One guy, who was only around for a couple of months was Burg66.
He practically Ran the Runes forum during his stay, anyone know why he hasn't come back?

Zef wasn't worth the troubles he caused. Jay was beyond patient with that dude, and frankly, there's no loss of intelligent conversationalists on this list, even w/o Zef.

I thought Baradakas had said something awhile ago that he had a new job that was keeping him very busy? :?

Damelon says he is busy in real life right now.
Love as thou wilt.

My favorite thing about him was this one time (we should make a Zef memorial thread) he said "Well, sometimes I get beligerant when I'm posting drunk. Before you say that I shouldn't get on the boards while I'm drunk, let me tell you that I'm always drunk, so I'd never be able to get on the boards" or something like that.
Heheh... yeah, he seemed like a good person at heart. You know, really deep down. Like... bunker buster deep.
Start where you are,

OMG!!! I made the MIA?!!! COOL. Someone missed me!!! Sorry I've been away so long folks, someone stuck my life in the blender, dumped in some ice and hit "puree". The job is no longer an issue unfotunately, nor is the engagement. However I still won't be on as much due to my now limited internet capability. I miss all of you, and I will try to be here once a week if possible.

And LM, I'm touched that it was you who missed me. (sniffle)

No worries. Sure it'll work out for the best.

Glad to know I'm missed. :)

Actually, I've been lurking without much time to get involved in any particular thread - though I've been very tempted to put my two cents in on the Pope Benedict thread. ;)
