Obviously we need to get Devious, Krusty, Mr Vengeance, Laird, DCRip, EvilArmourKing, and other posters of similar calibre back. The place will really be booming then!
In all seriousness, names that spring to mind are nokgod, felgekarp, c=style, killbot, smurph, angry jock, woody.cool, thl, crusto, Rinoa, TwoHeadedBoy and shinobi. Don't know how you'd go about finding any of those or if they'd even be interested. I know not all of them necessarily left due to the state of the RG forum.

Some of them did come back before the end so they might appear eventually, sometimes though its just peoples lives change and they don't have the time or desire to use stuff like forums anymore.

Sounds bad but a lot of people either get demanding jobs or women who are not happy with them doing the whole retro gaming forum talking thing, so many guys asked me to help price them up certain retro items to then come back to me all ''im so sorry to have wasted your time, the misses wont let me''.

Opa Opa maybe? I remember the Rabbit looking avatar but its been so long and my memories not the best Aye it was Opa-Opa. Always loved a weekend Gamer release, shame that for some reason he seemed really adverse to it actually gaining popularity. SirClive would also get my vote, if that made any actual difference to getting him to join. I always remember RevGiblet too. Maybe helps because I said once I'd never played Total Annihilation so he went and posted me the game.

Nokgod, Felglkarp, Crusto were all on the Prison Ship Canteen for a while, Nokgod in particular has hundreds of posts but not been active for a few years now.
THL I haven't heard from for ages, used to play all the time with him on xbox live, we used to team up for online COD back on the 360.

DTSE was another decent guy that came to mind, he used to randomly send me Maiden stuff in the post and wouldn't take anything for it, I do remember Felge wand Woody being decent when I first joined too, Woody being into cars too and talking to me about wanting a MK1 Sccirocco.

DTSE was a legend, talked to him for a long time in diffrent places but lost touch. He came back briefly not long ago on RG. We exchanged a PM but then I didn't hear from him again, and he didn't post again on the forum. I think he just has a lot of life stuff going on tbf with young kids, jobs etc. so it's understandable that he hasn't stuck around.

SirClive springs to mind, Dudley made me laugh and his names gone from my head but the chap who did that Show thing called weekend Gamer I think? I should bloody know it as SirClive sent me a load of bits and pieces from it, but anyway pretty much the guys who made old RG the welcoming place it was before all the drama. As mentioned already, Opa-Opa was SirClive's partner for Weekend Gamer, up until he lost the plot. Shame, as I rather liked him, I'm not sure what went wrong. I still have all the episodes kicking around somewhere on disc. Dudley has been knocking out episodes of Yesterzine on YouTube, so I'd be surprised if he didn't drop in to promote the show here as he did on RG.

Well they will always be welcome, not sure what happened to my stuff although the Magnetic Calendar will be no good to use now lol, if it turns up I'll post it as it's somewhat retro in itself now.

Didn't really know opa-opa that well but he did seem like one of the more aggressive, thorny characters. He'd fit in well over on the Canteen for sure lol
