As it has been observed before, I pop in about once every 3-6 months, post enough for three mortal men, then disappear again. I like it, it works for me. The problem is that I lose track of people.

Any body know what happened to ph? Did she change user names or something? And has Geoff stopped posting uder the Rat named Dog name? Or has he just been MIA altogether? And what about people I cant think of right now because Im at work and have mortgage rates fixed in my brain, difficult to dislodge.

gotta know where all the 'rackers are
 
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
 
pH has kind of drifted off. I seem to remember her posting, maybe sometime last summer, and saying that she was really busy.

Geoff is still posting fairly frequently, or at least he was not too long ago. I think he's using both his A Rat Named Dog and his Geoff Card signons.

Icarus has been posting under the name Megachirops for the past little while, partly because he's avoiding an upcoming landmark post #, and partly because he hasn't been feeling very Icarusey lately.

If someone's initials are "a" and "k", chances are they're Anne Kate. Ana kata is her latest, I think.

Let's see, who else...

ahhh...posting under a different name to avoid a landmark post. I remember those days fondly. [Smile]

What's up with Belle?

And now that Jeffrey Getzin has sort of returned, can Bonduca be far behind?

And how come Tom Davidson never posts anymore. ( [Razz]
 
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
 
pH began dating Vin Diesel, whose publicity agent forbade her from posting at Hatrack until and unless she assumed anonymity through a new username. Her last known alias was "Anastasia," but she gave that one up rather quickly.

Geoff Card also is avoiding a landmark, so had returned to the "A Rat Named Dog" screenname. However, he has gotten married recently, and his wife's publicity agent similarly forbade his posting here. He was last seen posting as "Trogdor The Burninator." Posts you see now by "A Rat Named Dog" are being made by his sister Zina.

you know, i heard Vin Diesel is a real life dork playing D&D and all that good stuff.

He's one of us!
 
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
 
Yes, he's posting here as well. I've been told not to give out his screenname, but let's just say it rhymes with "Klaegar the Snool." Shhh....
 
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
 
Officially, Belle's busy living her life. I think there's probably more to it than that though, since her leaving coincided with her misunderstanding a post of Icarus's and getting really upset. If somebody knows more than I do and I'm completely wrong on this one, just let me know and I'll edit my post.
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
Noemon, I think the latter part is true (although more complex), but only as impetus. Belle hasn't even been on AIM for quite some time. [Frown] Unless she has another screenname I am not privy to?

She's really busy with one of those "life" things. I need to find out more about those . . .

*Looks at Strider suspiciously*

Where's Jebus? His last post thread is getting too long. He needs to return at least long enough to start another one.

Hi, this is Geoff, I swapped to this name for a while because people kept calling me Rat, when clearly my name is Dog. Come on people, Rat Named DOG.

At least people seem to get this name right.

You mean Geoff is Trisha the Severe Hottie? So that means T_Smith is hot for Geoff? And Geoff agreed to go out with him? And Geoff has a kid? Wow, this is better than the Soap Opera Channel!

But his last post thread will live on, and apparently always on the first page...

Ok, Rhaegar. Keep up the charade. I got your back on it. (And we won't discuss who Eruve really is, because that would give everything away, now wouldn't it? I already threw them with the "last known alias" bit.)

No, you gotta take it one step further. When rivka said Geoff, she meant Zina. The "having" a kid thing is code for being a kid. It allows her to reference things that only a nine-year-old or the parent of one would know.

T_Smith is hot for her, though. That part's correct.

Um, Pop, you say that as if there were a fair amount of overlap.
 
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
 
I know it works with two-year-olds. I couldn't sing the theme song to every cartoon on PBS, Disney, and Nickelodeon a couple years ago....
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
*pat pat* You just keep thinking it'll always work that way.

Hmm. Maybe with boys it does.




I mean, I read many of her books -- like Redwall and the Artemis Fowl series. But she has a whole life separate from mine already. And she's not even a teenager yet [Angst] (although not for want of trying to act like one [Wink] ).

Last I spoke to him (2 months ago?) he was busy with his new job and having a life.

Hmm, another person with one of those "life" thingies. Really must look into getting one of those.
 
Posted by Paul Goldner (Member # 1910) on :
 
Missing pH sorta annoys me :-P

Basically the last time I spoke to her was when she came to check out the city of boston, I hung out with her for an evening... and then BAM, gone... not even on AIM or MSN anymore.

