Appreciation for Senior Members who Disappear... [Archive]

The full title of this thread should be:

Appreciation for Senior Members who Disappear for Months Only to Reappear and Post One or Two Smart Things and then Disappear Again

Exactly as the would-be title says:

Obvious ones
TC - Who goes quite a while without posting regularly than jumps in an shuts down plenty of reactionaries, particularly where feminism is concerned. Certainly don't agree with her politics, but she's logical like a mofo.
Janus - Did he leave or something? Anyway, he used to be one of these dudes. He crept around and did administrative work and then dropped a few nuggets of wisdom in a couple sentences then went back to moving threads about how big one's penis is to the trash.
Blackstone - Who's the only fucking anarchist in the whole world who apparently cares about Africa? Blackstone, that's who, and his analysis of libertarian potentials in African politics is totally needed and sorely lacking.

Hm, there's a lot of others, but by their nature they're hard to think of.

(Oh also, yes, I am a member of this group :thumbup: )

What about the folks who go, and don't come back? Who can remember canikickit? Or, I was just whining the other day about VermontLeft (who I discover only posted 200 odd posts..., would barely make it into the CC, though I would have let them in after 50...).

I also miss the old LSD, mind, I haven't seen the new one post much at all either.

chimx used to actually post interesting stuff on occasion, though I know some folks didn't like him.

RedCeltic, he used to be in the military, and thus had great information for folks thinking of joining, and great advice, don't. (Oh, and one of the original members, having joined in 2001!)

Heh, I just noticed that Urban Rubble visits the site still, but hasn't posted since December last year.

ComradeRed, did they ever get their degree?

rioters bloc, almost fits the requirement of coming back very rarely...

Too bad, I wanted to see this "era."

He posted some photographs of a few of his paintings in the CC (not sure if those posts are still around) - surrealist i think, and would contribute funny, well drawn, cartoons in the gfx forum.

In particular, I miss: Marsella, I’m A Tiger, ManyAntsDefeatSpiders, Junius, CommieCat, ComradeRed, SovietPants, AnnieK, Sprinkles (i luv u bby! :( ) , Severian, RS2K, Axel1917 for being a complete fucktard, BOZG, Rollo, Blackstone, CyrotankScreamz, Konfetti (I forget his former name), AnnieK, DJ-TC (here, but not in English), ComradeRage, anarchistafeminista, counterblast, RevMARKSman, Herman, to an extent Drosera, Ian, ron burgandy, careyprice, colonello, to an extent goatse, to an even smaller extent Spartan, RNK, comrade J and Lux, comrade RAF. And if you don’t know ‘em, then you’re not oldskoolz.

How do you know some of these people if it says you registered this month?

Oh come, it's not half, it is just about the first four or five.

Mind you, she does list a lot of interesting people who should be missed (including some I had forgotten about). RevMARKSman was a great advocate for the anti-theist position for example.

Axel1917 isn't missed though, now for the other 1917's to go with him and his big hairy face...

Though I never got to see him post on RevLeft I knew about Red Celtic way before I joined this site as he had (has) an awesome Youtube page. I'm not sure if he's posted any videos in several months though

The most intelligent, well-versed, real-life revolutionary member this site ever had was Luís Henrique. He was a really good moderator as well and wasn't taking any of the CC bullshit. I stumble on old posts of his in the archives sometimes and realize how much this site needs his presence. :(

Also to an extent Severian, RNK, and Blackstone.

Luís had some good posts it's true.

RNK was banned didn't you know? I can't remember why, racism or some shit like that.

I actually remember the thread that did it...it was about what were the pros and cons of women according to their racial characteristics. In other words, what race had the hottest women.

It was a rather unique blend of sexism and racism. I think it was rather clear at that point that he was trying to press people's buttons. :lol:

I actually went looking for that post yesterday, because benhur's thread reminded me of it. But apparently it was deleted. For shame. I thought it was pretty damn funny, in its own uniquely fucked-up way.

I distinctly remember hating super hard on his politics but having total respect for his antifa work as well. He got banned after...something happened. I think he talked shit about some admins on his blog and then maybe revealed some CC information publicly or something? I don't remember all the details, but he was kind of a disagreeable motherfucker right up until the end.

You know Martov is Marsella don't you? She has some really really cool politics. Pity she got banned, and banned, and banned, etc.

Heh, many, if not most, of the "senior" members have been mods at one stage or another. I think AK47 (Invader Zim) and myself are two who haven't. I'm trying to think of anyone else, but can't.

Yeah, he was banned.

I don't think we should have permanent banning for people. I think for folks like him, RNK, and certain other folks, they fuck up once, perhaps they go through a bad time, and they are never welcomed back.

Well, I know that members have come back after being banned, and weren't subsequently rebanned (even when it was obvious who it was). Maybe there could be a general policy that if someone returns after a year, they don't get automatically rebanned?

I visit RevLeft almost everyday (well, 'cept weekends). I post most days.

Thinking of folks who don't visit, where the fuck has Fawkes got to?
