Two I can think of:

Dizinaustria
Simonfbarnes

Oh, and that paddedbra chap. Although I often wonder if he’s lurking in another guise.

Whatever happened to them I wonder? Any others you can think of? Just curious, like…

I am told sfb left due to the vitriol he created.

Hmm I do remember that he liked to stir up a debate and used to get a bit of a ribbing. Seemed fairly lighthearted at the time. Guess not!

where is Simonfbarnes?

Surfmatt – awesome

Surfmat was ok imo, he could take it, and when he said he was going, he wasn’t just talking the talk.

I saw the mouthy git on a bike ride earlier today – he saved my life supplying me with haribo sweets. He couldn’t lurk on here in another guise – he simply has no other guise.

and when he said he was going, he wasn’t just talking the talk.

True. But prior to his flounce here, he’d flounced off runnersworld (which is a bit like flouncing from a knitting club), and also flounced from some surfing forum.

But when he flounced, he flounced. Awesome!

Surfmatt – awesome

I see what you did there! Awesome!

Paddedbra – as much as he was an argumentative so and so, there’s no doubt he was an entertaining chap…

I bought a bike from Diz – she seemed really nice.

He ( Smurf_hat ) also flounced from the Pistonheads forum, but not for long. Unfortunately…

You’re easily entertained then.

Justa. Now he was a nice chap.

the prawn.
he grew up, got married and had kids and now runs an Ayurveda yoga retreat in Devon. he now rides audax and trailquests.

he does still lurk on here though.

i think it’s sad when there are people who make a real contribution by organising rides and guiding and they go m.i.a, nice to see one of these make a recent comeback.

couldn’t give a shit about the mouthy gits that dissapear, amusing or not they’re like buses, there’ll be another one along soon enough.

Didn’t SmurfMatt founce off Bikeradar too?

Sounds like he’s got it pretty much sorted then 🙂

I’m sensing a pattern here?

After setting up his Special Guyz escort agency, he just ran out of time to frequent the forum.

Who was the owning with bombers guy? Is that thread still about? Legend!

I think he still lurks though, I sometimes get that feeling of being watched. It would feel a bit dirty if it was anyone else though.

oneeyedwilly – got retired for some comment about having a cranial/carnal interface with a dead grandparent iirc.

probably quite a unique dismissal that one.

Ceiling Darcy is watching you post….

Shame if he was banned and/or flounced. Darcy’s one of the good guys.
