Whatever happened too...?
« on: November 21, 2010, 03:36:18 PM »
One thing about teh Internets is people can drop in and out of contact very quickly.  Being here and seeing so many forum nicks has brought some others MIA to mind.

Anyone know what happened to:

Black Knight: I didn't know him but always enjoyed his posts, back when.

Bob Massa: I actually know Bob from my directory days. He used to surface and then goes dark every few years.  Had moved to India last I heard.

There were a few others but many of you are here. Heh.

Feel free to list your own MIA's

Whatever happened to Toolman? (Dennis)

I last spoke to him 5 or 6 years ago.  He also sounded...not mentally well.  I hope he is OK.

He exited stage left from the core about that time.

thats an eclectic list Mick :)

ok - Calum is being prodded to sign up here on a daily basis. That said, he probably managed to get everything stolen again in vegas and hasn't worked out how to use his new phone yet  :D

Chris Ridings I speak to a lot, largely out of SEO now but still occasionally has something inciteful to say

Dave Child is head of digital at GSBA (Hove, or Brighton, I think) after very sensibly turning down a job offer at PG 12 months ago.

Tim OShea is coining it in at Blurtit. Git.

Jeremy who?

Ralph, Aaron and Dixon are all on linkedin if anyone wants to look them up.... as is Ammon (aka Black Night see above)

Dave N, yeah, I was wondering why he isn't here but didn't want to ask in case we lost him to the MSN borg?



I don't suppose anyone is in touch with Lots0? I do miss his awesome trolling......

Toolman left the industry for good. Last thing I head is that he is day trading

>> something inciteful to say

Like "Burn the witch"?  ;D

It's a minor point, but I'd had the impression that this thread was about people you've lost touch with rather than people who weren't here. People who aren't here probably deserves it's own thread anyway.

Nevertheless...

>> Brett Tabke - Can't see Brett wanting to sign up at another forum, he's got his hands more than full with his own
>> Aaron  Wall - Again, got his own place. Not sure how keen he'd be on diluting his presence (ie why would you pay to join his forum, when you could ask him stuff here for free?)
>> Guy Kawasaki - Seriously? I mean, it would be interesting to have input from outside the industry and all, but unless he's quietly acquired a lot more technical knowledge than I give him credit for, I think about 90% if the threads here will just pass him by. That said, the 10% may well be worth it
>> Greg Boser - I'm sure we could ask, but he just sold up to Blueglass, I supect he's going to be insanely busy with that for a while
>> Jenny Skinner - I think she'd be delighted to be invited, and more than a little freaked out, but delighted
>> Keir McConomy - Heh, yes, so long as he actually talks about a few things....
>> Todd Malicoat - Yer, Stunty would be good
>> Vanessa Fox - not exactly ex-engineer-gone-rogue, but excellent source of insight

Bob has been active on SEO Book forums.

Thanks werty.  Massa was blogging for awhile and then tried Twitter then when dark - but I figured he was talking somewhere cos Bob can only talk to himself so long.  ;D

Many of the others mentioned are on Twitter but very little of substance there just 140 char chatter.  (Wasn't that way at first - Twitter stream used to have more good SEO-ish reading referrals than now.) /topicdrift

Todd has a girlfriend and pot prescription, so that dude is pretty busy. I will bug him too though.

What about Jim Boykin?
