Nini

1. Zombywoof is still here...

He was posting a whole bunch in GDP earlier this week, iirc :)

I also miss my sweetie, CA. Y'all who hated him might be very, very surprised by him now. :loveya:

[bicentennial_baby]

4. I will second Haruka

:thumbsup:

[Quantess]

43. Haruka deserves a second chance, IMO.

I don't think she did anything unforgiveable.

[femmocrat]

5. BillySkank!!!

Has anyone tracked him down? He has been MIA for awhile now.

[graywarrior]

10. I talk to him on MySpace

[femmocrat]

12. Hope he is OK.

[lost-in-nj]

[Rhiannon12866]

25. Thank you. And what exactly happened with newyawker99? Do you know?

Roni welcomed me to DU on my very first post, five-and-a-half years ago. I think her last post was last July, but she was still listed as a mod for the last term. I really do miss her...;(

[lost-in-nj]

7. Kephra

I was a lurker when he died
he died like my brother

I cry

to many gone for always


I think I cried for weeks between him and Kephra
lost

[SeattleGirl]

26. Me too.

I was able to go to Andy's memorial service, which was beautiful. I met his mom (a lovely person), as well as termite and Ballot. It was also sad, knowing we were saying goodbye to such a beautiful soul.

[woofless]

76. I was there too.

Such a day. Andy was a beacon. So many saw the light.

Woof

[Guava Jelly]

13. I miss Haruka

And I miss a few Du'rs who rarely post anymore.

[Haole Girl]

27. I miss her too. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Definitely Andy, aka God_bush_n_cheney, and where is newyawker99?

Two of my first friends on DU...:shrug:;(

[khashka]

15. Khephra, Haruka

Zombywoof is still around but much too rarely

Khash.

[liberaltrucker]

16. Crazy Gunderheim(sp)

But since he was TSed, I guess it's moot.

[chknltl]

48. Guggenheim

The name came from a character on the Jackie Gleason show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGPCHT_NAus (Crazy Guggenheim appears about a fourth of the way in.)

[GCP]

19. Khephra definitely

He was unique - a great gentleman.

[begin_within]

20. Kudzu

[boilerbabe]

45. I remember that person!

I just mentioned you as someone I haven't seen on DU--duh! I'm getting senile...

[KG]

52. heh. good to see you!

i thought you were MIA!

[Haole Girl]

24. idgiehkt, u4ic, bassic...

Though I just caught a bassic sighting when I searched for my similar thread that dropped like a rock. Still haven't seen idgiehkt or u4ic around in a very long time. :-(

[Bassic]

85. Yeah I still come around sometimes.

Though I'm much quiter than I was.

[Rhiannon12866]

28. I also miss nicknameless and Sapphire Blue...

Such beautiful and caring people...;(

[Starbucks Anarchist]

56. I think I saw SB in GD the other day.

[malta blue]

57. Sapphire Blue passed away....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=3266336

:cry:

[bicentennial_baby]

58. No, that's her daughter...

Sapphire Blue passed away around Thanksgiving. Her daughter posted about it in GD last week, I think. :(

[Starbucks Anarchist]

59. Really?

Oh, man. Rest in Peace, SB.

[EFerrari]

29. Ben.

[orleans]

41. yes. ben. n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. oneighty... i sure could use one of our chats about now.

He was a gentleman, a friend and a wonderful human being. It times I wish I could reinstill some sort of faith in life after...so that I would know that perhaps he and my husband are off fishing somewhere...


...and nsma...I miss our pots of okra...

[Iris]

70. yes, oneighty

so sad that he's gone.

I hope you're right about the fishing! :hug:

[Skittles]

74. yes

Ed was a wonderful guy

[LeftyMom]

31. Haruka

:patriot:

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. ...and Haruka...

Thank goodness I have her phone number or I'd be having horrid withdrawals right about now.

[tjwmason]

47. Another Harukan here

Definitely not the same without her.

[Midlodemocrat]

49. Yet another. She rocks.

[Iris]

73. how long has she been gone?

[lildreamer316]

33. Perseid (sp?) n/t

[Lil Missy]

42. I think I know who your mean. That was pretty mysterious ....

[UrbScotty]

34. JohnKleeb

What is he doing nowadays?

