Open question TWIMC: While doing some bookmark house-cleaning, I came upon the names

[Surya Gayatri]

of some DUers of yesteryear who appear to have fallen off the map. Can anyone tell me what's happened to these members?

graywarrior

ProSense

Tx4obama

dipsydoodle

The Magistrate

Have they been PPRed? Have they stopped posting for health reasons?

Anybody? Thanks for any light you can shed.

1. I think

of those posters, only graywarrior is actively posting.Don't know what happened to the others.

[Surya Gayatri]

2. Thanks for trying...dispsydoodle lives in the UK and we often posted very early in the morning

before anybody else was about, both being on European time. It's a bit disconcerting when user-names just vanish from the board.

3. I'm not sure,

but I think ProSense was booted at some point a few months back. Possibly could still be posting here under another pseudonym though. Maybe they'll see this post and contact you by pm.

5. No, she was not "booted". She just got tired of DU. nt

7. Contract expired.

Same with Tx4.

13. This is uncalled for

[Surya Gayatri]

16. Thanks for catching and confronting the snarky innuendo. Totally gratuitous.

[mcar]

17. My pleasure

You have a nice OP. I don't get why people feel the need to poop on nice things.

[Surya Gayatri]

18. Some people are cyber-incontinent! Can't control their excretions...LOL!

[mcar]

19. ...

[morningfog]

20. So is disruptive message control propaganda.

[Surya Gayatri]

10. Thanks for troubling to answer, NC. Scarletwoman says she left of her own accord...

[NuclearDem]

11. ProSense posted a few months ago.

[Agschmid]

12. Not booted.

[scarletwoman]

4. You don't have to wonder about whether anyone has been PPR'd, you can look for yourself.

Go to your inbox, there's a little username search box on the upper left. Type in the username - when you get the result, click on that name and it will take you to their profile.

For example, dipsydoodle's profile lists her/him as Active (not PPR'd) and the date of her/his last post: Sun Sep 28, 2014, 11:26 AM.

In the case of ProSense and The Magistrate, at certain points over the past few months other DUers who have had contact with them outside of DU have mentioned that they voluntarily stopped posting here - suffering from DU fatigue, basically.

Anyway, take a look for yourself!

8. Bless you, scarlet! Who knew? This board has so many bells and whistles

that I'm still discovering stuff all these years later.

6. the magistrate

[Surya Gayatri]

9. Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, mopinko. Really appreciated The Magistrate's measured voice.

[mcar]

14. I loved his posts

I hope he returns.

[mopinko]

15. me too. had the pleasure

of meeting him back when this place was still small enough to have a meetup once in a while.
