Since we’re on the subject. Anyone know what happened to Bigbench or DrIron? They were both on TSC back in the day and both just disappeared basically. Learned a lot from both of them. At different times. Bigbench first the DrIron. Bigbench was a moderator on TSC. Not sure if DrIron was. I know DrIron competed but not sure how well he did with that.
Bigbench was one of the 4 or 5 TSC Mods when I got there late 2009. Then all but
@Lurch left with no explanation that I'm aware of at about the same time 2 or so years later. I was asked to Mod sometime early 2012(?) ... my only Mod gig ever, which is how it
should be ... and probably an indication of just how desperate admin Zeus was at the time. Only Lurch remained, but he wasn't too active ... I used to joke that Lurch was probably
very active fielding pm's from other members asking why-tf
I'd been modulated, but that is probably only 99% true.
My memories of DrIron are hazier. Mighta been a member when I first arrived, not sure, but don't think he was a Mod that early(?) BUT, he was a Mod before I was, and it was stated he was a real licensed doctor, not just a typical boards handle, who was also one of us. Soon after a plan was announced to develop a legal "tele-medicine" type TSC lab that would be run by Zeus+DrIron and be like the privatemdlab many of us have used ... made possible by our licensed "DrIron." I remember that plan never went anywhere, but I don't remember why, or the timing.
I do remember you of course, Klu, and the reason for you changing an older handle to that ... a humorous reference to the Peter Sellers "Inspector Clouseau" character in the Pink Panther films. You and I overlapped on TSC, but I had become disenchanted and was halfway out the door, having discovered LK's Playhouse by 2013, while you were doing the same w/WCBB I guess.
To your original question, Klu, we see Lurch here occasionaly, but I have no
clue as to Zeus, Bigbench, DrIron, or the other tsc MIA's. Our community has a built-in natural attrition rate for several reasons I guess
