonderful, actually :)

[Richardo]

144. Thanks, bi_baby

:hi:

Tell her we hope she's posting sketches and :loveya:s again soon... ;-)

[BarenakedLady]

161. Yay!

I miss her! :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

83. I just got really sad

I miss Dookus, progmom, MisU, NSMA, JimmyJazz, Haruka, DS1, KathyinCambridge, DistressedAmerican, Beware the Beastman.


*sigh*

[Kat45]

85. KathyinCambridge, Sarahbelle, curse10, DS1--all folks I knew from Boston meetups

Sometimes I feel like I hardly know anyone around here anymore. :-(

[NewJeffCT]

86. damn, I didn't know half these people were gone

that makes me sad...

I think I miss just about everybody on this list so far, though.

[jpgray]

87. I'm just glad this has been a positive thread so far

Thanks Lounge. :patriot:

[KitchenWitch]

92. Agreed!

:patriot:

[Pale Blue Dot]

90. I'm being told I have to say Sarahbelle.

:eyes:

:D

[johnnie]

93. Well, I miss her too

And she didn't even have to twist my ear to say it..LOL

[KitchenWitch]

103. I bet your lovely wife put you up to that!

:7

[LostinVA]

151. Why, whomever told you to say that???

[NewJeffCT]

157. I bet a little birdie told you to say that...

she is missed, though.

Hope you guys are doing well. We moved to the other side of the river at the beginning of the month...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

159. tell her i said hi.

:hi:

[helderheid]

94. liveoaktx - she was a Godsend with the videos - miss her a ton

[GalleryGod]

95. MaineMary,Longgrain,PeteNYC, BirdMan...

there are others...TOO many for my taste.


D.U.J.H.S.
Rolls-on

[hfojvt]

114. Remember the Maine

Nobody has mentioned Carlos or :popcorn: or nostamj

Isn't there only one 'g' in longrain? Probably not.

I miss Udokier and Ultraist even though neither of them got banned. Thus, they could post if they remembered their passwords. Southlandshari and Heidi feel like ex-DUers too, although they both are around on occasion.

[GirlinContempt]

96. DS1, Beware the Beast Man, progmom, misunderestemator

[intheflow]

124. I wondered about DS1.

He used to hang out in the Photo Group during the early days. I thought he just got bored with us.

[GirlinContempt]

125. Sadly, he's gone

[opiate69]

97. Modem Butterfly

[Wapsie B]

104. Sarahbelle.

JJ, Progmom, MissU, were those I can think of right now. Miss them all.

[greendog]

106. Carlos

Anyone else noticed that it's taken a couple dozen people to replace him? And they're doing a piss poor job at that.

And Carlos posted without being payed for it. I'll bet the payroll for his replacements runs in the hundreds of thousands.

This place would be improved 1000% if we brought Carlos back and got rid of all the paid poseurs.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

112. LOL!

:rofl:

[greendog]

116. Makes you laugh...

...makes you cry.

:rofl: :cry: :rofl: :cry: :rofl: :cry:

[hfojvt]

119. Dang, you mentioned Carlos before I did

It seemed like he was half of DU when I started. Half of the GD threads were calling him out about something or other. Jesus Saves also caused quite a stir just with his handle and a picture. And Grovelbot has not been around since he did his big board with stickies and hasn't posted 4-evah.

[jobycom]

131. I kinda do miss Carlos.

Hard to say why. :rofl: He seemed less obnoxious and more naive to me.

[Awsi Dooger]

138. I miss Carlos quite a bit

Jiacinto went a bit haywire near the end when he moved to Miami, and then had problems with his relatives in Iowa. But unquestionably he had great knowledge of politics and would start many interesting threads, asking about voting trends in specific counties, etc.

Plus when I was new to DU in late '02 he replied to many of my posts and asked great questions. Some of my political theories are a bit atypical but Jiacinto took interest in them instead of shooting them down point blank.

[Big Pappa]

140. He

was one of the first to really call out what he called the "Naderites".

[bicentennial_baby]

143. Bolivia....

Discuss




:P

[blondeatlast]

232. LOL! He certainly kepr things lively!

GD just doesn't have the, um, er, well, I don't know--it just is missing something.

Chemtrails, perhaps?

[Ariana Celeste]

107. ummm

biscodawg

what the hell happened to that dude? i took a break for awhile, came back, and he was TS'ed.