If anyone has her email address at school, i'd really appreciate if they could email it to me... thanks.
 
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
 
So what you're saying, Paul, is that YOU scared pH away from the rest of us? [Frown]
 
Posted by Trisha the Severe Hottie (Member # 6000) on :
 
Ya'll got *me* confused. I think T knows who I am, but I'm not sure who else does. BannaOJ might, and possibly Celia60 (you'll always be 6000 in my heart) but I'm not really sure. I think there is one other who should know but since I can't remember who it was... I'm not sure it wasn't also me.
 
Posted by odouls268 (Member # 2145) on :
 
ok trish, enlighten me.
Who art thou? Where art thou from? Where art thou going? Art thou truly female? Art thou truly a hottie of a severe nature? and most importantly, shoudst this be the case, art thou of age?

So WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN for two and a half years, Scott??!!!!

Posted by Trisha the Severe Hottie (Member # 6000) on :
 
My bad! Though I think we agreed that Ralphie is more than Severely Hot(tm). And Farmgirl has that heartland hotness. Odoul, don't you have that alcohol-free hotness? Or am I confused?
 
Posted by odouls268 (Member # 2145) on :
 
I do tend to stand by my alcohol free status. as for me being a hottie; well, one glance at the hatrack photo album will put that one to rest. Just look at me being silly in the swimming pool. im a goof, tried and true.
 
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
 
Not a goof!

I definately would think you were a hottie (if I were 20 years younger...)

Scott, welcome back!

I met Scott when I was brand new to Hatrack, and then he dissapeared. It's nice to see you. [Smile]

Most things are the same, although all the players have changed.
 
Posted by scottneb (Member # 676) on :
 
I picked up a new job and was away training for a while. Plus I haven't really been feeling phylosophical enough to post anything.

We should start an alchohol free club and have a secret hideout and secret password!
 
Posted by odouls268 (Member # 2145) on :
 
and the password should be BAC 0.0

It's nice to see your still here katharina.
 
Posted by Happy Camper (Member # 5076) on :
 
So I guess getting married is part of the pledge process to becoming a Hatrack Hottie? No wonder I haven't gotten my certificate yet... Y'all really need to make a list of induction requirements. And yes, I realize that I did, in fact, use the term y'all.

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :
 
OMG, is HC a woman?

They let women be dirt engineers up there? [Angst]
 
Posted by Happy Camper (Member # 5076) on :
 
Nope, surely not, I just figured with all the hottieness there had to be at least a little for the male side of things. Maybe not. [Roll Eyes]

Silverblue Sun, who I believe signed his posts as Thor from time to time, hasn't been around for a bit. But things move pretty fast.
 
Posted by Paul Goldner (Member # 1910) on :
 
Tom-
I guess so. Of course, the first time I hung out with pH she CAME BACK from being MIA... so I don't know what that says?

Um, nope. That was not my post.
 
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
 
I really think people stay at Hatrack because they like it, and they leave when they are ready. I seriously doubt that anyone permanently leaves over a single person's post.

Proof of this is the large number of people who sign off in a huff and last barely 24 hours away. Belle's been away for a long time, and whatever the reason, it isn't over a single post or thread.
 
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
 
Really? I could have sworn it was you. Huh. Well, I'm getting all kinds of stuff like that wrong lately; in another thread I referred to Kat and Anne kate's epic fight, only to find out that it was actually kat and Olivet's.

Who was it then? Bob?

[Edit--Olivet, not Belle. My god, I'm on a roll, aren't I]

I'll probably get a lot of flack for this one but, whatever happed to Thor?
 
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
 
Thor got a job that sweetheart. [Smile] He's also posting under Silverblue Sun for anyone that didn't know. He hasn't posted in a LONG time though.

I've seen Ralphie snicker here and there, but I miss her. I hope she and her family are doing ok.
 
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
 
It hasn't been that that long since Thor stopped posting. I think he lurks a little, because I started a "Paging Thor" thread a while back and he did answer.

He's working as some sort of wholesale book sales distributor as I recall and swamped with a bunch of stuff in real life. I think it is what he needed though.

I still kind of miss him, he definitely added spice to the forum.

Anyways, I'm home for the holidays, and I'll try to start posting again. Honest!
