Missing Members

[Swift]

Hey, noclevername (http://www.bautforum.com/members/noclevername.html) hasn't been around since May. I wonder what's up?

[chrissy]

I have been thinking the very same.

[Whirlpool]

Interesting.

Maybe because he's the one of the fast poster here whenever he's online. He'll plague almost all the threads in no time.

:doh:

Maybe he's just on vacation, or have a New Work that made him busy .

http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/106.gif

[chrissy]

he won't be on vacation, I know that.

[Neverfly]

Funny, we were just talking about him and I even thought about making a thread called "missing Members" too!

I knw why...
Quantum Entabglement.

I didn't make the thread because it seemed more like a "Where the heck did NCN go?"

But let's make sure that Serenitude is on the list too.

What happened to the 'Tude?

At least I know Dragonstar and TRS are alive- and they have the habit of kinda coming and going whenever...

[Whirlpool]

Include Pinemarten and Paracelsus.

They 've been out for a long while too.

:think:

[cjl]

You want someone who's been gone a long time though, look at TheBlackCat. I've been wondering about him.

[Jeff Root]

Yeah, even I have been wondering about TheBlackCat. He did a lot of
really helpful posts in general science.

[Kaptain K]

Let's make it a bannable offense to to disappear without a goodbye! j/k :whistle:

[Lianachan]

I would imagine people just lose interest and drift away from the site, without having a "Cheerio!" thread, pretty often. I've often lost interest myself, but usually not for more than a week or so.

[Disinfo Agent]

TheBlackCat still seems to post in the BA's blog every once in a while.
Noclevername never returned after getting a temporary ban.

[Neverfly]

Noclevername never returned after getting a temporary ban.

He had had suspensions before. Maybe something was different this time...

[geonuc]

This thread makes me slightly uncomfortable, given recent events.

It's obvious what became of some of them, but I went for completeness.

Making your own lets you see avatars and visit profiles easily.

List Members :: Search Members (Advanced) (http://www.bautforum.com/memberlist.php?do=search) and create your own criteria.

[Kaptain K]

JS Princeton is banned.
GrapesOfWrath, kilopi and milli360 are all former screen names of hhEb09'1

[Neverfly]

Yeah, I hear ya:neutral:

But I think the purpose of this thread is for those members who can post but for some reason are not- and are being missed:)

Are you referring to the alleged "member" thieves?

http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSL2290323220080422?sp=true

[jrkeller]

gethen hasn't been around much lately.

[Tensor]

Normandy6644 sorta drifted away from posting here. He posts mainly over on FWIS. He currently is an officer in the Army, stationed in Iraq.

[mugaliens]

Maybe because he's the one of the fast poster here whenever he's online. He'll plague almost all the threads in no time.

:doh:


I'll bet he pulls up everything in which he's interested into a separate tab, responds to all of them, then goes down the line clicking the "Submit" button for each one at 31 second intervals.

[Neverfly]

LOL
I think I've done something similar...

[geonuc]

Are you referring to the alleged "member" thieves?

Certainly not. I was thinking of something quite different.

[Noclevername]

I'll bet he pulls up everything in which he's interested into a separate tab, responds to all of them, then goes down the line clicking the "Submit" button for each one at 31 second intervals.

LOL

Nope, just get a rhythm going, that's all. And also I'm back. :)

[cjl]

Welcome back :D

[Noclevername]

Welcome back :D

Thanks! :) I may not be the all-day-every-day poster I was in my prime, though.

[davidlpf]

welcome back name who is not clever, but who is clever themselves.

[Van Rijn]

Thanks! :) I may not be the all-day-every-day poster I was in my prime, though.

Just as well. For meaningful posts, extremely high post rates are unsustainable and lead to burnout. Stick around, take it at your own pace, and have fun.

[davidlpf]

le noir chat (blackcat) has been posting on the blog.

[hhEb09'1]

Also "a Thousand Pardons"
A Thousand Pardons

soupdragon2 was banned unfortunately

Glom is now 777 geek
informant is now Disinfo Agent
Jpax2003 became Ara Pacis
Ut is now Kristophe

Lot of good names on that list

PS: Smiley-free posting for the past **021** posts

[Gillianren]

Just as well. For meaningful posts, extremely high post rates are unsustainable and lead to burnout.

