Who do you miss from TPM?

[Drago]

Hey, another slightly dubious topic I thought I'd throw out there, because it's something I've been dwelling on recently, and I thought any excuse to give TPM more topics is valid.

So my question is, who do you miss from TPM's past? People who don't seem to be around anymore, and don't show any sign of coming back? We've had a lot of great members over the years who have since taken their leave, and I thought I might ask y'all what you think...
I also realise that shazza asked this question back in 2004, but I figured it's worth asking once again.

First for me, as I've often mentioned, I quite miss SilverMachop. He was really cool and supportive, and I still think Tyler & Magmar is great, even though it hasn't been seen for quite some time.

I also miss Ginger Cat, 'cause for me she was a valuable part of a great time for the RPG forum. I always looked forward to seeing what she had to post.

And that reminds me, I miss Ruffie too! I had fun RPing with a lot of people, come to think of it.

And finally, Lawrence III_Fanatic. Now there's someone who really makes me feel nostalgic. She was also a whole lotta fun too, I'll always remember a reply she made to 'things that scared you as a kid' (roughly paraphrased)
oh, and my feet
i thought they were looking at me

[Asilynne]

I miss ginger too x.x I think it might be too much to hope for her coming back for dawns sequal, her char was the one that kicked started the first one...;.; Ginger-sai :<

[Heald]

I miss yelling at all the people I scared off from the forums, such as WPM.

I also miss the fact that an RPG would occasionally finish, or at least get past 10 pages.

[Magmar]

Raichu, Asher Ketchum All, Saria, Charity, Ginger Cat, Scyther, Too Cool Scyther too...

ya know, the cool kids.

[kainashi]

i miss george (dodrio) and tron. tron had to go get a girl knocked up and i don't know what george is up to. there are a few others, like tcs, etc.

[Blademaster]

I also miss the fact that an RPG would occasionally finish, or at least get past 10 pages.

I'd say I missed that, too, but I've sadly never seen it.

As for me, I miss Ace64, Dark Dragonite, and Kevvaelli. They were great guys, but they just suddenly vanished one day...

[DarkTemplarZero]

Bunch of people I haven't talked to in a while. Evil Child is probably a 20 year old father of 16 by now, been a few months since I last talked to Denryuu72, my old ASB crew of DarkLugia, PTC, D_PF, Gengachu, ace who I haven't heard from sober in years, Madelyn151, so many people. And of course I miss LuGiA007 more than anyone

[Master Rudy]

Agreed....she is sorely missed in the RPG forum

[Crystal Mew]

pretty much all of my close friends on here I still keep in contact with (over aim,lj, myspace, ect) but I dont get to talk to some of them as often as i'd like and that makes me sad

I recently started talking to clark though

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

I miss Chris the Sandlash, his posts were always very interesting. And I miss Hyrulian_Genius for his infamous replies to entire threads, e.g. "Well done?" ... "... =/" and last but not least " ;( ".

kurai (h_g) isn't even around much on mirc anymore. i guess i should've mentioned him too.

[Phoenixsong]

I miss people like Iveechan, Agent Elrond and WFM. Fanart was actually active and fun when they were around.

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

Hehe, WFM draws adult Pokémon art nowadays. ^^;

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I miss many people, don't even remember their names...

Take Pokémon Anime forum for example, there's no Hanada Tattsu posting in every other post, and there's no Gentleben arranging quizes.

I also miss the other Finns like HaRWeY and neighbouring Swedes like celebipower. And then there was ILikePokémon;P who put the Mews on my Pokémon Red I sent to Australia.

And I didn't even get a chance to post here because I ignored the Advanced Generation forum!

...except for me (which I highly doubt ), they're giving away Eon Tickets at Kinopalatsi in Helsinki today (Feb 20) between 11am and 6pm.

Just thought I'd tell ya.

..."highly doubt"...ha ha ha...

[Dark-San]

Hmm, who do I missed from TPM? I had been here for quite sometime already, though most of the time I only hung around in either TCG or OA. Hence it comes at a no surprise that the people, who I missed would be from these forums.

Firstly, I had the chance to become good friends with Tyranitar#248. I doubt nobody here knows him but he is one dude that knows how to operate a Tyranitar deck. Besides earning respect due to this, he was actually the first few in this forum to actually took up Duel Monsters. Though he was not the best of players, his adventurous attitude and ambition calls for one to respect him even more.

The other member that I would missed would be pika23. Yeah, she was the first person I came into contact to when I decide to mingle around with the members from the other forums. She was a good friend to chat with and we shared quite a lot in common.

[Lady Vulpix]

I miss...

Gone without a trace:
- Alex (level100Mewtwo, Shadowmew2 and aliases)

- Crystal (*Dratini*)
- Scott (Indraugnir)
- Connor (Pidgeot)
- squirtle_flame
- The many Amandas
- The two Taras (PancaKe and Meowth_Kitten)

Still online sometimes but it's not the same:
- Danny (Aipom of Doom)
- Charlie (Aglandiir)
- Patrick (Dragon_Clan and aliases)
- PlatinumHawke

May pop up on TPM eventually or still in touch but not on TPM:
- Karin (Charizard04621)
- Ade (AntiAsh Superstar)
- Soo (Bugsy, Kirei)
- Julina (Phantom of Innocence-bf)
- Tyler (Avian Freeze and aliases)
- Will (DragonairRider)

...Among others. These are just the ones I miss the most.

[Zak]

there's no Hanada Tattsu posting in every other post

That is probably a good thing. Every other post? That was quite annoying to be honest.


I miss... well, most from ummmm are still online though it's not really the same, except for Craig and Sam (CM). But those I miss I haven't heard from in a while include... PNT510, shazza, cool daddy, Dashira, Jay Umbreon, Starmew15, Katie (well actually heard from her recently), Todd (Indecent Exposure), ASHarris.

