Whither...everyone?

post #1 of 69
Thread Starter 
Ok I'll admit I've a tad busy these past couple of weeks. I haven't been CHUDing as much as I usually do. Perhaps I'm missing something. Perhaps there was another Infinite Crisis that pulled a bunch of people off onto Earth 2 CHUD (the one where Batman has kids and Batmite lays pipe on college chicks)...but where the hell are a lot of people? Seriously, what did I miss?

Brad, Dan, Charlie, Andrew Clarke and apparently Werbal have moved on to pastures new, sadly.

The clues are there. Follow the links!

I've said too much already. Oh, god here they come! Avenge meeeeee!

Maybe they aren't posting anything here, but they are all reading the boards. Everyone listed above show having being on the boards in the past day (or even today).

They are watching. Surveying our thought and our actions, so they can choose the worthy.

I wasn't aware these 5 people constituted "everyone". The boards have been slow mainly because of the Holiday weekend and the lack if decent movies to talk about.
post #10 of 69
While those 5 do not constitute everyone, they do constitute a LARGE percentage of posts.
post #11 of 69
Losing Whitehead is definitely a devastating blow.
post #12 of 69
They're also the only five prominent posters to outright disappear over the past ten days. I know you didn't see eye-to-eye with them a lot of the time Diva, but I'm pretty sure they're the absentees that've piqued KC's interest.
post #13 of 69
I havent been online much as I have the week off but logging in and seeing those 5 gone was a big shock.

But didn't Charile and Brad have their own website?

Crow as well. I need my Nintendo friend.

But yeah, it just seemed slow around here in general. That was all. Plus I always wanted to use the word "whither". Which you might be surprised to know is not the same as wither.

Peoplel take breaks from CHUD...it's a part of life.
Like taking a magnifying glass to an ant or dropping water balloons off of an overpass onto commuters, it's all connected.
post #16 of 69
Their lack of presence is noticable. But to say they were responsible for the slowing of the boards over the weekend is a bit of a stretch.
post #17 of 69
Well, the boards HAVE slowed down, that much is true.

This happens every year or two. People leave in a huff and then inexplicably rematerialize. Kirby is a prime example. He was gone from the boards for years and then recently appeared. It's probably partly due to the fact that Devin's boards are down, but he still chose to come here. Like it or not, this site is what brought these guys together. And it'll always be a place they can reconverge in the future. As soon as some big event movie comes out, they all reappear.

And as already mentioned, they still log on daily. Despite the big brother references, I think that they are all just posting on the elite boards. They didn't leave CHUD, they just can't be bothered to mingle with the little people.
post #19 of 69
The elite boards? You think they're still around?

And you think Millette has access to them?
post #20 of 69
The "elite" board has been 'tumblweeds and crickets chirping' for months now, and it's never exactly been a rollicking party in there. They're mostly just posts of a personal nature that people might not want to clog the main boards with.

At any rate, I've been a bit scarce myself lately, but that's mostly to do with starting a new relationship and not having as much time for CHUD. I have to say, I'll really miss Dan around here, but I imagine we can soldier on as best we can. The main site is still the bee's motherfucking knees...
post #21 of 69
Wait! Dan left! When? Where? Why? Who? (wait...I think I figured out the last one).

Seriously, that blows. No offense to the other guys, but Dan is the greatest. There's scientific evidence of that.
post #22 of 69
Here's what makes me sad; there's so many great people on here that people make a big deal when an old timer leaves. Screw it, get to know the people here better instead of worrying about the past.
post #23 of 69
Has Dan officially washed his hands of CHUD or is he merely on vacation? Please say it's the latter...

Obviously I have no idea about those boards as I'm not part of it. Rex Hudler mentioned it in the other thread and I took him at face value. If it's not the case, then its that much more pathetic that those guys keep logging in to see who's talking about them.

The boards exist...Singer's offhand dismissal of the suggestion that they're sticking to the elite boards pretty much confirms it for me.
post #26 of 69
I always struggled with the idea of an virtual community being an actual community, and I'm less apt to be involved or personally affected than some, but that being said, I can live without seeing another Chewer being harrassed and called an "abominable fuckwit" every five seconds.
post #27 of 69
Hell, I just assumed that they were trying to "teach the chewers a lesson". That they figured that they would leave for a while, and then show the people who complain that the boards are going downhill because of them how much the boards go down without them. They read the boards to satiate their ego's, making sure people are still talking about them (which they are), then they return on golden horses in their flaming chariot to save the day. That's what I figured.
post #28 of 69
Now Dagon's the popular one!
post #29 of 69
The bastards left with all of the rep points!!!

I can't imagine sustaining a ton of posts for an extended period of time (at least posts of any substance). I tend to post more on forums when work is slow or being avoided, like now.
post #30 of 69
Dans and Millettes move on, leaving a vacuum for new funny asshats to emerge.
So goes life.
So goes message boards.
post #31 of 69
Call me when Omega2 comes back. I need some more montages. When was the last time you saw a good photo montage on here?

Devin and slater are still around. The snark quotient will be met.

I think I understand why they left now.

A part of me died when he stopped posting crappy pencil drawings of Malcolm, the scarfed rabbit.

Without Millette, I may never reach four boxes.

As much as Dan and I usually argue, he was very smart, and was just about always right. But you know, like Nick said, just move on.

It's a shame he never really achieved any proper CHUD-market penetration with that...

Are you serious with this tough guy schtick? You dismiss someone like Dan's dedicated service to CHUD over many years with this shite?

That's better.

Don't worry Kueller. You'll get your 4 boxes.

I doubt that was dismissal, but it's more like he's saying that we should just roll with it instead of just allowing this to become the new version of the rep points discussions.

Tell me more about this scarfed rabbit.

That's lame. I thought there was going to be something more than just an actual scarfed Rabbit.

You know, something like the Rabbit eating Betty White's soul or something.

Dan and I have discussed this in private and all is well, my concern is people whose decisions and choices are dictated by others. The site and the boards are still here and still just fine. As for tough guy schtick, I don't get what you're saying but I'll punch you.

I still live. Just lots of big life stuff going on, the biggest casualty of which being that i missed an assload of movies over the past month (for the best possible reason, though), not to mention the calm before big Nintendo news next week, and it adds up to me having less to say than usual.

Things will settle down in the next week or so. I'll be around.

Still, nice to be missed.
