Real Life Member updates, including stupid opinionated opinioning!

JCDenton: real life name, Richard Morgan. We haven't talked in an age because:
1. He's never online - and -
2. Offline, he's moved on to a different sixth form college than just about everyone else in my secondary school (the majority of us stayed on at the same school for secondary and sixth-form education).

I have however, heard that he's turned into a nasty little womaniser ... the girls complain that he's simply not as friendly no more, and the guys think that he's maybe a bit too confident.

Either way, he managed to get into one of the better schools in the Cambridge area, so he's pretty intelligent. Just don't waste brain-power on breaking people's hearts!

Reason for absence: This is not clear... I'm not sure if he appears offline because he's changed his email address, but he I never see him on the net anymore. I seem to remember he complained about the community "not being what it used to", but then, he probably got himself a "life" and he only ever used to come on for you older guys and: Nanjij...

Nanjij real name: James Nanji (hence where the name came from). Widely considered to be too nice for his own good. Because he stayed on at our sixth form college, I see plenty of him and we still talk about games and stuff (I walked home with him about two weeks ago, and swore at a driver who had the cheek to interrupt our UT2004 conversation!). I'm not yet sure if he has a DBZ obessession still, but his friend Chris still told me that "Dragon Ball GT is crappy". Everyone wants Jamie to get together with my pal Sarah... well I do at least! They're both really nice people and they go together well because of that...

Reason for absence: I don't see too much of James online anymore either... part of our UT convo centered on how he was annoyed at still being on dialup, and how he wished he could play on Broaband in a clan or something. He probably has a lot of work on as well. One of his latest posts here complained on this very subject... that he'd come back and people were missing, which is a shame. I reckon he could be persuaded back someday... not now though.

As for the rest of them... I think some expressed reasons for leaving (often not too convincing) whilst others just gradually came less and less. I sometimes miss kamari-ice. Some things he said and did were pretty damned stupid... No I mean, most things he said and done were pretty damned stupid (top of the pile - getting himself banned!) but he seemed to be a nice person some of the time... Perhaps one day, when he's done some serious maturing, he'll return...
