I'm glad that Part_Troll has started posting his PuG disasters again - I missed those.

I thought somebody was missing when I came back.
I miss my open letter.
I missed you with this pitcher of water.
I'll try again. 
Dec out.
yeah i miss a lot of the old posters too.
i haven't seen the Clintoian around in a while.
seems like lately the amount of daily posts are what got posted Nightly back then ....
and yeah i remember the Tanker/scrapper debates back before Scrapper caps were lowered and Regen was King.
hmm..i do miss dr zues, i kind of miss miss kitty, for her avatars if nothing else. and i ..eh dont remember much else, i dont particularly miss my old "buddy" spudlover, he was a malcontent of a higher calibur than the current crowd.
I miss the days before the game came out. The forums seemed to be a friendlier place. I got into fewer arguments and the days were filled with hope, optimism, puppies, and rainbows.

Nothing ruins a good idea like tossing out half of what made it good, and then feasting on rainbow & puppy sandwiches. Blood feuds over the flavour of puppies start up, and someone always asks for bacon.

Yeah, a lot of the people we used to hang with have left over the years. A lot have also been banned. I wonder, though, if anyone ever misses me

I gotta wonder if anyone misses me when I'm gone.
Hmm, pop quiz. What was one of my original forum names? I think even I've forgotten...

Ok, I miss other long absent posters like MMZ_Torak.

He was the best. Every once and a while someone would say something that could be turned into a pun and he and I would go on for a dozen posts trying to out-pun each other.
Invariably I think he got the better of me most times, but it was a lot of fun.

Torak also had an avatar reminiscent of WarCraft III's Muradin and was a generally memorable and very pleasant character. I do wish he'd stuck around.

I believe that avatar was Jim Duggan, who was a wrestler in the 80's and early 90's.

It was? Didn't he say that was him? I remember he even changed it to a newer picture of the same guy at one point. Can't seem to find his old avatar, as his account page seems to have lost its pic. Think you can find a pick of this wrestler dude so we can compare memories?

I can try, but I'm at work, so it might take me a while... failing anything I'll send you a link over PM.

None of them are of the pic Torak used for his avatar, but that's most definately the guy in question.

QR: I miss all the people that have left. And all their wonderful posts.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
While I, too, miss some of what you mention, I miss most the days when Tankers could tank entire maps and would stand around with 40 mobs surrounding them and all leaping on his head trying to get at him.
These days, Tankers can barely hold more than a well-built scrapper with a taunt aura. *sigh
And, yes, blasters are broken. (*just kidding)
I miss Lady Athyna. She was nice.
