How many of the old posters are still on here from when i used to post?
(Not the really really old posters. More like middle aged poster 😉
Anyone from a few months ago still on?
December 20, 2009 10:59 am at 10:59 am #672196noitallmrParticipantBelieve it or not- I’m still alive!!!
I could hardly believe I’m posting something- its been ages since I was here properly…
Remember me?
December 20, 2009 12:32 pm at 12:32 pm #672197PhyllisMemberI am quite an old timer here too, though I am in and out.
December 20, 2009 3:05 pm at 3:05 pm #672198mazal77Participanthey aussieboy, haven’t read from you in a while, and could to see you back in the CR. I am still around, but doing more lurking. I just haven’t been posting as much. I rather read, unless something interesting turns up and just have to reply, like this thread. But it does seem like there are many new members and alot of the old times have drifted off. I feel the CR has kind of changed. So if your reading, just let us know your around.
December 20, 2009 4:13 pm at 4:13 pm #672199smartcookieMemberI’m here…when I have time.
December 20, 2009 4:54 pm at 4:54 pm #672200oomisParticipantI am here, ready or not ;
December 20, 2009 5:19 pm at 5:19 pm #672201PosterMembermazal77, similarly, I’ve been around a while too. I do some reading and less posting…
December 20, 2009 5:50 pm at 5:50 pm #672202jmattMemberI’m an old lurker and I miss feivel’s stuff
December 21, 2009 5:59 am at 5:59 am #672203yoshiMemberI’m an AK, but not sure how long the Coffee Room has been around, so I guess I’m a middle ager 🙂
Question is, anyone know who the First posters were?
December 21, 2009 6:08 am at 6:08 am #672204YW Moderator-42ModeratorWhere is Joseph?
December 21, 2009 6:13 am at 6:13 am #672205bein_hasdorimParticipantwhich joseph? the real one? the imposter? I don’t even remember anymore.
I guess I’m middle aged too!
December 22, 2009 3:48 am at 3:48 am #672206yoshiMemberMaybe he got a promotion at the YWN 😉
December 23, 2009 12:39 pm at 12:39 pm #672207aussieboyParticipantmazal77:Yeh i havent even read it in like 2 months and i came back and there are so many new posters. I remember the days with moish, joseph, squeak, asdfghjkl, ICOT, and all those people, but yeh the cr has definitly changed!
December 23, 2009 1:08 pm at 1:08 pm #672208namelessMemberThere are lots who disappeared.
There was Moshe Fox, Gemorroh kop, Sheryl.
Any others you remember?
December 23, 2009 1:27 pm at 1:27 pm #672209aussieboyParticipantnameless: feivel, qwertyuiop, anonymisss, areivimzehlazeh, mepal, JayMatt19, kapusta, shaatra, jax, basyisroel2, Golieloxx, A600KiloBear, noitallmr, roshyeshivah
I went thru some old posts to get the names…sorry if i left people out.
December 23, 2009 1:48 pm at 1:48 pm #672210namelessMemberaussieboy,
Yes, but there were lots EVEN before them. I am wondering if anyone else remembers….
A600Kilobear I have seen recently.
There was also TORAHIS1, MDLEVINE, Sussnow,Sammygol(he was funny!), Cherrybim, .
Maybe the YWeditors can help?
December 23, 2009 2:06 pm at 2:06 pm #672211smartcookieMemberYeah, Nameless. Guess they got bored of our company.
Anyway, some of them are probably posting under a different name.
December 23, 2009 3:06 pm at 3:06 pm #672212namelessMemberI dont think they got bored! lol
They probably are still around under other names, as you say.
December 23, 2009 4:20 pm at 4:20 pm #672213workingMemberI thought you are not allowed to have a few usernames?? I am confused! I have also wondered were they all went…. It became quite boring the last few weeks over here
December 23, 2009 5:26 pm at 5:26 pm #672214YW Moderator-80MemberYou are NOT allowed to have more than one user name. However the moderators are pretty lenient about this generally as long as you simply switch from one to another and don’t go back and forth, especially during the same period of time.
Some of the ex-posters probably got bored, some left because they felt they were developing an addiction, some who consistently were getting their posts edited or deleted (for reasons I won’t go into) got frustrated and gave up.
December 23, 2009 5:39 pm at 5:39 pm #672215namelessMemberCharedim Kol Yisroel was quite a asset to the site, I must say. He was clever, polite and thorough. Sammygol was hillarious and sharp. Then there was a poster named Yossi Brisuk, Midwesterner and ofcourse our resident lefty liberal, ILLINI.
I also recall Sarah.
Many of these bloggers are missing. Some cos they wer challenging, and others because they wre very qualified…..
December 23, 2009 6:40 pm at 6:40 pm #672216workingMemberI miss sqeak, Jphone, asdfgh, ames and another few which i cant recall their names at this moment.
December 23, 2009 6:59 pm at 6:59 pm #672217YW Moderator-80MemberDecember 23, 2009 7:13 pm at 7:13 pm #672218noitallmrParticipantworking- his name was noitallmr!!!
December 23, 2009 8:23 pm at 8:23 pm #672219oomisParticipantThere may also be people who stopped posting because something obnoxious was said to them, and they were not able to let it roll off. Many people are timid about posting, and when they finally get up the courage and are insulted, they go back into lurker mode.
