As the title says, who've you noticed go Missing In Action, and confused as to why they've dissapeared or what they're up to now.

For me it would have to be a list of the following users who have seemed to dissapear over the years here, and are sorely missed (by me and I'm quite sure others):

SubElement
Ghazrat
Slasher
HaarBall
Artificial Stupidity
Yogi
melmish
Bronzetiger
Lahiru
craptest
tHeLiNk

and I'm sure there's more.

So hopefully this will either get them back in here for the hook that is PALGN or someone may explain why they dissapeared.

Yogi's doing his compulsory military service in Norway. I'm not sure if Haar is doing the same or whether he got some exemption for his football.

Yogi posted on IGN last week, so he is still alive at least icon_lol.gif

I'm pretty sure I've seen Haar pop up on MSN from time to time.

Somebody still remembers me? I am greatly honoured icon_smile.gif

I lurk in here from time to time, albeit not very actively. I post even less frequently - heck, you could say that I don't post at all these days.

Yet here I am, checking out this thread thanks to SubElement ( who sent me the link via MSN ). icon_smile.gif

How are ya, guys?

Artie keeps coming back, every so often posting a "I'm back!" thread. icon_razz.gif

PALGN keeps growing in visitors and reputation, we've almost got 5000 forum members and passed 150,000 posts a while back.

We've even got cartoon versions of the staff now.

Bronze is a Hyper regular but yeah I think you're right on the lurking thing too. I thought Link was active again somewhere, then again I wouldn't know as I wasn't ever really friends with him. VCGN... Good memories.

Civ was on holiday over in America for a while although as of today he is back. No doubt he'll start getting back into the internet stuff (including here) when he has settled back into his normal lifestyle.

Destroy was a user who usually only posted in the Article Talk section but started venturing out into the other forums. Then he just disappeared, pretty much around the same time he got Live actually.

Craptest is another Hyper dude at the moment, well he was last time I knew anyway. As for Lahiru/Capoeira, he just disappeared after the E3 stuff. Shame too really as he seemed like an awesome bloke. Guess not...

I liked craptest - good poster IMO. Lahiru/Cap basically left as soon as he departed from staff.

Destroy seems to have a bit of a Chromehounds addiction I think.

Also thanks for the replies about those who haven't returned (yet) and it's weird to hear about Lahiru (I just browsed the one question thread, thanks the_cro).

Obviously these people have been away for some time (the majority) as I've been here since the start of the year and never heard of them..

I don't know how anybody can leave this place, if I havn't been on here for more than a day I start itching to see what I've missed out on!

If you guys stcik around, it would be interesting to see your point of view on how things have changed..
