This is a thread to remember formerly active EAN members who have since disappeared from our family, lurk on the boards now and again, and never really mustered the courage to post because they think they're estranged or forgotten.
Post their names here so they know they're still loved. I'll start:
- Jeepin4X4[/color]
PS: Pls mention only one name so that it involves more ppl (to mention others)
PPS: If you know the whereabouts/condition of any ppl mentioned, please do share
PPPS: This thread will have served its purpose if even one of the people mentioned comes back to acknowledge it

I’ll tell you my honest feelings about this. I’m kinda creeped out about rob’s incessant need to keep tabs about the comings and goings of many members here and the demands of pictures and hearing of details of meets that other members have arranged amongst themselves.
Maybe he cares about them (and I actually believe he does to a certain extent) in which case that’s nice to know but the fact is, as James correctly pointed out, that such threads have already been started several times by the same said person and this is bordering on weird when the same threads could have been simply re-cycled.
Those that have stopped or cut down on their postings will have their personal reasons which is up to them to share with whomever they so wish. Those that have genuinely stopped for good will not be reading this thread. Those that still lurk occasionally still have the power to post if they choose to but they do so on their own initiative and are not here to provide entertainment or fill in the gossip gaps of others here.
If one person comes back to acknowledge it then what does that achieve except to say “hi” and then return to their pattern of lurking or barely visiting the site? And those that lurk but not get mentioned, what does that mean? Yes, it means nobody cares.
I’m sure you’re a nice guy rob, and the gesture of posting the names of former members as being missed is kosher but the starting of these threads again to fish for gossip and constantly enquiring on the comings and goings of others is bordering on weird/obsessive.
PS. Yes I do know the whereabouts of other former active members but it’s not my tact and discretion to start blabbing it to the whole wide world.

^ Why don't you ask the 30++ people I've met here whether I creep them out? Make me your target. Shoot away. Let's see what you can do.

^It’s nice to let us all know that you’ve managed to track down 30+ people. There are others who have also met a similar number of people but not feel the compulsion to constantly track their every movement plus that of others.

Anyone else care to stand alongside DaViD on this? People I've met? People that hate me? Anyone?!
I'm kinda waiting for DaViD's cavalry before I decide whether any sort of character defense *might * be worth my time. Oh, and some testimonials from the ppl I’ve stalked might be nice too.
(Mods: Realize we're off-topic, but pls give this thread some time to linger. Thanks)

Oh, and some testimonials from the ppl I’ve stalked might be nice too. Rob has occasionally mentioned my own "stalking" habit, and I must say...it is Rob and I who make the most threads with "EAN" in the title. It seems we're the ones who're most interested/obsessed with the EAN community. Rob and I are probably the most obsessive/stalker-like members on EAN. But I'm not saying Rob is a stalker, and I'm not saying I'm a stalker either ( LOL ). I'm just saying...I probably understand how Rob feels, because people have also called me creepy for being too interested in EAN. But I have never met anyone from EAN, while Rob has met 30+. Maybe we should make a Rob version of this thread... eurasiannation.proboards48.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1143604369&page=2

You make it sound as though we (the people Rob has met) are prey and he is some stalker. Please... Rob is anything but that. And you'd realize if you had met him in person that by starting a thread like this, he isn't being 'obsessive'--he's just curious and probably actually misses some of these people.

It's not a matter of hate Rob. Nor do cavalries need to come galloping over the horizon – that is, unless you feel *you* need them. Whether people who’ve met you feel “creeped” out or not does not detract from the fact you creep *me* out with your constant need to keep tabs on everyone. Let alone the number of people who are not here to post regularly to update you with their lives. Your own words and snide remarks about others who don’t post here regularly or anymore, speak for themselves. The latest one from just yesterday: moondragon and lately, unidentifiedbitch!!! wooww didnt think id meet you so soon! ;D details? pictures? Need I remind you that if u don't post any, you're liable to be labelled another EAGuy or Dragan (ie. people that dont post but just mack on chicks in the background) Plus just a few samples more I had already highlighted here

Nobody who has met him is prey as you are all astute enough to look after yourselves. You miss my drift completely Sensei (but I understand what you are emphasizing) as I have already alluded to his caring persona. It’s his repetitive need to know (and do actually know) the mundane details of people….people he has not even ever met or know or interacted with on-Forum…that is beyond mere caring or mere curious or mere missing.
