Aren't there quite a few other names that have been missing for some time ?
All banned ?
Quite a few newish members who are quite opinionated as well have appeared.All banned ?
I had no problem with WB or BV etc.
There is a vibe though that's not here anymore. There used to be some great amusing topics in the lounge.
Edit, I've been in here 16yrs?! Wtf.

Wasn’t there a thread, for members who disappeared? Can’t recall the name of it.
Yup, was here - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...But got closed down - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
The mention of a certain Allium sativum was enough to get the thread shutdown, which was shame because before he got mentioned there were some nostalgic memories of certain posters.
He probably died. It’s probably what happened to most of these posters that just disappeared one day. On another forum I use someone died and everyone knew because their wife came on and posted. If I died there’s no way that my wife would do the same on here or any other forum and I would imagine that is the case for nearly everyone here.

I liked some of Cockwomble7's contributions, but he must have got banned for being too "Woke".
It's a cruel environment in here these days...
I can't remember the exact facts of why he got banned but i do know it involved him imbibing too much giggle juice one night. I seem to recall he got into it with another poster and it got nasty fast, hence him being canned.It's a cruel environment in here these days...
Some of his stories were amusing though and he was a stalwart of the then fledgling TUSRTAYL idea.

Let's hope not.Apart from anything else, he may have been a village idiot but he was *our* village idiot.
I prefer to think of him as camped out next to his electricity meter, poised like a mamba to strike at any member of his family leaving an electrical appliance on stand-by mode or wandering too close to the boiler's 'on' switch
