Where are they now?

[dtaai-maai]

I'm not sure if this is just morbid curiosity or having a bit of free time for a change, but there are quite a few regular posters who have vanished into the ether. I've always thought of this forum as a community, and I'm interested to know (without great detail, of course) whether they are still alive and kicking and where they are.

I've had a quick(ish) scroll through the membershiop list - got up to about 2008 before my eyes started drooping. Some were banned, but I'm still curious about them (hell, some of those were the most interesting posters!). I've obviously left out those I know have passed away.

BaaBaa
Jockey
Mr Plum
Dawn
bapak
Randy Cornhole
tuktukmike
Norseman
JW
JimmyGreaves
splitlid
Superjoe
Name Taken
Zidane
Roel
Sandman67
Buffalo Bill
kendo

[laphanphon]

They haven't applied for any marriage visas at any embassies .... have they...

[buksida]

At least three of those have been banned and at least five moved to the UK.

But two of them are moderators.

I will do my best - I might get some wrong:

BaaBaa - disappeared after receiving constant barracking about Liverpool FC
Jockey Banned
Mr Plum Banned
Dawn Departed of her own free will
bapak Went to Australia with a few health problems. AFAIK still around. Has been in personal contact this year.
Randy Cornhole Returned to UK - has made the odd appearance since
tuktukmike Makes rare appearances
Norseman Still around.
JW Not sure where he is - I think he's probably outgrown the Forum
JimmyGreaves Don't know
splitlid I'm sure I've seen a few Classified posts
Superjoe Still posts occassionally
Name Taken Don't know
Zidane Don't know
Roel Don't know
Sandman67 Returned to UK, and disappeared
Buffalo Bill Banned
kendo Still around

Going through some of the names e.g. Zidane and Jimmy Greaves, they used to post in football threads. The activity on football has basically dried up.

Apologies if I've mis-represented somebody.

Haven't seen any posts by Norseman and kendo recently, though I may have missed some. I've been back in the UK for 18 months, but I still have a keen interest in what goes on in HH. Just checkin' on my neighbours!

JW is still very much around and running his own business. I bought my house via him and I bumped into him in VM a few weeks back.

Last I heard of Dawn was that she was in the UK and had married.

Hi DM.
I have moved away from Hua Hin, made a new house in Korat and are living there.
The so-called sleepy fishing town has changed so much that I didn't want to live there anymore.
It's just turned into some sort of party-town, filled up each weekend with fools from Bangkok.
Same thing in Cha Am as well.
I just fell in love with Hua Hin when it used to be just as sleepy as myself, and I hate the new radical changes of this town.

[dtaai-maai]

Thanks Norseman, pleased to hear you are well and happily settled (though I don't remember you as particularly sleepy...) and thanks for the update, caller.

Well stated Norseman! My sentiments exactly and one of the big reasons we decided to leave. Anyone who was around before 2005 will fondly remember the "old" Hua Hin.

Jimmy Greaves is alive and active and participates in our Champions League pool. In fact he's second after Tuesday's results. Pete

[Big Boy]

As I said, he was one of the Premier League Gurus. That is a thread that has taken a battering this season. I haven't looked for this season, but he used to be the guy to kick eack season's discussion off.

Superjoe Still posts occassionally

Hmm, his last post is dated 17th May 2016. Don't know that that would be called "occasionally". I seem to recall him posting that he was not going to use the forum anymore.

[Big Boy]

Unless, I'm confusing him with somebody else, he's posted since then - maybe subsequently deleted.

Hi dtaai maai, some 'neighbours' are much closer than you know.

That post was a bit spooky - until I saw your location!
