Where do people go when they quit a message board? I frequent three of them - this one, a Liverpool FC one, and a general one - each for 10-20 years. If I've quit a board, I don't remember it and probably posted only a dozen times or fewer. But this place is littered with abandoned accounts with 10,000+ posts. I know some have passed on, but what about the rest? Do they make grand announcements, flip the table or just slink off into the night? Are they all blinged out and surrounded by hoes on twitter or other monetised social media? How does one go about it?
Its all of the above
I am in contact with people who have been viewing TC for 2 decades (young and old) who have posted and never posted. Its interesting.
Time is the main issue.
I continue to admire the work Jarusa did and still does, Molsey was my little hero, and it was London Blue who introduced me to this site on the proviso I don't let any of our mates and old teammates know the level of our tragic addiction to Carlton and this Forum. I've honoured that. Always think of Deano Supremo as I mentioned in another post in response to keogh, hence the apt bump by CK.
Names fly through my head....Synbad was pure keyboard warrior and
great he's still, I am spewing not to have met other admirable characters like Mickstar, and Sidex (and I will soon),Tommi (but we may have crossed paths in music), the footy god BV, camel camilleri, jimmae, dannyboy the writer, bluehammer, bluechucky, wojee, Effes, keogh, Rexy, beowulf the VFA VFL tragic and GWS, what about blueman, thehalford, every constant poster, and the avatars of braithy, The game, I love seeing them, and I view BF to follow the ex TCers I admired. The names Des English, Pat Fitztrick, No 19 Tram, Princes Park Whistler and Orangewhip I just loved those names. And having a PM trade time relationship with the great Mojo and eric.
Have to say my favourite moment was attending the sponsors night and meeting Mrs Cazz. She was a true blue and hilarious and great looking, and meeting Cazzeman on the same night. I'm lucky to have met AGRO, Doc Sherrin, the late Mosche, he was a happy fella, Mark No 3 and Kaptain Kouta were regulars I'd bump into at Sydney games. Glad to continue to see intellectuals Sydney Blue, sinbagger and lately Great Ex...Carlton Clem lives around the corner but dont see him anymore. He's too busy chasing Corporate clients and being a young dad.
I will organise a List Management meeting in Sydney, and will take out those I've committed to luncg, dinner and drinks, but we really should get together in melbourne. Got me thinking..... good health and victory to you all.
A good time to get together in Melbourne is the day after number 17, or perhaps the night after.
