    I find Srameen to be a very knowledgeable and interesting poster. He appears to have had a very interesting working life and seems to be enjoying his retirement with his family.
    A well grounded, knowledgeable sensible poster.

    Multiple reasons. Fresh start. Don't want to be recognised. Too much information posted making them easily identifiable. To try lose the cards or bans attached to previous accounts.

    Ah yeah. I can understand the fresh start approach if someone has built up a load of baggage over a long time. But sometimes you see posters in particular forums who are liked and respected by their peers and who contribute heartily and often and then-poof- next thing you know it reads closed account under their user name. Just makes me wonder sometimes.

    You can't ever know the multitude of personal reasons that people decide to ditch their accounts. If they come back, they're still contributing the same worth to the site even if it doesn't add to their specific personality cult. Let it go.

    I'm not a farmer (but have some farmers in my family) but sometimes myself read that forum. For all the criticism of the site, that forum seems to be one of its sterling validations. Seems to be a great, tight little forum providing a great resource for people that (you would assume) have a challenging and sometimes lonely profession.

    Absolutely, there could be any reason at all for someone to close an account, start a new one etc. It's not a big issue, it's just something I thought of when reading this thread; which is about wondering why and where posters dissapear too.

    A thread about posters you can't stand would be miles better than this arse licking. Wouldn't last though.

    Try again at 4AM. Seems you can write whatever you want about then! No guarantee of it still being there come morning time of course!

    I never found Flutterinbantam particularly interesting. There's only so many times you can post about "unleashing a coil of ripe midden" in the facilities of some random establishment before it gets old. He was a one-trick-pony whose views were as foul as his bathroom habits. No great loss to Boards, in my not-so-humble opinion.

    His politics Ray. The guy was a fountain of truth.

    Yes his tales of defecating were amusing but there was much more to him than that.

    A lot of depth to the guy. He's the type of chap who I'd love to sink porter with.

    Frada was a decent poster, before they made him a mod, and he got involved in the whole, 'we aspire to better things around here' methodology.

    Never funny, but he sometimes brought a clarity to on-thread discussions.

    Sarcasm is the refuge of the dimwit and the drunkard. Good poster though, so I hope he's doing well for himself. Running an internet cafe or the like.

    I like Wibbs posts, the guy seems to be an encyclopedia of knowledge on most subjects.

    Yeah, Wibbs is like the father of Boards.

    God only knows what will happen to this place if he ever decides to leave.
