I've always found "what have they become" articles nice.
As I know many of you might still have contacts with modders who used to be around but seemed to have fallen off the face of the (Q1) earth, I thought it'd be fun if, from time to time, we found a way to "invite" people back on the forums for a little chat (thread-specific for each modder, obviously), asking them about how things have been for them since they left the community, what good memories they have kept from their experience with Q1. etc... We could even have some kind of questionnaire they could answer to launch conversation. I realize some people will be totally unreachable, but I can't imagine some of them wouldn't want to participate in it, as I'm sure they still surf the net from time to time...
In an ideal world, maybe some of them will like to stick around a little longer than just for the duration of the thread but, I guess we shouldn't get our hopes too high...
What do you think?
Maybe we could use this thread to list a couple of people we have in mind and, if you still communicate with any of the ones listed, you could be the forum's "messenger" and invite them over! Smile

My picks (there are obviously more than three people I'd like to name, but I don't want to swamp this thread with a long list, and I'm sure many of them might appear in your own post Smile):
Ze0
Akuma
LTH
JBallou

Not exactly a modder, but it was great to see Sujoy had a booth at the last qexpo.

My top three would be:

Coffee
Iikka Keronen
JBallou

But then again I'm oldschool.

I'd like to know what the down-under crew are up to. Namely Electro, Randy and ze0.
Also curious to what Static, Deej and Akuma are up to.

I've seen Squirt on #qc recently though I haven't had a good chat with him. Seems to be working on a snowboarding UT3 mod

There's so many others to add to the list:
Mauve and Harbinger (I suppose mauve still pops in now and again?)
Koolio
Plumb
Santa
Horn
Rich Whitehouse
Merl1n (now there's one for the veterans)

Heh, good timing.

I can certainly arrange Harb to pop back if you guys want.

See, I actually sit reading this forum all day everyday, waiting for someone to mention me so I can pounce and creep them out.

Mwhahaha etc.

Rich is sometimes in irc, Plumb has dropped by a few times... Coffee has dropped by a few times... LTH released a map over at Func back in January.

Horn has been gone for a long time, as has Akuma and Deej... I never really did see JBallou much at all.

I speak with SantaClaws at least once a week, he lives half an hour from LordHavoc now and is coding for GarageGames, working on their digital distribution system. We were recently discussing a Quake mod idea of mine, and he had me install Gobby so as to try and coax me into actually coding it. I'm sure I could get him poking back around for at least a day - he just disappears for the sake of productivity.
