It's always sad (or something like that) when someone isn't around for a while. Everyone has such unique personalities that one gone takes a big chunk out of the fun here.~Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 I am terribly missing his posts, too, guys. We haven't happened to cross our paths much too often with Hlao-roo, but whenever he posted a thing, it was always joy to read, sort of an every-day perk. His posts were like "Main Titles" in the score and I do pray he hasn't enacted his "Resolution & End Credits" with his last post yet.Roman:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin 2 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Hasn't he not posted for awhile before?Justin -Who bets Hllaooroo....Hlaaroo....Hlaooroo...Alan will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 First of all, I notice that Andreas has altered the default look of this forum -- for the better, as I see it.Second, I'm grateful for this thread; it does mean something to me. In fact, the (voluntary) reason I've been away is rooted in the degree to which I had invested myself here.For all my ostensibly slick sarcasm and purported cynicism [ which I continue to dispute ], I feel there was frequently a great deal of earnest emotion in my posts, especially in the last few, which dealt with the clash between Nick and our webmaster.After those posts (came to naught), I decided to step away, maybe take some time off. I needed it. I was frustrated, tired of arguing away when it seemed little was at stake. Without trivializing all that goes about here, it seems one can admit that nothing here is really of much practical consequence, unless you wish to devote yourself so.All the energy I expended here could be put be put to better use, I felt, to "matters of consequence," as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry may've been wont to say.But it's hard to stay away from this place. There're too many memories -- nostalgia trips galore. I'm still rather conflicted, but I'll try to stay here. I'm still a John Williams fan, and I'm still fond of many of the personalities I've encountered here. There's a careful balance to strike between immersion and aloofness; I just have to find it.Stefan, Ray, Roman, and the others of you, thank you again.

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Well,it's clear the original veterans are just dying off one after the other.How boring would it be otherwise, with the same people discussing the same things?-ROSS, who's filled with nostalgia when he thinks of the days he had veteran status.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 He made a short-lived return a few years ago but disappeared into the abyss again. I think he still lurks but doesn’t post anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,272 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Weirdly he posted in 2016 but his profile says he "last visited" in 2015...so does that just refer to the last time somebody looks at their own profile, I guess? Not every time you log in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yep that's how it works. Anonymous logins don't update "last visited" but still let you post and do everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