Hey!

No, I know. Not all my posts are meaningful--and I post less than I used to. And, in general, people who shoot up to 100 posts in their first couple of days here have perhaps two or three posts of substance. If that.

[Swift]

PS: Smiley-free posting for the past **021** posts
Ok, I have to ask? What's up with the smiley-free posting? Is this a protest or is there a prize involved? Or are you just saving bandwidth?

[Fazor]

Hey!

Oops, I didn't realize that substance was required. If I went back and deleted all my posts that are lacking substance...well, then I might as well just unregister my account. :)

[Frog march]

there's class A substance in some people's posts.

[Drunk Vegan]

^ Class A - is that a misdemeanor or a felony?

Because I'm on probation for the last time I got caught with substance.

[HenrikOlsen]

Ok, I have to ask? What's up with the smiley-free posting? Is this a protest or is there a prize involved? Or are you just saving bandwidth?
I think it's a respose to 01101001's post about never using smilies and a test to see if it's possible to do for long without getting misunderstood.

[SeanF]

I think it's a respose to 01101001's post about never using smilies and a test to see if it's possible to do for long without getting misunderstood.
Ha! hhEb09'1's easy enough to misunderstand with smilies!

(And I am intentionally not going to put any in this post)

[Musashi]

Nothing to add to the topic, I just want you to know that I copied your post without your express written consent.

[SeanF]

You shall be hearing from my lawyer, sir!










Uh, what's your address?

[Musashi]

Well, it is 424.. wait a minute!

[SeanF]

Well, it is 424.. wait a minute!
Is that Waitaminute Street, or Waitaminute Avenue, or....wait a minute!

[geonuc]

Depends on the jurisdiction. Better play it safe and not post with any substance.

[drainbread]

Missing members...

For some reason I was thinking about content related to(the now defunct)ogrish.com.

[hhEb09'1]

(And I am intentionally not going to put any in this post)You and HenrikOlsen are both correct, but the test has imploded miserably. I've come to realize it's not my problem, however.

I really should include a smiley at the start and end of every single post. That's just how I post to BAUT.

[Frog march]

Did you know that the monolith in 2001 was actually based on Groucho Marx's moustache?

picture a face, a big yellow face, the one with the overbite, like the one that Paulhoff ruined for me on the Richard Dawkins forum.
Now picture a sad face, with little droopy sides of the mouth,
now picture the stupid smiley face that Paul used in triplets, over and over and over and over again, and made me want to put a voodoo curse on. are you picturing a grinning face? no well, these things are sort of dynamic.

[Neverfly]

That's just how I post to BAUT.

NOW you're talkin' my language!:D

[Drunk Vegan]

Depends on the jurisdiction. Better play it safe and not post with any substance.

Can do!

[geonuc]

How long before we declare someone missing?

[Swift]

How long before we declare someone missing?

I don't think there is a universally accepted value. I suspect it also depends on their normal posting frequency. For some of us, it might be only hours before we are late to post. ;)

[jj_0001]

This thread makes me slightly uncomfortable, given recent events.

????
(Seriously, I have no idea why.)

[Gillianren]

I know that The_Supreme_Canuck will be coming back; he had a bike accident and suffered unpleasant injuries that make typing problematic.

[Moose]

Ow! I hadn't known he'd been hurt. Get well soon, TSC.

[geonuc]

????
(Seriously, I have no idea why.)
At the time, we had just learned that one of our missing members will never be coming back.

[Moose]

It's part and parcel of being in a relatively tight-knit community like Baut, Geonuc. Sooner or later, people go missing, and sooner or later, it was bound to happen that we'd end up losing someone for real, and not just to drift.

It hurt when it happened, but I think overall, we're better for facing that risk. Our community is worth that.

[jj_0001]

At the time, we had just learned that one of our missing members will never be coming back.

Oh.

That's depressing indeed.

I presume that was why the memorial thread came into existance? I'm sorry to say I never (board-wise) met the person.

Yeah, wait until you get older, it gets far, far too common. Mortality stinks.

Agreed, and I'm old enough to appreciate the value of community.

But I really wasn't intending on travelling that road tonight. I posted here because BigDon has been silent for a while. As I'm unaware of any circumstances whereby he might go off in a huff or anything like that, I worry. But it's been only two weeks, so perhaps it's nothing.

