Where are they now?

Postby MouflonKerata » Wed Nov 14, 2012 2:58 pm

I remember the gloden age of this forum a few years ago.

Been reading and lurking for years on and off. Even had an account but can't recall my user or password but never contributed mind you.

Some of the past members which don't seem to be active anymore had some useful information to contribute and added to the ambience. The forum doesn't seem to be the same without the big characters of the past.

Surely the discussion about Facebook may seem ironic in the context of this topic. This social media is a big threat to forums which is a shame really. Have they succumbed?

Just been searching the forum: memberlist.php?sk=d&sd=d

and recall many of the names there.

I remember members such as Kifeas, Paphitis, Miltiades, Oracle, Nikitas, Zan, DT et al

Where are they now? Perhaps they can drop in and say hello for old times sake. :?

The forum is not the same without these guys.

No can't be!

Oracle is unmistakeable and unique just like the other forumers mentioned. I could be mistaken though.

By why post if you can't be yourself?

There is a reason why the forum has gone downhill. Many big contributors seem to be absent so what caused them to pick up their bat and ball and go home?

The new wave of forumers are just not quite sharp enough.

Welcome (back) MouflonKerata (nice name :) ).

Well Cyprusgrump you do honour me with your jibes on association with the likes of Kifeas and Nikitas. Both heavyweight intellectuals and much respected. As I recall, Paphitis couldn't juggle his many conflicting personas - but I hope he has reconciled with himself. Miltiades is around as Milti and DT. was posting earlier. As for Zan, he was rather unwell (something laughable like his burlesque mental health issues and some not so funny like his lung condition).

Anyway, CG, you are such a little media socialite that you just HAD to create your very own forum to feed your obsession. :D

(The only thing I don't like about this forum is the rapid decline into attacking the poster rather than commenting on what is being said. Familiarity breeds contempt, I suppose, and some feel they can say things about others, pseudo-authoritatively, on matters which have nothing to do with the topics under discussion. Notice how quickly CG fell into the wind-up category of postings. :roll: )

Hello...

Well, this topic has bought one back from the dead.

Yes agree, the forum is a mere shadow of years gone by. But maybe that is just the way it is. People come and go.

I hope good health finds them wherever they are.

Happy to hear that some mentioned are still present. As for those that are not, then perhaps this thread will bring them out of the woods.

And may good health find Zan in particular. I enjoyed his black hat type of humour.
