Who do you especially miss on the site? People who are not here any more.....

On a forum people come and go, some are not even remembered, others were never noticed.

But there are those who are dearly missed. ohh

I have only just seen Renarules on the site, one of our most appreciated members, who had to leave the forum for personal reasons. I still remember her intelligent threads and wonderful and friendly answers, so many private messages we shared....I miss you Rena and I am sure not the only one !

Why don't we say hello and hi to all those who cannot be with us any more. This forum has had three changes since I have been here, and so many left because they did not like the changes, others just the opposite, they came back because of the changeswink

Anyway, as I have just seen Rena, I would like to start with her, Rena, we miss yousmile

(Please mention one person per post).

Great idea amiga! - Nicole-B, Oct 18, 2010
Thank you Heidita for posting this. - Yeser007, Oct 18, 2010
Thanks for the warm thread, Heidita! I miss the lovely people here...they have always been exceptionally eager to welcome and share with every new member. I hope to be spending more time here myself... - renaerules, Oct 19, 2010
Fidalgo - of course. I have not heard from him by e-mail either - sadly. - ian-hill, Oct 19, 2010
And Rena - ian-hill, Oct 19, 2010
Whom do you especially miss. Of course, thousands, if not millions, of English speakers whould say exactly the same thing. - samdie, Oct 19, 2010
I actually know that sam, I only explained that to my students yesterday, I also said whom is so seldom used nowadays, they can forget about it, they should just know it exists:) - 00494d19, Oct 21, 2010
Some English speakers would notice if "whom" is not used Heidi. But you are right it is slowly disappearing. - ian-hill, Oct 21, 2010

Issabella leaving was a shocker to me. Even though Picture of the Day is still in capable hands, I will always remember her efforts.

¡Hola a todos!

Espero que algunos de vosotros me recordéis como Issabela. Quiero agradecerles a los admins por dejarme volver y a mis amigos que me echaron de menos. Me alegra de que hayáis siguiendo con la foto y la palabra del día. Intentaré a escribir mis ejemplos de vez en cuando, si tengo un poco de tiempo libre. En septiembre volví a trabajar en dos escuelas y también empecé a estudiar español en la universidad.

Bueno, acabo de volver de mis clases y me quedo roque. Buenas noches y hasta pronto smile

Everyone mentioned above are missed by me but Fidalgo in particular became a good friend of mine and though sometimes still in touch I wish he would hurry back to SD. Then there is Seitheach, I admire his service to our country and for obvious reasons wish he would check in every now and then.

What has become of the thread creator extrordinaire, Aloshek.

She created the most popular game thread ever. Here it is, just so we can have a few hundred more people view it and answer. wink

Riko, my old sparring partner I miss him a lot he was so funny and clever,

There are so many that I miss it is almost disloyal to mention for fear of causing

offence to those I missed . Nametaken obviously, Benz who monitored my first post,

Rena who was very kind to me when I started , Isabela, S Frenchy, Fidalgo, Lovely l

she will be back soon,Pajarro, Delores lin, Morbo, I wonder have avatars changed

and we do not recognise them. But we do have a lot of good fresh new

faces who are, and will be great contributers to SD, so let us welcome them all

in case they feel unwanted by our reminiscences. grin grin grin cool smile

Benz is around! She is not as active right now as she's been in the past, but I come across new posts every now and then. And I was just thinking about Riko, what with that nasty typhoon peltering the Philippines and all. :-S - Gekkosan, Oct 19, 2010
Yes Riko is very funny and a great guy. He needs to come back to us!!!!! - Nicole-B, Oct 19, 2010

I actually agree with people mentioning chamaco malo and Issabella, jeje, even though I must say, with the former...the fun was somewhat , hmmmm, onesided ? LOL He was a joke though, I did like his posts, he gave this sort of "very personal" view of the language, it was a crying shame he had to leave. Same for Issa, a crying shame.
