Whatever happened to [insert username here]?
For those of you who were around in the early days, and those like me who came later but made a habit of looking at the old threads, you know there is some real gold in the old. It's a joy to look back a the past once in a while. So let's do it together. Instead of bumping old threads, it would make more sense to provide quotes and links to contributions by a user in a new thread specific to him.
Pick any past user you enjoyed for whatever reason. Do some reading of the old posts and put links and quoted of the good times in your "Whatever happened to" thread. Be sure to include his username in the title.
Some of these threads will be about a user who hasn't posted in a while.
Have they left the building or left the planet?
Innocent until proven guilty, right?
Those who are merely MIA will be considered vertical until proven horizontal.
A few of these guys might just wander back in someday. Ya never know.
Those known to be deceased will have a R.I.P. thread in the In Memoriam subforum.
If two users start a thread about the same guy, no worries. A staff member can just merge the threads.
I can't be as entertaining and glib as the great ones but if we all share some of those moments together it might inspire us to keep things light and breezy. Maybe the next great ones will like what they see and stick around. Are you in? Let's go!