NSMA was pretty rockin' too.

[Reverend_Smitty]

123. I remember biscodawg

He was a pretty cool dude. In fact quite a lot of the people mentioned in this thread were good people and added a lot to the DU community.

I don't know if Kleeb has left DU for good but I miss him too

[Celeborn Skywalker]

108. NMSA, progmom, Zuni.

[Robeson]

109. smbolisnch. I miss her kindness. And livinginphotographs....

...I miss his truthiness...

[LeftyMom]

134. check your PM

:hi:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

110. Temporary Sockpuppet

sigh...boy do I miss them....

[RetroLounge]

115. A few come to mind

Haruka, Progmom, MissU, RetroLounge...

RL

[idgiehkt]

121. wtf?

joking, right? :hug:

[graywarrior]

126. Southpawkicker

Oh wait.....

[intheflow]

128. I'll always have a soft spot for Longgrain.

He could be so... Longgrain-ish, but on the up side, he did found several very good Groups, including the Photo Group, the Art Group, and the Bob Dylan Group. Maybe he founded more, I don't know. Anyway, at least 85% of my DU time is spent in the Photo Group, so I'm thankful Longgrain was around long enough to kick it off.

[Ptah]

129. I'll just quote

There are places I remember all my life,
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments
Of lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I loved them all.

And with all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life I loved you more.

And I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life I loved you more
In my life I loved you more

[Sanity Claws]

135. All good ones - what about BusheatsBeef ?

Or something like that. I didn't really know him but he posted interesting articles. I was very surprised to hear that he had been tombstoned.

[blondeatlast]

233. I was hoping someone said that. I'd love to know what happened. nt

[FuzzySlippers]

137. Crazy Guggenheim and JimmyJazz.

Also Ben Burch and NSMA.

[SKKY]

139. I'm going to say LeftPeopleFinishFirst....

...Maggie was funny, and quite impressive for her young age. I used to refer to her and Ava as "The Wonder Twins".

[hickman]

141. I think his name was longgrain.

first person that welcomed me to DU. Back in 04.

[Cannikin]

145. Cuban Liberal...completely superficial reasons..

He was nice to look at.:evilgrin:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

165. I thought he was imaginary

[Left Is Write]

210. Well, yeah, but the guy whose pictures he used was damn good looking.

:D

[HughBeaumont]

154. DoYouEverWonder, Khephra and Haruka.

:cry:

[kwassa]

162. Bouncy Ball

What ever happened to her?

[RevCheesehead]

195. I miss her, too!

Bouncy, get yer ass back here!!! :loveya:

[intheflow]

203. Yeah, what did happen to her?

This thread is so interesting. All these folks I remember, but I never noticed their absence until they've been brought up here. I just figured the Board was so big I was missing their posts elsewhere. Bouncy was great!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

163. Gotta put arwalden in the list

Smashing fellow and well missed. I hope he's well. He could ALWAYS be counted on to split my sides.

[asthmaticeog]

167. Hells yeah!

[trof]

177. Oh yes. And his Family Feud games. Where'd he go?

What happened to him?

[Left Is Write]

212. I'd like to know too.

[MissMillie]

202. whenever anyone asked us all to name a song he'd say

"Car Wash" by Rolls Royce!

that always cracked me up

[Beausoir]

214. Where is he? I miss him. Slide it, Earl!

[ronnykmarshall]

236. Oh my gay STARS!

[asthmaticeog]

169. slinkerwink and Teneha

:evilgrin:

[bicentennial_baby]

172. IIRC, Slink came back at some point

With a new name, but then she disappeared again... :shrug:

[asthmaticeog]

I remember that, but I forgot the name.

I think she was posing as a male, as well, I guess she had a stalker problem. Was she "TheDailyShow?" I remember that being a matter of some speculation for awhile back then.

[jpgray]

178. Pretty sure she was thedailyshow

There were some obvious hints dropped and then she edited them all out, as I remember. Slink was a bit batty. :D But she liked zyl frames. And berets.

