Seeing as time to time, people will completely dissapear from Hatrack, I thought it would be fun to create a thread to tally who is missing from Hatrack. Also, seeing as this might be a good way to tell if people are missing, I thought it might be a good idea if people could tell that they are leaving, here. So anyone, if you will be gone for a while, (2 weeks or longer) come and tell us here. Then, there would be less wondering, and if you want, we could know when you are coming back.
Everyone feel free to join in, as this will be quite the fun thread!

Every time I check Hatrack, he's never posted anything new.

Posted by MrSquicky (Member # 1802) on :
Ok, ok. Let's review my options.
Option 1: I really died. I knew I was playing with the odds expecting a illogical piece of technology to deal with three chili cheese burritos. Plus, dear lord, I think I had a package of non-dairy coffee creamer on me. No one knows how that stuff works. I knew I shouldn't have worn my red shirt today.
Option 2: I've been phase shifted. I'm not entirely sure what that means, so I imagine I'm stuck this way until I find a countervailing source of pseudo-scientific sounding gibberish, like tachyons or some sort of <something> <something> array.
Option 3: These bastards are playing "Let's make Squicky think he's either dead or some other non-corporeal being" again. Oooh, I'm going to give them such a kicking if they are. The last time, they taped me shouting and making a huge fuss (including declaring my eternal love for Lt. Warf) at my "memorial service". They still show that tape sometiems during Saturday recreation periods.
Solution: The female crewmembers shower-room. It's not just for holo-deck anymore.
Oh, and if at all possible, kill Wesley.
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
As a sort of memorial, here's a classic MrSquicky post back from the days when he was still posting on hatrack, oh so long ago:

It's this sort of classic MrSquicky wit that we all miss. Note the sophistication with which he used to right out *waves* instead of using the smiley. You just don't see that sort of thing anymore, now that he's been gone.

Enigmatic, that's pretty decent, but Bokonon just has a certain style, a certain lyrical way with words... See here:
Pfft! But nobody misses Bokonon, that's the difference. With that kind of self-indulgent prattle we're all secretly kind of glad he hasn't been posting, you know?
--Enigmatic
Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :

It's so sweet of y'all to have a thread about where I've been. Why are you talking about all these other people, though?

Is this a thread about people we miss, or people who've vanished and about whom we still wonder?
Posted by Bokonon (Member # 480) on :
Enigmatic, I think that's a little harsh. I mean, yeah, Bokonon is prone to ramble on a bit much, but compared to certain newbies lately, is there any question that Bokonon resides on a higher rung of Hatrack than most.
To explain more directly, here is one of those problematic newbie posts:

There really is nothing to it. I thought it would be fun for everyone to discuss and keep tally of people who dissapear from Hatrack. I've been here for several months actually, but in Hatrack time, you are right. What is the conversion between Hatrack and normal time?
So yes, I thought it would be an effective and fun way to keep tally of people who go missing. Nothing more. Posted by Bella Bee (Member # 7027) on :