[Rhiannon12866]

36. He's in college and doing very well.

I still hear from him occasionally. But you're very right that DU isn't the same without him...:-(

[Iris]

67. College students are allowed here!

[Iris]

68. oops!

[Rhiannon12866]

82. He's just gotten really busy, says he's different than when he hung out on DU...

But he's still very well-informed about what's been going on in politics...:-)

[Iris]

83. that's understandable. Ah, well. Maybe he'll wander back one day!

[Rhiannon12866]

86. He's working really hard on his studies, and I've told him that DU is a tremendous resource.

But he already knows that. His interests are politics and history, so I think he may be back sometime. He's one very bright guy.:-)

[Drum]

35. kudzu, long hair, Haruka,

and in some forums, civility. :(

Well, just kidding about the long hair.

[Jamastiene]

37. Haruka, always...

I pretty much always put her name in these types of threads. I miss her presence on DU. She was fun.

[sakabatou]

38. I miss Kephra

Didn't know Nostamj was gone, but woof is still here, just not posting.

And what of Haruka? People say she's gone but, is did she just quit or something?

[khashka]

51. About Haruka....

The way I heard it she was banned. But that's just rumour, so I don't know for sure. But I want her back. She could stir up trouble, but she was always fun.

Khash.

[sakabatou]

54. True, she was fun

[Deja Q]

62. She was banned.

That's all I know about that situation. But like you said, she could stir up trouble. Such trolling is against the rules and she must gone too far. That's all I can infer from the situation.

[khashka]

63. I don't know what she did

but I know a couple mods and you don't get banned right off, you get a warning, then another warning......

And most mods are pretty easy going. I once called a mod the C word. Which you can't use on DU, especially in a personal attack. I apologized to her. But I didn't even get a warning.

Khash.

[JCMach1]

39. Now I feel old...

Too many people to miss... :(

[boilerbabe]

44. ProlesUnited, AWD, YoungRed, KG?

I may have the names wrong. These were people that I used to see a lot when I first joined DU a few years ago. We all met at a march in D.C. in '03 or '04. Wonderful people!

[Iris]

71. check post 52

[chknltl]

46. Crazy Guggenheim nt

[Wetzelbill]

50. the beautiful fresianrider, I miss that girl

Not sure why she was Granite Cookied, but she was.

And my good friend, Alarcojon. RIP.

[auntAgonist]

53. Sister_ Rosa_Refried. whatever happened to her?

:shrug:


:hi:

[KamaAina]

55. markus

he who introduced me to the parallel universe known as the NOLA blogosphere.

Some of the best writing about New Orleans -- actually some of the best writing out there, period -- is available at Toulouse Street, the most prestigious address in all of cyberspace.

http://toulousestreet.wordpress.com

edit: he wasn't TS'd or anything, just decided that blogging, not to mention raising a family in "Debrisville", took priority.

[bertha katzenengel]

61. I miss

Misunderestimator

[HughBeaumont]

64. progmom

One of those posters where you never really talked to them, but wish you had done so while they were here. That woman was beautiful in her own special way.

rman was also a brother in the relentless pursuit of truth.









Oh, yeah. It's time to decriminalize Haruka. NOW.

[Iris]

72. what happend to progmom?

[HughBeaumont]

75. Dropped long ago . . .

. . . apparently for airing too much personal stuff in public.

[DS1]

66. Slice

[Midlodemocrat]

80. Little Wing.

[Iris]

69. NewYawker99

happy birthday!

[mainegreen]

87. Damned straight. n/t

[Awsi Dooger]

77. Jiacinto

It's fashionable to knock him based on the troubled posts of his final months here, but he contributed a ton, including insightful examination of voting trends in obscure races and counties. There's not much of that type of analysis anymore.

[GCP]

79. Oldleftylawyer

She used to be on GD - always a voice of common sense.

[chemenger]

81. SouixJ

Haven't heard from lionesspryanka in a while either. Always enjoyed her "questions" posts.

[GOPisEvil]

84. SiouxJ is a name from the past that I miss a lot.

Of course a lot of other great names have been mentioned as well. I've met so many good people through this site.