:o

[asthmaticeog]

179. I wouldn't say so much "batty," but, yeah, I know what you mean.

She had that kind of ludicrously narrow "Oberlin freshman in the '80s" outlook on gender issues, but other than that she was fun to discuss stuff with, whether you agreed with her or not. :shrug:

[jpgray]

180. All I remember is heated distaste for the word "bitch" and lots of beret pictures

[asthmaticeog]

187. Did she spark the bitch wars?

She was certainly deep in the trenches, but then so were a lot of people (the above-mentioned SouthernGirlWriter leaps to mind again). That would have been a really great discussion to have had it not been polluted by meathead flame warriors who seemed to think that patronizingly telling people what they should or shouldn't find offensive was the whole point of the debate. Kind of like what's going on with homophobic jokes here now, come to think of it...

[bicentennial_baby]

184. Well, she was going to Smith at the time, soooo

:P

:hi:

[asthmaticeog]

188. LOL

I hate to say it, but she kinda had LUG written all over her. ;)

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

189. Actually, I think she turned out to be one, iirc

She was gay, and last I talked to her, she was playing for the opposite team :crazy:

But yeah, Smith's notorious for its LUGS...but man, the parties I've been to over there! :o

[bertha katzenengel]

170. Misunderestimator.

Progmom.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[philosophie_en_rose]

176. Grovelbot. He only comes around, when he needs money.

:)

Seriously, I miss Dookus, DS1, TruthisAll, NSMA, Haruka, and even Jiacinto.

For the most part, I don't know what the hell happened to people. I don't really know anyone on DU in person, but I do appreciate the humor and personality in many of the banned posters.

I think it's unfortunate that they couldn't stay for whatever reason.

[GumboYaYa]

181. From way back, Catpower2000

She had a vicious temper, but was also fun to have around.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[jpgray]

[Little Wing]

[asthmaticeog]

218. Actually I just post with my friends' accounts.

OOPS! :blush:

[jpgray]

219. ...

:rofl:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

225. SOCKPUPPET! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

[GirlinContempt]

223. If this is a puzzle

I need the picture on the box to complete it.

[Deja Q]

234. Arwalden was banned?! I thought he'd just given up on DU?

This is also a weird thread...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

237. ex does not equal banned

[1gobluedem]

207. AuntAgonist

Also Progmom and Misu..

[malta blue]

227. I miss aA also...although I do see her on another forum as well

[1gobluedem]

239. I see her there too when I can get over there

And I saw her in person not too long ago as well. But I miss her here; she was always a calming, soothing influence.

[lukasahero]

208. Alarcojon

He's not really an "ex" but he was a good friend and I miss him a lot.

[jpgray]

209. Only DUer I've met in person! Extremely cool, mellow guy

[lukasahero]

211. :cry:

I wish I had that opportunity.

[jpgray]

213. He was very much like his online persona--kind and very smart

He tried (unsuccessfully) to recultivate the math neurons in my slow pate. :D

[peekaloo]

220. nostamj :-(

does anybody know if thebigidea is okay? Last post I saw of his he mentioned he may have been ill (cancer I think).

[jpgray]

221. Crap, really? thebigidea was one of my faves from back when

:(

[peekaloo]

228. it was around Valentine's Day last year. I can't seem to access his website

either. :-(

www.terminalproduct.com

[asthmaticeog]

224. Oh, definitely.

nostamj's 'toon threads (newer members wouldn't know that he started that wonderful DU tradition), the GREAT stuff in his CafePress shop, his thoughtful posts, he is definitely missed. His death came out of NOWHERE, it seemed like - hit me like a brick wall, I really liked that guy.

[Shakespeare]

235. I was always partial to Character Assassin.

Viewed by most as an obstreperous hardass, but he had a very funny, sweet side, too.

243. Really.

That's kind of funny, considering I actually got to know him beyond the bounds of DU. The idea that he's a republican is especially hilarious, and he's also bragged about being banned from freerepublic.om. He's a tad iconoclastic.

[WhollyHeretic]

238. beam me up scottie

She does take breaks from time to time but she hasn't been around in a few months.

[MissMillie]

242. auntAgonist

I have no idea what caused her to leave... I missed whatever drama there was, but Keesha was a very caring member of this community.

[Phillycat]

246. NSMA, progmom, Misunderestimator, and...

Zombywoof. Now THAT one surprised me. Bygones are well gone, and that's a good thing. :D

[Pithlet]

247. I'm locking, now.

Some of the members being mentioned in this thread are still active, and calling out other members of DU is against the rules.
