Whatever happened to...?

I was going to start this with the idea that these were folks that have abandoned the Fort. But after careful research (viewing profiles), it seems that some of these folks havent left, they've just gone mysteriously quiet.

Silent!
The Dukester - last on 18 days ago (last post 6/2010)
maka - last on 24 days ago (last post 9/2010)


May actually have left:
wolvendancer - last on 2 months ago (last post 9/2010)
BradH - last on 3 months ago (last post 6/2010)
Tamburlaine - last on 5 months ago (last post 6/2010)
astrange aeon - last on 7 months ago (last post 7/2008)
hancock.tom - last on 2 years ago (last post 7/2009)


I'm an inattentive Idiot:
Metalface13 - last on 18 days ago, but apparently has posted pretty recently, so somehow I missed that.

I know there's others too, but these were the ones I remembered/came across. Wonder what happened around June 2010 that stopped folks (Brad, Tamb, Dukester) posting... CONSPIRACY!

Tom Hancock quit because of disagreements with people here, I believe.

Huh - he was a founder/contributor too, right?

We need a gossip rag for this place... I nominate Avery as editor-in-chef (or something)

The level of conversation here has taken quite a plunge ever since Black Barney started posting frequently.

Kidding aside, I've had trashmail contact with the Dukester in January and maybe if he sees this thread he will explain his situation.

Maka - I beleive he was starting up his own Spanish Language site. Which reminds me I need to contact him and find out how that's going.

BradH - His site has really taken off and is keeping him very busy.

The Dukester - also has his own site. Although I believe something happend that made him delete his avatar. I don't remember what it was.

Tom Hancock - Never had a disagreement with anyone that I know of. As far as he communicated to me, he just didn't have the time and interest anymore. He was doing a lot of landscaping and home remodeling last time I checked in with him.

astrange aeon - also in a stage of his life when games are low priority.

Don't know about the rest, although I do know that a significant number of our readers keep up with Fort articles through facebook, and via subscription.

Also, the site isn't very mobile friendly for logging in or commenting, and as people have moved to reading via their iPods, iPhones, Blackberries, etc., they have been commenting less. I'm working on a major site upgrade which I hope will address that. In fact I just registered the mobile domain name for F:AT. So look for that in the next couple of months.

Yes. Yes. Please. I've wished for this so many times at 3am when Florence won't go to sleep and all I have to keep myself busy are baby toys and my smartphone.

Wow, thanks for the update on folks, Uba! All perfectly fine reasons to be MIA - I just thought we'd have heard a peep here and there. All that makes me feel pretty lazy that I post here as much as I do... any links to these websites?

Also, the mobile thing is AWESOME. Very needed and will be much appreciated. Huzzah!

I believe that TheDukester's avatar was Philanthropist from CE Online.

I really miss Tom Hancock and Maka. Those were some cool guys. I liked The Dukester too. However, I don't think I've ever come closer to having words with someone on this site as I did with him on the Lost thread several months ago. So it was probably my fault.

Brad's site is Emotionally 14

Dukester's personal blog is Blogmic Encounter , but he hasn't been keeping up with it - new job and two small children. He's also one of the big dogs at Cosmic Online.

Don't know what Maka's site is.

I regularly keep up with A Strange Aeon and he is planning on coming to Trashfest. He is a really interesting guy whose tastes in games mirrors my own. I make a point of hanging out with him at Origins. After a long stint of unemployment he finally got a job.

I'm going to pick a fight with Tom Hancock next time I see him just so he'll come back.
