I noticed you and others like The Pharmacist, Pmalek, OgNasty and others I hardly see again in the forum.
I think you mentioned my name here by mistake. I am still very active and post on Bitcointalk every day. You must have confused me with someone else or we aren't reading and writing in the same boards, which is weird because you can find me posting all over the place. I prefer serious discussions about Bitcoin above anything else, though.
Maybe I placed the words wrongly. The ones I mentioned, are the ones I saw in my newbie days that I still see till date and then others who might have disappeared and these are the people I didn't bother mentioning their names.
Same explanation goes to OgNasty... I participated in his newbie sign a message thread and pretty still available in the forum.
