When I started here, I remember seeing regular posts from mspaeth, zfcamaro, sentient, mongo, noice, demogo, and others who don't seem to be around much these days.

Was there a KLOV boycott and it only made the news in Cleveland?
 
you just gotta look in the right spots. i still post a lot, but kinda keep it to more pertinent posts, as i don't have a job where i can be on the forum all day these days like i used to... noice tends to post more in the chat about anything forum, and mark spaeth is hudsonarcade now. he posts a bit in the political and repair forums. don't know about the others.
 
i still see zfcamaro and demogo post quite a bit as well. The trouble is, everyone changes their avatars and I may not even notice that they were in a thread.

AvidGeek was another one who I used to see posting quite a bit, but now has disapeared.

I don't think it's too wierd. For the most part, people go thru fazes. Family changes, jobs, or economic situations could play a factor in why most people leave or loose motivation to post.

I also believe a lot of guys "jumped ship" after a tense moderator-member power struggle here a few months back, resulting in a new forum somewhere else.

Everyone you listed has posted here within the last 10 days...except sentient... but didn't he change his nick too? He's not even on the user list any more.

Mspaeth goes by Hudsonarcade and posted today...
Zfcamaro last posted on 12/27/09
Mongo last posted on 12/22/09
Noice last posted today
Demogo last posted today

So the only one missing is Sentient.
 
A lot of the "veteran" klovers don't post much anymore. rwaelde (sp?), tbbk, herbertsmart, shacklefurd, hell even OregonPacman and RoadRunner hardly post anymore. Guess they're just too busy with real life. Speaking of missing.. where the hell is Nick??
 
I've been a member here for 7 years, and I was a lurker long before that. I never posted much, but I've been here consistently and have seen a lot of guys come and go.

I don't think anyone really disappears for good, they just get tied up with other things going on in their lives. A lot of veteran posters have had children, job changes, moves, military time, battles with cancer and a host of other things that easily take precedence over arcade games.

Other times, people just start lurking more and posting less, avoiding the posts that we've seen 20 times over the years that argue about price, legalities, and whether or not something will, in fact, fit in the back of Subaru Outback. I think some of those guys have answered the same question so many times that they just figure it's time to let others step in and start the cycle over again.
 
brentradio sold off quite a few games and projects, but he has been around lately, nice to see.
 
I remember seeing a lot of those guys you all have mentioned when I first joined these forums. But yeah, they do seem to be disappearing.
 
I'm relatively new, but I recognize most of the names mentioned in the first post. With the exception of sentient, they're all regular to semi-regular posters. Like someone said, a lot of them post in the off-topic section. I find myself there quite a bit, only because I don't have many games.
 
TBBK use to be a mod but last time he posted it was about some car he got. He was pretty cool dude. Made some crazy post like me LOL. Always in love with a girl names Sarah who didn't love him back.

KRK had a house full of games worse than Fullthrottle, He hasn't posted in ages.

Oregonpacman has a wife and child now so I suspect he is busy unlike the 2 sinflw onw above.

Texashotshot moved on but still lurks a bit I think.

Use to be a guy in a wheel chair that had a Galaxian Cocktayk but I haven't seen him in at least 3 or 4 years.

Kinda funny at one point I wasin the lead in post (Not counting the cancer forum). Now lots have passed me even at least 1 doubling me. What can I say I got married and got a life. No offence to anyone with post over 10,000.
