My time circuits are stuck on November 5th, 1885, unfortunately. Guy Fawkes Night? Have you been reading V for Vendetta? [/div][/quote] I guess I forgot I forgot the Fifth of November.

Oh no, now I have to figure out what that date means… (In my best Mr Haney voice) "If you don't go out there......everybody, everywhere, will say Clint Eastwood is the biggest yella-belly in the West!"

What the?! I take not even one day off and we lose TWO long time posters?! What's in the digital water these days? I hope mrp gets the peace of mind he needs and returns, and that Taxi/Driver is only doing one of his cyclical purges with an inevitable return.
Glad some good fortune is finally blowing Cei-U's way. It's about time!

Wait, is Supercat gone, too??? The hits keep coming. What a terrible loss for the forum. Does anyone know if he's okay?

Oh, man. How sad for us to have lost so many great members in such a short time. I hope everything is all right in their personal lives, or if it is not now that it gets there soon. This sucks.

Besides, I'm a sucker for a good Venn diagram.

I have no way of reaching driver1980, but I was able to get a hold of mrp. He had apparently been considering stepping away from the community for a while now and felt this was the right time. He may consider returning down the road (especially for the Classic Comics Christmas). He also shared that, "There are people I will miss there, though I can contact many of those through other platforms and will in the coming weeks. I wish you all well, I just needed to make a change and deleting the account was a way of removing the temptation to go back, something I have done several times before and come to regret. I needed to make a change for my own self-care, and I needed to ensure I wouldn't backpedal, so I made the cut. Feel free to contact me through this if you wish, or e-mail me at mrproteau@gmail.com. Feel free to share with any of the regulars who might want to contact me. I have no animosity towards anyone, I just needed to make a change and I have gotten very extreme in curating my online experience lately, so this was a change I needed to make for me." He can also be reached on twitter @themrpmissives While I hate to see old friends leave, I respect that we are each on our own journeys and moving towards our own destinations. For the moment, mrp's is taking him elsewhere. Hopefully, driver1980's will bring him back soon. I still miss Mechagodzilla, like a lot. Driver was always a fun poster to have around, can't say much on MRP's behalf, didn't know him that well

I still miss Mechagodzilla, like a lot. I legitimately worry about him. Last I'd heard, he had family members slowly taking away his independence, and then one day he wasn't here anymore.

I think I noticed it about 3 or 4 weeks back. No idea why though. There are several members of the forum that I exchanged phone numbers with. It’s good to have that type of contact for whatever may come. A few years back Brutalis and I exchanged numbers and that’s how I found out that he passed away. A relative contacted me. If you’re simpatico with members here, it might be a good idea to exchange emails or phone numbers with them. It doesn’t mean you have to call them every day , but it’s good to have other options than this forum.

What were their names? Maybe they were classmates of mine. Icc, their names were Nicole and Laurie.

In the past Supercat's come and gone on more than one occasion, just as Driver has. I'm not a betting person but if I were, I'd wager that when they feel the time is right for them to rejoin the forum, they'll be back. Their enthusiastic participation and friendly natures have certainly added a lot to this forum, IMO.

Its the nature of the internet that people come and go, but it is sad... I still miss Dan B. Driver and Supercat have both left before hopefully they'll find their way back. Hope all is well with mrp, he's a very unique voice and will definitely be missed.

Its the nature of the internet that people come and go, but it is sad... Well said. I think we do a better job here than most online communities of creating a sense of closeness, so it affects us more when someone abruptly leaves without a word of explanation. Meanwhile, I'm a member of well over a dozen facebook groups (all of which I really enjoy), but if fifty members self-delete tomorrow, I'll never even notice.