Don wanders in and out pretty often. It's not unusual for him to be away for a week or so.

[chrissy]

I have located Richard of Chelmsford. :)
Mike has already been informed.

Alrighty then. Thanks.

And that's all you are going to say? Come on, give it up girlfriend <fingersnap> . ;)

[Fazor]

Personally, I think he's just a grand showman. He kicks in the front door, wow's us with his stories, jabs us with his sharp opinions, and slaps us in the face with heavy reality. Then he retreats to the shadows to let it all sink in-re-emerging only after the dust settles.

I'm tell'n ya, the man knows how to entertain! :)

[chrissy]

And that's all you are going to say? Come on, give it up girlfriend <fingersnap> . ;)

A PM is winging its way to you as we speak.

stop clicking those fingers.

[Gillianren]

Seriously--why PM?

[chrissy]

Confidentiality.

He is alive ok.

[suntrack2]

nice review of missing members.

[Paracelsus]

I'm back, guys and ladies. I didn't lose interest; I just had a really bad year with a lot on my plate. I was in such a crappy state of mind most of the time that I was afraid to come on--didn't want to subject everybody to my crap mood.

[Neverfly]

Hope things are going better for you now:)
Welcome back to posting and don't worry TOO hard about bad moods-there are ways of countering those at times...

[Torsten]

Kaptain K? (http://www.bautforum.com/members/kaptain-k.html)

[geonuc]

Been a while, hasn't it?

[mahesh]

I miss Mr Dave Mitsky (also a moderator at BAUT) and his contributions.

[suntrack2]

and wolverine.

[Robinson]

and Cyclops.

[Neverfly]

I emailed him a while back but there's been no reply.

Add Bogie to the list of MIA.

[Whirlpool]

and Foote too.

[Nicolas]

Good to hear RoC is alive!

Regarding the list: Fram is alive and well, living a happy, well-filled life. He spends his internet time mainly as a wikipedia mod these days.

[mahesh]

where's kashi!?

[geonuc]

It's now a month since Kaptain K logged on.

[Disinfo Agent]

Gethen. It's been a very long time since she last posted. :(

[Swift]

Gethen. It's been a very long time since she last posted. :(
She posts on a different forum I visit. I think its been a couple of weeks since she posted there, but that forum's software doesn't give you a link to a user's last post. I have a vague thought she might be visiting relatives.

[Disinfo Agent]

Thanks. It's nice to know that she's still around. :)

[chrissy]

Just wondering if anybody knows where FriedPhoton is?

Where's Jim?

[Gillianren]

The Supreme Canuck has been gone for quite a while. He and I were having very interesting discussions in PM; I know he gets busy every once in a while, causing the conversations to shift, but it's been months, and I haven't heard from him.

[Tucson_Tim]

Also, where are Dave Mitsky and Serenitude?

[Fazor]

There [I]is/I] an unusual number of regulars mysteriously missing. Hmm. And two of them are mods. I think I'm going to have to refrain from speaking out against the CT'ers. Looks like there's mischief afoot. :think:

[Buttercup]

cosmocrazy is also MIA it seems. :(

[The Supreme Canuck]

I'm here! I'm here! We're approaching final exam season, and I find that BAUT's a little difficult to keep up with when the workload ramps up. Expect to see more of me soon - I'll see if I can't drop by more frequently.

[Gillianren]

Well, hurrah!

[geonuc]

Where's Jim?
Over two months now.

[chrissy]

I have asked the same question Geonuc...:( we don't know as yet.

[Fazor]

I certainly hope for the best; though admittedly I fear that he read one too many of my posts, and is now sitting in a padded cell, rocking back and forth while clad in a clean white jacket of sorts.

[geonuc]

Nah, Jim is tough that way. Mind you, the rest of us are thinking of checking into the Loony Hilton because of you. :D

[Fazor]

:) I thought you were going to say that, as a Texan, he's built up an immunity to crazy.

[mahesh]

yeah, Fazor, our other friend...sunny suntrack....it's been two months since he was last here, too...normally he pops in weekly...I remember he was mentioning about his doctor advising him to ease up on computer use, for his eyesight...absence, may be something to do with it...hope all is well, anyway...

