So I was looking at the member list filtered by total posts in descending order looking at the goings on for one Shanti418 (catching up on Pissin Poonani, KM and I post at about the same rate, he just started three months earlier), and I was noticing ALL the members who are still in front of me that never post here.
Then I happened to click upon on one and found a link to this page, which seems to house MANY of these upper echelon posters who don't post here anymore.
What's the story? Seems to be a bunch of American Gen 1 centric peeps. Was their some sort of falling out before my time? Or did they just not like the post G1 discussions and/or fish n' chips?

They got tired of the endless religious discussions where people keep complaining but never comes up with something that can truly make people believe or care as much in something else?
No but seriously. That's the board where they made Aaron a MOD. Wanna know why? He stole with him a bunch of posters.

Re: Who you gonna call? GhostMembers!
in all honestry i think a certain group of people did struggle somewhat with the more left wing leanings of some (vocal) members of this board and decamped to somewhere where their views and beliefs would not be challenged quite so much.Shanti418 wrote: What's the story?

Also they felt bad as we are way prettier than them.
but it wasn't some big cataclysm, it was just a bit of a drifting off of some people, so no real associated gossip.
there - that was frank, wasn't it?

Quite frank. And not even a witty little jab for art's sake. I can totally understand that.
Thank Jesus that *I* have found this little oasis of godless, socalistic, European sensibility, where I can espouse my political views and still be outflanked on the left by Impy and Smooth.
