DL - In Memoriam

Do you mean DLers show just drifted away? Or do you mean, who died? (And how would you know?)

Speaking of possibly dead DLers, is David Ehrenstein still alive?

Gerg.

Prince Akeem Blackmussy MagicalNWord

^He's still here. He posted today in the "Carter Dead" thread.

Kieran Turner, of the "OK, DL Doctors & Nurses" threads.

I became a long distance friend of Price through DL. He was a really nice guy with a wicked sense of humor. I miss hearing his take on life.

r4 Oh it's still here - with about 5 usernames - it sometimes 'forgets' to write in its fake street mode, or forgets if he's using one of its male usernames versus one of its female usernames (mao, etc.)

R8. Mao is a female?!

R7. I'm sorry for your loss. It would be cool to be a long distance friend with some DLers. Some...not all.

Where’s AYB?

I miss Butchie. I hope he's still kicking somewhere.

Did Erna die again?

Kieran Turner obit

Erna really must be dead.

NonSurvivingAngel

The rescue cats that were chewed up by the electronic litter box.

Does wishing T*****e dead in 2024 count?

It's not too late, after all.

How’s his cat, R23?

Cackle cackle.

What’s the price of gas in Half Moon Bay?

I thought it was Umpy's roommate's cat. Tammy?

I miss those non sequitur posts.

what about ShinjukoBaby?

Yes yes-so sorry to hear about Price Water Barrel.

What happened to ShinjukoBaby?

Well, ElderLez purportedly died, but then she posted to let us know she was still alive, so that was an interesting relief.

Is it morbid of me to wonder if registered-name posters (or those with informal names like senior-lesbian) are dead if I don't see their names on here for more than a month?

I was very worried about VoiceofTheNight for a while, but then he posted recently, to my relief. But I haven't seen Native West Virginian on here in a long time, so I'm worried about him these days.

[quote][R8]. Mao is a female?!

r9 Yes, I am. And today is my last day on this half-ass moderated board. I'm tired of being harassed and blocked from posting from targeted FFs because a bunch of trolls (many who are undoubtedly racist) either sincerely think I'm him or are just being assholes. It's not worth the subscription payment if ignoring users who stalk you around the board doesn't block them from being able to also see your posts and completely leave you alone.

I used to use this account to track when my main was being mass FF'ed and there has been a significant increase in the occurrence since I've been getting accused of being Teacake and started authenticating my posts. It's beyond absurd. The block feature on this site is sorry. The moderation is sorry. I'm done.

To those on here who are actually decent people (off the top of my head) such as senior lesbian, ElderLez (though we disagree on plenty issues), menluvinguy, Torta, rescue-chick, SurvivingAngel, NoPalmOil, Della, any kindhearted posters who only post Anonymously etc., have a happy and peaceful New Year.

The joy has been taken out of posting on DL due to how lazily this site is managed with its moderation. It has essentially given the keys of the asylum to the crazies and that is who runs the board, now. If we block someone, that should be a [bold]mutual block[/bold] otherwise, what is the point if they can still fuck with your account with mass FFs? Have a good night. I'm going to play some MK 1, watch the ball drop, and maybe trade some meme coins for the hell of it.

Boo hoo, you.

Doo doo.

What’s “meme coins”, precious? What’s “meme coins”?

Don't worry about it, r35.

R36. He won't worry it and neither will a majority of folks here. Happy New Year!

Funko Pops.

Is German Gay Guy still with us?

YourMillennialFriend reached 'renewal' at the Datalounge carousel.

He’s with Gerg and LL, in DL hell.

I’m just mourning wahhhhhh

At last, the admission that you use socks, which you've previously denied. From 𝐌𝐦𝐦..𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤-𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫, Reply 75, under the 'mao' account:

[quote]For the billionth GODDAMN TIME, I am not Black Millennial. That is a Black gay man. I am a Black gay female 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭.

Liar.

And it's worth remarking that, if it was actually true that you weren't Black Millennial, you wouldn't know for a fact who or what he was. If a different poster on an anonymous board, he would be a complete mystery to you.

But I have to thank you for the satisfaction of proving me right about your sock use.

So, blocking someone is only worthwhile to you if it actually 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 to the other person, instead of merely obstructing your view of them. So that's why you've never blocked me (despite claiming that you have, somehow you've always been able to see my posts and reply to them).

Nobody who makes a show out of leaving ever actually does. But tentatively taking your announcement at face value, I will say be well, and have a Happy New Year.

Pot and Kettle meet up on the DL. A time-honored tradition here. You deserve each other.

Yes, the tragic loss of Wit, Information Literacy, and Light Touch.

R33 will be back and posting under one name or another. Serious people just leave they don’t go on and on and on with some I am sad and leaving forum post.

[quote] Serious people just leave they don’t go on and on and on with some I am sad and leaving forum post.

R46, you are certainly right about that, because I posted last year about how sad I was to be leaving after Lipstick Lesbian gave me a piece of her fucking mind, but of course, I am still here. Tee-hee!

Mixes Slocombe. Dead.

When the topic about the death of one Charles Dean from South Carolina was put up in October 2024, the consensus was that he was more than likely a DataLounger. The obituary posted by the OP included many telltale signs. I still remember this amusing line from it:

[quote] Charles had absolutely no interest in professional or amateur sports. None.

Because Datalounge is an anonymous board, knowing for a fact that a particular poster has died is vanishingly rare, and of necessity requires a suspension of anonymity - the person in question must be doxxed.

During the time I've posted here, I can only think of 𝑜𝑛𝑒 that's been claimed, and that would be Pierre. There's been several mentions of his alters over the past three weeks or so (the Christmas Moose, the Christmas Mouse, etc), so I suspected it was building up to this.

Gerg is dead?

I'm sad about Price Leatherbarrow. What happened? He was so cute and talented

I’m guessing we drove Gerg away, unsurprisingly.

Friday Afternoon Drinkypoos

I hope the trucker gay who introduced himself on the lot lizard thread is okay

R51 R53 Gerg was banned because of his bullshit.

Didn't Ellen of Des Moines go back to jail?

WHET Kirker?

He's still here r58, posting anonymously. He briefly broke anonymity a few months ago.

Kieran Turner is not Price Leatherbarrow.