Sorry if I didn't mention anyone, and anyone that I mentioned thats actually still here is probably just not the same.

[Silver Ledian]

Basically any of the ummmm regulars. It was always good to have somethin' to do late at night when I wasn't tired enough to go to bed but had already kinda finished postin' at the usual places for the night.

[Katie]

Katie

I didn't go anywhere, there just aren't any threads to post in. >:[


- I miss fanart. Like the fanart from 01-02ish I guess. (I just got the getting-old vibes. I don't like those. ) Names are escaping me, but yeah. Back when fanart was about paper + medium. Computer shit is cool, but after 9000 sprite and banner threads it got pretty stupid.

-ummmmers. Well, most of them. I could have gone out and did stuff outside of my house, but fuck that, chats were poppin

-That pbs bunch that randomly trolled out of nowhere. They didn't have anything to say, but I loved watching mods and high-and-mighty-nobodies getting their panties in a bunch.

[Zak]

Exactly. If it weren't for my status I wouldn't be surprised if I'd seen people mention me, for the above reason, and there aren't any threads to moderate anymore, hehe.

that's not an invitation to give me one, though.

[mr_pikachu]

Zak.

...Okay, okay, fine. Let's see... there's Tara (PancaKe), obviously. ZeldaFan20's another long-gone fanficcer. Been awhile since I've seen Karin (Charizard04621), too.

I know there are others, but I can't think of them right now. Perhaps that'll be in a future edit.

[Kris]

Soo and Ade definately, and then Danny (AOD). Hmm I remember people like furret1987 who I havent spoken to in years and Lezta

Agree with others, the ummmmm people. That was a great chat room!!

omg Lezta! There's a name I haven't spotted in a long time. And there's a distinct lack of shazza about the boards nowadays, under any alias. And while we're at it, wtf has happened to Raz...

[Magmar]

Has anyone tried to contact some of these old school peeps on Facebook? I know I found Raichu that way... XD I wish I could remember their last names... (or what Asher Ketchum All chose for a new name when he became a she... think it was Katrina?)

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And while we're at it, wtf has happened to Raz...

Wasn't he the member who always argued with The Rusted One? Sure, those were high quality posts, but some miscellaneous topics were boring because every second post was Raz's and every second one TRO's.

Anyway, it would be great if at least some of the valuable members returned...

And by returning, I don't mean them to post a 'I came back!'-topic and then leaving again!!

[Heald]

Nah, that was me. Then Raz would usually come in to serve us all a huge can of whoop-ass.

Otherwise, not sure what happened to Raz. Maybe he figured he 'sold out' when he accepted a modding position and hanged himself. At least, that's what I would do.

[homeofmew]

I miss CuteLassJigglyPuff, MasterPokemonH, and a few other of the old posters like Dark Dragonite also.. Is Ryan Lutz still here? lol

[Gligar12]

Hello all. I left this forum in the spring of 2001, after being a moderator at RBY... does anyone recognize me?

[Leon-IH]

I miss basically everyone who posted on the GSC forum..

[Bulbasaur4]

I miss DarkArticuno47 and Ginger Cat. We used to have grand ole times together... especially when we made up the term, "Coolas" and became a trio. *ssiiiiigh*

Good ole'times!

[darktyranitar]

Some of the people that I missed are:
-WPM (Can't forget that guy - how he gets around and annoy everyone else )
-Alec Travelyn (Is that how it's spelled? I remember that he's one of the reason why TCG board was popular back then)
-Evil Mewf0ur aka Asylum (He's still here, as far as I know, though he remains as a lurker now - and I think he perhaps hold a record for writing a load of fics in the past)

Other who I didn't get to know much, but still missed their presence:
-Hanada Tattsu
-Iveechan
-Agent Elrond
-The Rusted One
-Pancake
-And a few fanficcers that I can't recall their names (I remember there's one guy, he had the most... weirdest-and-random writing style, like he write the typos in his fic on purpose or something)

[Toxicity]

Maybe he figured he 'sold out' when he accepted a modding position and hanged himself. At least, that's what I would do.

Would anybody at the very least lurk Other Pokémon Games on a regular basis? At least the site I'm a mod on is decently active...

I'm shocked I'm the first to mention Zak Hunter.

[darktyranitar]

Zak Hunter? As in, the guy who is now Tainted?

Last time I saw him, he had posted a short story (that was after he got through chemotheraphy, IIRC)

Mm, I remember his blunt, brutal, and straight-to-the-point style writing. Love 'em.

And speaking of him, I do relate the 'Zak Hunter smokes pot. If you are Zak Hunter, copy and paste this in your sig' with him. Heheh.

[Heald]

Zak Hunter was a fucking legend. I loved that guy.

I also miss The Muffin Man. Best mod ever.

[Toxicity]

Simply put, Mike did all that he did for the lulz.

I don't think we'll see any current/future mods that would replace that legacy, although Roy Karrde is starting to pose as a challenger to said legacy.

[Magmar]

Anyone know whatever happened to Zak Hunter? We used to chat sometimes, on AIM and such, then he just disappeared one day.

He said he had cancer, quite astonishingly. Hopefully he has made a full recovery.

[Magmar]

Yeah, I heard about the cancer from him, but then he just stopped coming online completely, which doesn't bode well.

[Dark Scizor]

I've completely forgotten who I really miss.

Other than Otto, Gligar_something, I forget. But I guess a lot of people who posted in GSC back when TPM was at its peak. Also people in PCG. Otherwise, I've drawn a blank.

For some reason, my brain can't compute "Roy Karrde" and "legacy" in the same post. ;_;
