Desertswo is surely missed. He was a big poster at skyacrapercity. He passed away in November 2015. In fact there's a tribute thread for him at skyscraper city.

Stavkatoons.
Poster called Stavka would take a page from an Asterix book but replace all the text with mp.net related stuff so it looked like Obelix and Getafix were arguing about AKs, M4s and OMFGDELTA!!!
I don't remember specifics, but I do remember that he was funny.

If memory serves. He219 was the host for the daily image thread and it was quite a task. I believe that LAworkerBee (an early mpnet user) might still be in touch with him, as both are Californians.
There was this Japanese person too, Slowman (?), not an unpleasant character but with evident English speaking difficulties and the community made fun of the guy, I believe that he didn’t take it too well and left one day.

Wasn’t He219 of German origins? Or was he just fond of everything German?

No idea, I don’t think we even saw him on TheMess so it’s long gone from my memory. Wasn’t he the guy dating or getting married to Farmgirl?

I can remember farmgirl, but I can’t remember about a romance......
I don't remember how those threads started, but I spent a lot of my college lunch hours browsing through those threads in 05-07 and then it continued at work. Popeye was posting a lot also. Him and He219 got me into doing those threads also.
I still have my google doc with all my sources.

No, a she was seeing a different moderator - WolverineBlue.
As an aside, I'm not on the facebook machine for a long time now but I occasionally sexually harass LAWB by text and he's all good.

As above, still in domestic bliss with WB.
A couple of marriages, a long term relationship, a nearly 10 year old girl, some of the good things to come out of the old mpnet.

Some archived threads from mp.net History section. Enjoy!
What if thread #1: A German Dieppe
I like playing "what if" as much as (if not more than) anyone at MP.net. I thought I might post this one to have a play with and see what people can come up with. It has been repeatedly shown that there was no hope of the German Operation SeaLion succeeding. Although some troops could be...

What if thread #2: D-Day Fails
A follow on to The Kiwi's Thread about a German Dieppe style raid - what might an alternate scenario about Operation Overlord look like? Without getting into too much detail about (I'm not writing a novel here) Hitler has a stroke in 1944, and the rest of his crowd (Goering, Goebbels...

What if the carriers were in Pearl Harbor Dec 7th?
Since the objective of the IJN attack at Pearl was to sink as many CVs as possible, what if there HAD been carriers there? Enterprise was the closest to PH; the Lexington was near Midway and Saratoga was on the West Coast; the Yorktown, Hornet and Ranger were still in the Atlantic...

Rethinking the start of WW2?
Well I've been thinking lately. It is agreed among historians that WW2 started on September 1st 1939 with the invasion of Poland. But can we say that the war actually start earlier, say around 1935 with the Italian invasion of Abysinnia? After that you had the Japanese Invasion of China (that...

Saved this 16 years ago, a reminder to never forget Poland.You forgot Poland?
You Forgot Poland
“You forgot Poland” is a popular catchphrase adopted by George W. Bush’s detractors to poke fun at his tactless rebuttal during the first debate of US Presidential elections in 2004. Since the rise of Bushism and related jokes in the mid-2000s, “You forgot Poland” has become one of the most...knowyourmeme.com
