Where are they now?

[sixty_something]

I seem to do this annually now when i return from a long absence myself .. since last October, another 72 nicks have disappeared from my JavaFIBS friends list

at log-in these nicknames show up with "No information found on user ..." in my System window .. when i was actively promoting tourneys as the Bloody Mary TD, i had a list of well over 600 "friends" .. many i didn't even know, they just had good Reps and experience .. i thought they might be good tournament players .. when they were on-line, i'd invite them to join us .. others i knew quite well from shouts, tournament play or regular chats .. some, i considered real friends, as real as virtual friends can be

now that i am no longer actively involved as a live tournament TD, my JavaFIBS Friends list has begun shrinking .. it no longer provides as complete a profile as it probably once did .. in the future, our lists of TPR tournament players may provide that for tournament players .. someday, we'll all disappear or reappear with a new name or not

regardless, i think it is still worth noting the changing landscape of FIBS nicknames

so, here is my most recent list of the disappeared .. i've highlighted folks that i know/knew well either personally,as a TD or just recognize from them being frequently on-line .. i know that some have returned under the same or different name .. for example, johnwayne, dropped on an earlier list is back with the same name .. csg is resh by yet another name .. some are doing fine just no longer active at FIBS --  RickInSF very graciously hosted me on Memorial Day weekend when i visited San Francisco .. i spoke to spanka_claus recently on the telephone .. others, i miss .. some i don't .. regardless, i hope they are all doing well

Autumn and ginnytonic are one and the same.  I heard she was ill, but have no confirmation on that.  NiHolympic is now found on gridgammon as rebbler and did, announce his leaving of Fibs.  Donzabackgame is donzaemon who is still on Fibs.

alef is the former host of fibsboard. He had forgotten his password so started a new nick, which I forgot, but he doesn't play online much now.

higonefive plays at Grid.

RickrInSF left FIBS after the Great Purge and occasionally plays at Grid.

Watchman was obliterated by patti due to inim's claim of robot manipulation or something like that.

I mostly don't play this game..looking back isnt much my style  But before a million people correct you..alef didn't host fibsboard..webrunner did..alef was just an interested bystander for a good few years

The new nick for alef was dropper.