[mahesh]

And I miss dearest of dears, both, Rosie and Lullie...Siriusly.
They have honorary membership here, through their contacts across the Milky Way, with Canis Major and Canis Minor!

[Fazor]

It doesn't seem like it's been that long for Suntrack either. I always very much enjoyed his posts.

[Paul Beardsley]

I certainly hope for the best; though admittedly I fear that he read one too many of my posts, and is now sitting in a padded cell, rocking back and forth while clad in a clean white jacket of sorts.

Hint: The Nervous Tennis Players thread needs fresh blood!

[gzhpcu]

Haven't seen Joe Boy in quite a while either...

[Jeff Root]

Joe Boy sent me an e-mail about a month ago, and we exchanged several
e-mails after that. His last to me was dated March 20, and I haven't yet
got back to him on it.

-- Jeff, in Minneapolis

[steffanie]

cosmocrazy is also MIA it seems. :(

Cosmocrazy is alive and well, just taking a break to sort some stuff out. He will be back:)

[gzhpcu]

Joe Boy sent me an e-mail about a month ago, and we exchanged several

Hope he is OK. He was very active a while back and now nothing...

[Disinfo Agent]

Nadme hasn't posted since last December. :(

[geonuc]

BigDon has been absent for over a month. Given his medical condition, I worry.

[closetgeek]

BigDon has been absent for over a month. Given his medical condition, I worry.


I thought the same thing, Geonuc. Hope to hear from him soon. As for JoeBoy, he told me he was taking a break from BAUT.

[mahesh]

Farmerjumperdon and BigDon....any news?
Hope all's well and having a nice summer....

[Tobin Dax]

BigDon has been absent for over a month. Given his medical condition, I worry.
Since BigBadBoo has an account and since we haven't heard anything, I wouldn't worry too much.

[Big Bad Boo]

Popping in to update: BigDad is all good and dandy. Probably down cause I've been across the country for the past month visiting his other, older, baby. He's also been fishing. I've been bugging him to go out and about so if you need someone to blame for his disappearance... XD

[Tobin Dax]

Don't scare me like that, Boo! I thought I'd jinxed the situation.

Getting out and about is a good thing. It's something I should do more myself. :)

[Swift]

Thanks for the info Big Bad Boo. I hope you are having a great summer and BD catches the big fish.

[Fazor]

Yes, it's great to hear that BD is doing fine. Of course, I'm also jealous to hear that he's been fishing, as I've yet had a chance to restring my pole and head out. Tell him to catch some for me!

[Moose]

What, he's in that room that's so big, you can't even see the ceiling?

[mahesh]

Any body hear from / of Roy Batty?
October 2008, last seen here. Loitering the corridors of BAUT.

May be he's hibernating, in a huff, for the market downturns.

[Neverfly]

Still no news of Jim?

I was wondering that earlier- did a search and up popped this thread. And several other missing members.

[ABR.]

I spotted a Jim post the other day, if I remember correctly. I've been wondering about Roy Batty, myself. I hope that Deckard guy didn't find him....

[Neverfly]

Was it Jim or TheJim?

[ABR.]

Jim. No offense to TheJim, but I think of Jim as rather definitive. In any case, I remember seeing the soccer ref avatar, but I don't recall the thread.

Last post was here (http://www.bautforum.com/small-media-large/93360-just-when-you-think-follywood-cant-sink-any-lower-3.html#post1580208), but Jim was around earlier today.

[Foote]

and Foote too.

Tadaaa!

Not surprising that i was mentioned right after Bogie, his ATM threads were the first ones i gave some input to. Astrophotography was the reason i first joined.

I'm still here and i visit often, though i see i was mentioned in september 08, hah. In between having no internet for certain periods and also getting my *** into gear to become a biochemist, i only visited a couple of times last year.

It's a shame to hear that Bogie is MIA, i think i have his email address wayyy back in my inbox. I'll have to see how he's doing.

Anyways, at least someone noticed i was gone :D thanks.
Hope every1 will be watching the Leonids Meteor Shower on the 17th!

A britch in time saves hine(y). Actually, BA mentioned us during his recent Gnomedex talk.

He hasn't abandoned us, but he is holding down the equivalent of three full-time jobs. Something's gotta give somewhere.
