Now I know everyone is gonna say PinBallJim, but is there anyone else?

I wish Donkbaca would come back, I used to give him a hard time but he took it in stride and came back with something funny all the time.. Generally a swell guy.

Bones, DrewKaree, shmokes, Joymonkey

A few others whose usernames are escaping me at the moment.

Oh, yeah, and saint.

PBJ and Donk. VanillaGorilla pokes his head in every once in a while, but not enough.

Sandheaver.

JMB · « **Reply #3 on:** June 13, 2013, 10:26:56 am »

So many have come and gone. Couple off the top of my head, Shardian and Frizz.

Well Fed Games · « **Reply #4 on:** June 13, 2013, 10:28:02 am »

Does anyone remember if there was a reason some of these folks left (shmokes, donk, joymonkey, etc.) or did they just fade away? I'm not in P'n'R' (it is for the best) so I must have missed something. I don't remember many people going out in a blaze of drama, except for pbj who just took his posts and went home. I def. miss shmokes.

Is shmokes really gone? Seems I saw a post from him recently. Kaytrim comes to mind, where did he go?

I think people just get busy. I come here for the social interactions more than the video game building, to be honest.

Missioncontrol, Goz, pointdablame, Santoro and Stringray were great to have here as well. I know I am missing more names myself. Can someone go get these guys back out of their fortress of solitude for more than the occasional random post?

I miss Mikezilla. Good guy, great stories about as random as mine. (Bed wetting GF comes to mind.

) Reminds me of a college roommate I had.

And of course the rants from Donkbaca were priceless. The Centipede/moon patrol rants were so damn enjoyable after hearing threads of endless love for every game of that era. It was entertaining to finally see someone vocal about hating a game. Things got crazy with him in the mix.

Most of the people mentioned above must have just moved on. Or moved to the "other" forum. Not a lot happens in PnR so don't think that could be a cause. PnR is almost idle except in Presidential election years.

u_rebelscum. Been 3+ years or so since he posted. Huge asset with more knowledge about Mame and it's code than most of us combined. All the other flapjacks listed were great members but Robin's knowledge hasn't been easily replaced.

Ginsu too. He got laid off and went back to school so he isn't as active as he was a few years ago.

I missed out on what prompted that move. I was on my crazy "internet sabbatical" at the time, and they give you the boot if you don't post. Could never check back to see what happened.

Donkbaca was fun when he was interpolating weirdness into others' posts, but when he got harshawed, he quickly became sad and dissent (points for knowing where that came from - hint: it's from something I've referenced recently, elsewhere).

Cheffo. His grumpiness is always entertaning.

I miss Jakobud. Technically he's still around, but I think he makes a post maybe once a year.

I still use his plans though.

I think sadly that some of us are in it for the Journey (Don't Stop... Belivin!) and others are just in it for the destination. You'll see people do something really cool and then they disappear because they built what they wanted.

Myself I wish I knew how to quit you guys. No homo

Fozzy The Bear and Frizz were both real active back when I was lurking.

I'd like MikeDuece to come back and finish this prototype.

I have to admit having spent some time over on KLOV that PBJ's snark had some style.

All the guys you mentioned, and maybe javeryh, did he get lost in building that home theater?
Also, where is LoadMan?
I havent seen weishaupt (SP, the guy who did the cool Ghost in the Machine.)
There are several who were working on rotating monitor projects, cant recall everyones names.

Has anyone thought of opening a new account under a different name just to mess with people? Im thinking of opening one using "driverman."
