    I liked Degsy although he's gone a long while. Also Ruu who used to moderate the All Things Retro forum.
    Krudler is another one, he started the "Dental Plan" Simpsons quotes thread that lasted a very long time.

    Bluewolf still posts here under the name Earthhorse, there is also a Bluewolf account but I don't know who's behind it.

    Probably Bluewolf.

    Bluewolf is her own poster ffs, here since 2003 ha ha. Very active.

    I'd bring back Bubbles.

    Or she-who-cannot-be-named. Simply cos that might be mildly amusing.

    In fact, bring them both back, and have some kind of Thunderdome event. By money is on the Tribes player.

    This will only derail the thread. I made that bit up. Earthhorse is Eathhorse, Bluewolf is Bluewolf, Quantum Erasure is Quantum Erasure, and I, Guy Person am Kiki La Rue.

    Clearly, they cannot be named. It used to be a banning offense to even type their username.

    I doubt it is narcissistic at at all. Over the course of my 10,000 or so posts I am fairly sure that it would be possible to piece together (at least roughly) who I am, what I do, where I live, what sports I like, what TV shows I watch. There was even a photo of me somewhere at one point.
    It is hard to be part of a social forum or a community without providing some basic details about who you are.

    How very cryptic and cloak and dagger.

    Yes this is just a forum on the internet.

    But how would any of that become a problem for you, if someone decided to piece it all together?

    I don't really get it... ? Unless someone is admitting to being into some strange quirky stuff, and then their identity is revealed... other than that? What's the issue exactly?

    Like if you were into bondage sessions wearing a hazmat suit, or you dressed up as a lifesize garden gnome and hid in people's back garden at night... stuff like that! :p

    I think LegsElevan became The Bearded Lady. If it's the right person I'm thinking of I think she was a teacher. I think that account is gone too now though.

    Noddin- After hours used to be Noddin centric. Most threads, it was just wait for Noddin and the regular 'adversaries of Noddin' A few wise people would scramble to post early in threads to get their serious in.
    Great. I loved it.

    He may have been thinking about it for a while and then thought "fùck it I'm outta here".

    Or. Well the alternative is too dreadful to contemplate!!

    I am rubbish at picking those out. The detail that's required to construct a whole life online and have it go on for years, inventing a family, interests, background, I don't know.

    Are we more likely to assume a person is a Walter Mitty if they seem to have a pretty good life?

    That’s a bit of a leap. Seemed genuine enough to me. I liked how he was so matter of fact and that riled up posters who like a bit of conspiracy & drama. Hopefully he’ll be back soon.

    That I don't know but god could he be humorless and unjustifiably snarky. Found it bizarre that a man who is older than my father would launch into attack mode every time Mr Fegelian, a kid, started a maybe inane but harmless thread. And I've never seen Mr F get snarky.
