Missing posters

[Musashi]

I noticed you weren't on the IRC channel.

[Archer17]

Where's dgruss23 been?

[Musashi]

Staying calm?

[Normandy6644]

Hey where's Humphrey? He hasn't posted in a while. Did he go on extended vacation or something?

[tuffel999]

I'm back! #-o

[Archer17]

tuffel's back .. does that mean "Bob" will go missing?

[tuffel999]

No andrew (my roomate) should still be around until he gets kicked off. Which is kind of surprising tha the hasn't yet.........

[Hockeypuck]

I noticed you weren't on the IRC channel.

How do you connect to the IRC channel? I found the thread, but it only gave instructions for connecting with what I guess are mIRC presets.. I'm using Chatzilla from inside the Firefox browser, do you know what server to connect to specifically?

If you're in North America, irc.us.sorcery.net, if you're in Europe, irc.eu.sorcery.net, otherwise just irc.sorcery.net.

Naw. Awhile back, Tuffel got sick and that's when Bob showed up in the Bad Medicine thread, and he specifically said he was Tuffel's roommate, and that's when we found out that Tuffel's real name is Paul. :D

My "neighbor" Sigma Orionis. Is he missing or am I missing something?

I've seen him post recently.....hehehe....he's more my neighbour than yours :wink:

[gethen]

TSC?
I was thinking the same thing myself. Where is he?

[Musashi]

I'm guessing it's crunch time at school. At least, that is what I am hoping.

Nah! You gotta swim to reach him. I just got to walk! 8)

Yep, crunch time. Its over for now, though. (I hope)

Thanks for the concern guys!

I had better post this before I forget...

We will be vacationing (YEAH!!!) "down" in San Diego, from the 24th of April till the 30th...so I won't be posting, unless I happen to "bump" into a cyber cafe. :)

BTW...where the heck is Humphrey??...I haven't seen any posts from him in quite a while. I see that this has been asked before, back on the 8th.

Have a great vacation.
As to Humphrey, isn't he getting married in a couple of months? Maybe he's just busy.

[R.A.F.]

Have a great vacation.

Thanks, it's gonna be GREAT!! And I was just thinking...I can go visit the Ruben H. Fleet Space Museum while I'm there...YIPPIE...I'll make sure and take some good pictures to share when I get back!

Edited to add...The Reuben H. Fleet Space Museum??? What in the heck is that??

It's the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theatre. And I didn't even mean to say that! I meant to say that I'll be going to the San Diego Aerospace Museum. I don't know where my head was yesterday. Now I guess I'll have to go to both. :)

I'll be away for the rest of this week. Science Olympiad State Finals are coming up, and I don't think we'll make it. Our school, El Rancho, won 7 consecutive state championships, but I don't know this year... :( Anyway's I'll tell you guys how I did next Saturday. Hopefully I'll get that gold medal in astronomy.

My Events are
1. Astronomy
2. Meteorology
3. Rivers & Lakes

If anyone's interested, the official site of Science Olympiad is http://www.soinc.org/

Wish me luck, I guess. :D

True, but he's been gone since essentially spring break. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

Good luck Brady!!

With regards to Humphrey, I wrote him an E-Mail asking him, more importantly, if he was OK. It's not like him to be away for this long, so I was concerned that something may have happened. He did respond, and has given me permission to post his reply here for everyone:


Hey man.
I have been here the entire time. I was hoping that the guys on the BABB irc would say somthing but i guess they did not. I went for srping break and during spring break i promised myself that i would not go onto the babb untill i applied for graduate school and actually finished the application. It was my personal vow and punishment (yes, not going on the babb is a punishment for me :-) ). Well today actually i am finally getting around to finishing the damn thing. I will be away on saturday and on monday i have a final. Sooo...Expect a visit from your world leader tesday. :-) I will post a long thread about what i have been up to and done.

[p.s. You can post this on the forums. I give you permission]

[Musashi]

I was going to say something to that effect, but I couldn't remember all the details. Colt has also been limiting his time here, so that is probably why he didnt say anything.

[Humphrey]

I am back :-) and it feels really good. i really missed you guys. I will post what i have been doing in the meantime in a few minutes. :-)

And thanls alot for caring. It really means alot to me. :-)

[gethen]

It's because if they leave their bunkers for more than a few hours, there's a chance the end-of-the-world is going to catch them off guard. Gotta keep on top of these things, you know? ;)

David hall has ben gone for a very long time. Too long. Mr.. x has been known to take time off for a few months.

I asked about David Hall a long time ago. I miss him. As for me, I disappear for long periods due to my work and home schedule.

