Absent friends: a place to remember forum contribtors you liked who have seemingly stepped back...

[Flossy]

Lots of Fuel Rats I no longer see, although some still do non-ratty things, and i'm not particularly active myself either these days. Shout out to:

Surly Badger
Radlock
Uvelius Sang
Alex Traut

Many, many others: https://fuelrats.com/leaderboard

Surly Badger and Uvelius Sang - and probably the others too - regularly post to this thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/out-of-fuel-explorer-rescue-service-the-fuel-rats.150703/

I miss my good ol' buddy Punished Mobius.

I’m sure Cmdr Hagglebeard checked in a few months ago

I'd have to say Frenotx, his work at deciphering some of the more opaque ship mechanics has provided a good foundation for more intellectual discussions on the game at large.

Haven't heard for quite a while about commander ian baristan. Remember some of his excellent artwork, that were, beside highest quality - very useful! (like outpost images at EDDB) Have tried to find his old thread "Mapping the planetary cities and outposts + SRV races tool" - found my bookmark, but the link leads to nothing... Deleted?

Any of you Cmdrs remember Terminatrixx?
She was....well....evil! But, always kept a nice Flame War™ brewing on here
I always regret not getting to K̶i̶l̶l̶ meet her in-game.....
(Always fun playing "spot the Dangerous Discussion posters Cmdr")

May I suggest David ?

 

[K M Butler]

pretty sure some are still here with different names, MoM is lurking -- saw some recent likes from her.

I see a lot of familiar faces and names. Doubt my name would show up, I lived in the Xbox section almost exclusively. I'm still with that group. Haven't used the forums in probably a year and a half. I've been on Discord with them all. Was going to update my forum name and avatar to better reflect myself, but after looking at the forum and seeing Bongo and everyone still using the same stuff, I left it just in case someone would recognize me.

Srsly guise.

Edit: Okay, it's been like two years since I used the forum...

We just assumed you were banned, again

Yes it is true that Cmdrs have changed their name but not much on the totality, in my opinion.

 

[Jankules]

Yeah Liqua,she put that amazing name of Shinrarta Dezhra.

 

[NeilF]

All the folks who created the ED Tracker head tracking hardware/software? I believe they're long since out of the game...

 

[Old Duck]

I never thought I'd ever say this, but I miss Stigbob.

This thread makes me very sad. I recognise and remember so many of these.

From Frontier, who can forget Dale Emasiri? He would often be here late at night chatting to anyone and everyone. He's also the one who was shooting down the Orrery. Otherwise he was great for his insights.

Was real sad to see him go.

 

[VR jefranklin18]

Mike Evans.

Yeah, loved his posts. He shot straight from the hip, which is possibly why he was told to stop postsing. Community Managers would always do their job and try and respond in a careful way and ME would just ride in and tell people to stop whining. Ah, halcyon days.

And that's how forums should be in my opinion. Company staff should feel free to respond to some of the quite frankly insulting posts that come up here.

Someone I've not seen for years was Steve O B Have - I think he was a mod for while but he and I chatted on this board when it first appeared in 2006 but not seen him in years.

 

[JesusRocks1988]

Oh, and of course I remember the Rifters. Haven't seen SpocksOddSocks around for a while, unless he's hanging around in another area of the forum I don't frequent.

I still come across systems he's tagged; he got absolutely everywhere.

 

[bigity]

Ryder was batcrap crazy and not the good kind

 

[Ralph Vargr]

I never thought I'd ever say this, but I miss Stigbob.

Last anyone saw him, he was walking in the direction of Frenchman Flat...

And always just before me...
