Alright, so I was going through the archives as I so often do, and I happened upon a thread I made back in 2007, where we all listed people we missed from TPM's past.
Fast forward twelve years (my goodness) and TPM has become the definition of a circle jerk, with only a scant few of us ever replying to anything. And you know that I love you guys, but last time we did this, it had a weird, unexpected effect where people who were mentioned came back for a guest appearance.
Will it work if we try it now? I don't know. But fuck it, I miss the depth of this community.
So let's try it!
I am evoking the name of Heald, my former miscellaneous moderating cohort. His dry wit was the stuff of TPM legend, and he always just seemed unflappable.
And also mr_pikachu, who rose to the ranks of the TPM elite through a lucrative posting career.