Hello! :D I will be MIA on and off for the next couple of months. Then, I shall catch up between semesters.

That's right! I'm back in college, and it's downright overwhelming! :o

I found Latin to be very intimidating to begin with, but I started getting my head around it this weekend. I'm happy to say also that I got an A on my first German test. Das ist gut!! 8)

Thanks for missing me though. It feels good, considering I know no one at my university and I've been feeling a bit lonely in spite of myself.

Oh... Uh, yeah, I'm not dead and back, sort of... If anyone noticed I was gone. :cry:
Don't worry. We all noticed, and it's nice to see you posting again.

Thanks Gethen. :)

[gethen]

so who're we talkin about again?
Oh, so there you are. Long time no see.

[SKY]

Where's Humphrey been? He hasn't posted since Dec 23.

[freddo]

Heya! Yeah i've been seriously awol. The it system I've been working on finally started rolling out - one major grouping at the end of each month starting last july - my business peaked around oct-nov so i forced a hiatus.

Just dipping my toes in the water ATM but hopefully I'll be more of a regular fixture again soon...

HI freddo you've got a hole 6 page thread at FWIS

[SKY]

Its been ages where oh where is humphrey!

I ended up e-mailing him. He said he's been busy with school and hasn't had much time to visit here, but would drop by soon. That was about 4 days ago.

[Nicolas]

Where's Project Orion gone? I am awaiting an answer from him, he hasn't posted since the 25th.

There has also been a dip in posting frequency by A.DIM.

Any info on these posters?

[TriangleMan]

A.Dim runs a sales & distribution company so he frequently travels. It is not uncommon for him to not post for a few weeks.

[Nicolas]

OK thanks.

So now I'm only awaiting Project Orion. But in the past too he had quite long intervals between posts. Patience Nicolas, patience :).

[Lurker]

Where's Lurker?

I'm around... but things are a bit crazy here at the moment.

We are working on an OS port to the Itanium® processor and it's been a difficult port.

The software should be ready in about the August to October timeframe. That's pretty good!! 8)

Unfortunately, the software is going to be released June 15!! That's not so good!! :o

So its a little tense and busy around here... go figure... :-s

I couldn't find a "soon to be missing thread" so this will have to do. After tomorrow I'm changing job and won't be able to post on a regular basis though I will do my best to lurk when possible.

Thanks to everyone it has been great, I've learned (and laughed) a lot. Especially thanks to BA 8) for setting this up.

Hi and howdy right back at you Musashi (still have your back 8) ) and mikal .. thanks for the kind words Andromeda, you're the epitome of "cool" young lady!

Speaking of missing posters: WolfKC hasn't posted since last summer and I noticed freddo, despite a spurt in a two-day period last month, has been absent since Sept.

To stay on the OP, welcome back to Sam5. It's been a relativelycalm 6 months or so since his (her?) last posts.

[Bawheid]

Candy, lol! where do you find these?

T-man, I'm looking into it.

Lurker, just remember all my legal advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Gethen, I'll make a special effort for the cycling, we can't let the Lance fans have it all their own way.

All, thanks again.

I'll miss you....

Just please post another 10 times
You will have a post # of 1111

Humphrey hasn't posted since December. I don't remember if he said he was going away for awhile or something.

Just long enough.

One way to find out would be to not post for a while and see if anyone misses you. You could become the first data point in a new scientific study. :wink:

[mickal555]

The Supreme Canuck?

Probably on holiday, Mickal. He was here shortly before Christmas Eve. Ask again if he's not back by the third of January or so.

[Hugh Jass]

People are off school right now in the states, and canada so I figure some students will be posting more some less/not at all.

The Supreme Canuck?

I was wondering; we're playing a chess match and he hasn't moved in quite a while. Probably hoping I'll resign out of boredom.

[LurchGS]

possibly - them cannuks are good with boredom, growing up with it and all. What is there to do in Canukia.. no baseball in the summer, and all the good hockey is in the states in the winter. And you can listen to the Arrogant Worms only so many times before the fuse blows...

*blows giant wet raspberry*

A big teeth-showing Meh to Baseball.

The Québec Major Juniors is where the good hockey is (you poor deprived Americans you, not even knowing what good hockey looks like.)

The Arrogant Who? Thanks, but I'm too busy listening to the cool Canadian bands, especially the east coasters.

As for what to do in Canada, let me just say this: send up your hotties and we'll build up a nice cosy fire and then show 'em exactly what there is to do in Canada on a cold blustery night. In all its incarnations and forms. Thoroughly. Repeatedly. ;)

(*Directions to Campbellton available upon request. :p)

[LurchGS]

LOL

lessee...

well, I do follow all flavors of hockey (gotta love that satellite dish).. from pipsqueek league to the pros.. but I'm odd in that respect.

