Thread Starter 
Let's start this thread to mention members missing in action.
Where we will demand their return.

I'll start.

Scent. I know why you haven't been active but I demand you resume your activities here

MFJ has been MIA.
post #3 of 98
Merlino, it's been way too long!
post #4 of 98
My old buddies Irish and Bluesoul - we all started around the same time. And Puddlemonkey - master of the one-liner. You're all missed.

Tott
Riannon
Two Roads
Merlino
JustCallMeMo
JaneDaly / 3xasif
MFJ and Scent of course....

Just a few members I miss very much .
post #6 of 98
The ever elusive Naed Nitram - one of the most mysterious Basenoters, yet also one of the ultimate arbiters
of fragrance-related elegance

DustB is MIA too

On a similar note, pun intended, I'd like to see more action from foetidus and Off-scenter.
post #9 of 98
This was mentioned on another thread already, but where is Taolady? l used to enjoy her posts & reviews, long before l became a member myself.

And Shycat; her experience of Michael Storer's Stephanie was hilariously similar to my own, almost word for word. l would love to see more from her!
post #10 of 98
Silverbullet. Jack....stop beating people up with martial arts and start posting again.

foetidus is basically into reviews and SOTD
OffScenter has been laying low
SirSlarty seems to have fell off the face of the earth.

I wonder where Haunani went? She was such a kind and entertaining Basenoter.
post #12 of 98
Yes, DustB! I emailed him over a month ago and he never responded. Hope he's ok.

She is! And she was kind enough to almost instantly respond to a PM I sent her yesterday, so she is still around.....

Buzzplepuff. Apparently hes been posting, but not enough IMO!
post #19 of 98
What about Emlynevermore?
post #20 of 98
Amongst the aforementioned names, the absence of Musse is particularly striking

Further highly witty, stylish and overall fascinating Basenoters I miss (the might be still active on BN, but if so,
infrequently and hardly posting) are:

Baldufita and Des Grieux

DustB
Tott
Actiasluna

Yeah, MFJ's been MIA from his own blog. Figured he's just busy with the real world.
But really could do with Puddlemonkey's fearless wisecracks.
And another interesting character ...Mouchoir de Monsieur.

And of course the venerable Scentemental.



How about Addict? Eh? Eh?

mrclmind doesn't post nearly as often as I'd like him to either.
post #32 of 98
Dimitrios aka Thunder from down under has been missing for a very long time now. It's a shame since he is a terrific basenoter.
post #33 of 98
Smells_Familiar and DustB from the wooznib sampling group are MIA
Emlynevermore from the Ungaro sampling group, also MIA

I've messaged all three and even mailed a note to Emlynevermore but no replies.... hope they are okay.

I should have known that the mere mention of Kouros will get him back in action.
post #36 of 98
I miss ipaidforthisname. His MPG thread was great. I used to chat with him on AIM after he left here. Seemed he lost his love for fragrance.

I miss the controversial Serpent and his love for Kingdom.

Also what was his name Sixcats I think? Tom was legendary for his love of strong, stinky scents.

I also miss PaulG and his stories of his students comments on his scents.
post #37 of 98
Where is Dennard ???
post #38 of 98
Also: Lightningrod
post #39 of 98
And Tovah! Always enjoyed her reviews.
post #40 of 98
All those mentioned above, but also Asha and lushsoup.
post #41 of 98
Peevish_Yolk and (hopefully not still banned) Everso
post #42 of 98
Where has kumquat been? And purplebird!! I't been a very long time for purplebird.
post #43 of 98
Heartwood is missed, but I know a new baby takes up a LOT of time.
post #44 of 98
Kumquat ,Heartwood - very missed .

scent!
post #46 of 98
It is kinda difficult to discover who is MIA of their own accord and who is missing due to banning since the 'Banned' label is no more and you don't read the pertinent posts.

edit: I see PuddleMonkey is back!

It has been over a year that I joined and then did not post. The truth is that there are smaller discussion groups where the members have a chance to really get to know each other. Here, I feel like in NYC Grand Central Station, people milling around left and right, and nobody connects, although all seem to know where they are going. The group is just too large.

However, with some perseverance, and better navigation skills, I will enjoy this website discussion group, Basenotes, because of the multitude of ideas constantly brought to the table. It is just making me dizzy, now. But, really, that's just me, thanks anyway.

So true, that's why I am hanging in there. (It is also convenient to get an e-mail notice that my post had a reply, so I don't have to dig for it.)
BTW, could it be that YOU are sometimes posting on a smaller website, called Fr.......a ??

After 3,000 something posts as Udaria, I got tired of the place. Too many recipes and cat photos. But, lately some interesting discussions about skin chemistry. Which also has been talked to death everywhere.

That is fine with me. Everybody has "a virtual eye" on the other members, that is easy, I have nothing to hide. The fun is to interact with just a few key strokes, but the trouble with Basenotes with its huge membership is, that only when you get a notice via e-mail about a reply to so-and-so thread, you are aware of that reply, and then resume communication, which is cumbersome. Nevertheless, I am in here, too, for what it is worth.
