Maybe true, maybe speculation, but if it helps, this is what I heard....
Andy (Synkrotron) - Changed his name to Nigel and disappeared in tangle of wires trying to connect his second LFO to his DCO.
James (James1213) - Got a bit fed up with certain people poking fun at the girlfriends of his kinfolk - or sheep as they're sometimes known.
Dave (Bitflipper) - Seemingly awol since his own thread got deleted, presumably by another mod. Currently looking for a new dummy.
Daryl (Daryl1968) - Fell in love with a monkey and now residing on the Planet of the apes.
Ubiquitous Bubba - well, could be anything, right?
James (Sharke) - Ran off with a weird looking chick called Bitwig.
Beepster - Furiously breeding hamsters in attempt to improve the power of his laptop.
Pedro (Moshkiae) - Bored himself to sleep 3 years ago. Still comatose.
Jonbouy - made enough from forum fees to retire to a medium sized bungalow in Brighton where he occasionally intimidates the neighbours just for fun.
Yorolpal - Selling Yeller fro's on a beach somewhere..
Rain - Saw the ghost of Elvis. Currently making an album with him in a very dark room.