Baseball is second only to hockey in importance

The Arrogant Worms ARE a cannukian band (www.arrogant-worms.com)

sending Hillary Clinton to Campbellton... ;)

(oh, and those blustery nights - you guys must be doing a lot wrong - all the years you've been in business, and still the country has fewer people than California! :D )

Maksutov?

Ever since he became a tweety-bird he seems to have flown away somewhere?

Humphrey?

& Normandy?

[Melusine]

Oh, I'm glad you dug up this thread.

I found out that Maksutov is alive and well...actually, recuperating. I think he wouldn't mind me saying that he was in the hospital recently for an ailment (or two), but has come through OK. He's had a rough month, but will return with that most creative sense of humor of his, let alone well-rounded intelligence. :) (gushing for Mak)

People I don't see around much these days:

What happened to Spacewriter? I liked her opinions. NASA Fan? Some people have disappeared or are hanging out on other forums primarily, I do know that.
Frogesque?
Tranquility?
Cyswxman's weather stuff?

Lonewulf: That's a good question. Haven't seen him in a while.

[Carnifex]

Candy is permanently banned. Haven't seen Lonewulf for a long time as well, but I don't think he's banned. Maybe he just got bored from this forum?

Lonewulf posted two days ago and has been active today. I wonder where Pinemartin and Latimer are, among others.

And Ocasey, she doesn't post nearly enough.

Email her TM. She seemed really fed up, maybe she's calmed down now. I emailled her about 2 weeks ago and she sent me a rather cryptic response. Asked me (and everyone else) to take care of one of the other poster's on here, shouldn't mention names publicly though.

Strange thing was, in her email response to me her name appeared as ***** *****.

Don't know if her name is always blanked out on her emails or whether she went to the actual trouble of doing it just because she was emailling a BAUTer. I'm suspecting the latter, but it still seems a bit bizarre.

Candy is permanently banned. Haven't seen Lonewulf for a long time as well, but I don't think he's banned. Maybe he just got bored from this forum?


Carnifex, suggest you look at this post to find out Lonewulf's fairly recent thoughts on BAUT.

Lonewulf Exasperates (http://bautforum.com/showpost.php?p=688707&postcount=130)

To quote



Jeesh, I remember when I liked posting and reading on the BAUT. I'm about BAUTed out in my life now, though.

It was a "pleasure", peeps.


Hope you've changed your mind mate. The more the merrier afterall!

[SolusLupus]

There are a few things that are getting to me on the BAUT, and a couple of other posters; not to mention some of the methods of the moderators. Go figure, that's forum politics for you. I won't go into details, mainly because, to be honest, I really don't care that much anymore. BAUT has been a good place to me, and fun for learning and discussing. But I'm not after that anymore.

Maybe in the future I will be. For now, though, I really don't like the chains put on me in the BAUT (on the other hand, I don't want to deal with those that act out when unchained, so I'm not saying that BAUT is wrong to do so). The BAUT is good for a very family-friendly forum that deals with discussion, debate, and knowledge. For that, I praise it.

I'd say more, but I'm not of an orderly mindset right now. I rarely am, really; I'm a bit chaotic in my head, with a million thoughts going on at once. Once I start on something, I want to get it over with just to go onto another thing. I have a feeling that this might explain a lot about me.

I'll still peek in once in a while, but probably not that often. I still have a lot of respect for a lot of people, though; especially the moderators and the Bad Astronomer. Man, you guys have to deal with so much...

[jkmccrann]

Mate, no worries.

I understand where you're coming from. And I want to thank you for sticking up for me at one point in the past - I think one of the comments you made about some of my posting was right on the money! Glad to know someone got it!

haha roflmao!

Hopefully look forward to seeing you round here when New Horizons starts sending back photos from the edge of nowhere! Will be interesting to know how this place looks when that happens.......

Anyway, if you do drop by every now and again, even if you make just the 1 or 2 posts when you drop by it will be appreciated - rather than just a silent lurk.

Anyway, best of luck buddy! Come to Australia sometime!

Cheers.

[Karl]

Whatever happened to Karl?

I'm still around, but don't look in that often.

At the moment I'm up to my eyeballs in new data, and designing an instrument for a new mission.

I got married a couple of years ago to a wonderful lady, and I find that spending time with her is a lot better than spending it with you guys. :-)

Oh WOW! that is so much good news Karl ! (your signature bold, as it were). I always enjoyed your posts. Hope you find some time to continue despite the strife.... err I mean wife ;)
