What happened to [insert nick here]?

edited January 2015 in Sinclair Miscellaneous
I've been reading the old threads and I wonder why some people stopped posting. I'm going to post a few nicks, and maybe this thread could be used to ask about someone and someone else will reply if he/she has something to say.

I'll start with the first one, someone I would like to contact, but seems to be unavailable:

-LCD (author of Bmp2scr)

Does anyone know what happened to him, if he's ok, etc? Thanks.

    I haven't seen Skarpo online for a longer time...
    Either he posts under a different name (is Skruppy Skarpo?) or he's got internet problems...hopefully

    In case he bumps this thread:
    HEY DUDE! WE HAVE SOME UNFINISHED GAMES TO PLAY :P

    He's OK, but he will not be online for some time.

    monty.mole hasn't let out a squeak either (though he supposedly visits the forums). Others that are missing: MatGubbins, jil, GOC, judasEZT and a few others who used to be regulars in here.

    Mr Anonymous has been fairly quiet recently, and it's rare to see the Pigdog pop up nowadays. I always wondered what happened to Degsy as well.

    haven't seen LeeT in a while, in fact he has disappeared from 'myspace' (or he has deleted me from his friends list.

    and... 'wheres the AY chip' isn't up to his usual trolling antics anymore, or for that matter his 'buddy' mysterious internaught

    It seems we also need a Specchum preservation project. :/

    I wouldn't mind giving more information about me to a w.o.s. db.
    Nicks change, e-mails change, people's life changes, but there should be a way for the missing Specchums to know we miss them.

    There hasn't been a peek out of Alessandro Grussu in almost two years. He used to be a very prolific poster here. I wonder what happened to him?

    College. I sometimes still have some time to lurk a bit, though.

    I'd imagine something similar might have happened to Cyborg.

    I would say he is allright. He sent me a mail at the end of February about the map for Barbarian 2 ;-).