December 23, 2009 8:25 pm at 8:25 pm #672220YW Moderator-42ModeratorLet’s take a stroll down memory lane…
jent1150, rabbiofberlin, illini07, charlie brown, feivel, Curious, beacon, Just Smile, Brooklyn19, cokenotpepsi, ames, cherybim, jphone, Mayan_Dvash, Bowzer, lgbg, NeveAliza, Shadow, Just ME, Feif Un, Areivimzehlazeh, Jax, mepal, kapusta, Goldieloxx, JayMatt19, mdlevine, Joseph, Will Hill, Hill of Beans, ujm, THE BIG ONE, Mezonos Maven
December 23, 2009 8:40 pm at 8:40 pm #672221noitallmrParticipantYW Moderator-42- Um, exactly why did I not qualify???
December 23, 2009 8:42 pm at 8:42 pm #672222NY MomMemberWell, I have not been around so long, but I do recognize many of the names you listed, Mod 42.
We all have to remember that pple have lives outside of the CR and change happens. Sometimes sad, but change can be good, too. 🙂
December 23, 2009 10:12 pm at 10:12 pm #672223JotharMemberI still lurk, but I post more rarely.
December 23, 2009 10:28 pm at 10:28 pm #672224aussieboyParticipantwow mod42 youve been around for a while.. i think i came pretty soon after brooklyn19 got exposed and left so most of those names were before my time
December 24, 2009 1:59 am at 1:59 am #672225YW Moderator-42Moderatornoitallmr, I did not include you (or squeak) because you have posted recently. I was mentioning the old timers who are no longer around.
Some more names… Prince Charming, 000646, anonymisss, xoxo, WolfishMusings, shkoyach, whatshaiches, Doc, bugnot, bugyes, Bogen, mamashtakah, mosherose
Edit to add: OMG, I forgot…. Moish01
December 24, 2009 2:49 am at 2:49 am #672226coke not pepsiMemberHey! im still here
December 24, 2009 3:02 am at 3:02 am #672227YW Moderator-42ModeratorWow, how many old timers are now mostly lurkers? and why?
December 24, 2009 3:11 am at 3:11 am #672228haifagirlParticipantIf people were offended by my attacks on their grammar, I apologize.
December 24, 2009 3:53 am at 3:53 am #672229goody613Membertoday is my one year anniversary in the cr! ;0)
December 24, 2009 6:41 am at 6:41 am #672230namelessMemberYW, Moderator,
You have their contact details, why don’t you inquire as to why they just left?
December 24, 2009 8:10 am at 8:10 am #672231namelessMemberA few others that come to mind;
abimeleibt, Hakatan,MDshwecks,Shazam, sayitlikeitis,stan the man, abigezint.
December 24, 2009 2:17 pm at 2:17 pm #672232oomisParticipantPeople have babies, get new jobs, change schedules, have kids who need the computer, etc. I am only on-line when no one else in my family needs to be, or if I have some free time in-between things I am doing (i.e. babysitting my granddaughter, while she naps, or doing laundry, etc.). There are a myriad of reasons why people may or may not be posting these days. It’s their prerogative, either way.
December 24, 2009 3:22 pm at 3:22 pm #672233AnonymousInactiveWow – Mod 42 – you sure are bringing back memories of the old days… :}
December 31, 2009 8:29 pm at 8:29 pm #672234SJSinNYCMemberI guess I’m not an old timer 🙂
I had a baby and got busy. Plus, I got hooked on imamother.com which is much less moderated. Its not that I want to say anything wrong, it just makes me FEEL like I can express myself better.
I’ll probably start getting back in now…
December 31, 2009 8:38 pm at 8:38 pm #672235A600KiloBearParticipantBS”D
I come back only when time permits or when there is a really good discussion. Right now, due to legal holidays and impossible weather, time permits. Next week that changes except for motzoei Shabbos bc Shabbos ends so early here.
December 31, 2009 8:57 pm at 8:57 pm #672236mom12ParticipantImpossible weather in Eretz Hakodesh?
If I’m not mistaken thats where u hail from..
Actually thats the reason I have more time to hang around on-line-
here it is snowing and quite difficult to push a stroller..
Time to cook dinner..
C U later….
December 31, 2009 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm #672237A600KiloBearParticipantBS”D
Ukraine here – same time zone as EY but way north and therefore climate more like NY.
December 31, 2009 9:08 pm at 9:08 pm #672238mom12Participantsorry-
Enjoy the snow
January 4, 2010 6:08 pm at 6:08 pm #672239AnonymousInactiveAhh the good old days……
January 4, 2010 6:49 pm at 6:49 pm #672240Feif UnParticipantMod-42, I’m still around, and post every so often.
January 4, 2010 9:46 pm at 9:46 pm #672241mamashtakahMemberHey, I’m still around too – although it’s nice to be missed!
January 6, 2010 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm #672242oldCRgang01MemberWow, this place sure has changed. Seems quiet….
I can’t imagine why? You and kapusta and mepal accounted for about 50% of the posts…80
January 6, 2010 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #672243oldCRgang02MemberYeah, where have they all gone to??
January 6, 2010 8:43 pm at 8:43 pm #672244FerdParticipantGood question.
Why don’t you tell us – mepal, annie, I mean “oldCRgang02”.
