Shrink really classed up this board. He helped set a respectful tone which I think persists to this day. Front Range and the Pellies are still with us but don't post anymore. They, too, brought a warm, respectful positivity to the board.
For most posters, Carter was a difficult guy to get along with, I'll be the first to admit. But we got on really well. (I'm guessing that only Glov can say the same.)

Bayline. Think he passed not long after getting married/engaged. Car wreck IIRC.
Yes. MaryAnn collected for flowers.
I’m going with Carol1, CheeseLion and Shrink
Craig Bowman (Wyatts Dad). He and I were putting together a fly fishing weekend for the board years back and he was tragically hit by a semi on 80 if I remember correctly
I feel badly because I can't remember the handle of the guy who posted that he had late stage liver cancer and just wanted before he passed to see a positive resolution for Joe's legacy. Never felt sorry for himself and struck me as being very courageous. Anyone remember?
I too am afraid I forgot his handle, and thought it was stomach cancer but I'm not certain. Guy seemed to be facing it with courage.
Prayers offered to all those who have gone ahead.
Whoa. I don't visit this board the way I used to but I missed this. Carol? When?
She was great. Some guys used to get on her for her Judy from Muncy-ish everything is roses schtick but you could tell that her heart was in the right place.
CBOTKevin* was another good poster who was taken way too young. Also known as Fun_160 and PennStateClips, from his personally sponsored Penn State Blog.
He ran his own Penn State Blog and hosted other Penn State chat activities. He was an early member of TomMcA’s plotit group.
He attended a number of PSU sporting events via his Media Pass. He then provided some well appreciated feedback and clever writing for fans from the front lines of events.
RIP Kevin Stone, CBOTKevin / Fun_160!
* CBOTKevin / Fun_160 was a math wiz who loved Penn State, Joe Paterno and the Grand Experiment. CBOT stood for Chicago Board of Trade, where he traded commodities and foreign currencies, including through his own company. He also worked for a time on the NY Stock exchange. Gone too soon, but not forgotten!

BigNitAttack - Anyone remember him? He was from my hometown - Windber, but I never met him that I know of.
Gone through other screen names, but I think he's still around, now as Ten Thousan Marbles, and posts on Test Board frequently.
LesFromMaine died????? Sorry to hear that. When did that happen?
I knew about most of the others except BigNitAttack. Had many a battle with him on the test board in the old days. If he is now TenThousandMarbles, that would explain a lot. : ^ )
Yeah Mumbles is nuts. Les left us a while back and when I asked someone mentioned that he may have died. Who knows. But that was at least 10 years ago.
Fun, one of the more prolific posters here, passed away.

Good call LionDeNittany!
Added the board name “Fun_160” to an earlier post about “CBOTKevin” and “PennStateClips.”
Each represented Kevin Stone, a brilliant math wiz and a strong advocate for Penn State, Joe Paterno and The Grand Experiment.
Kevin Stone passed away way too young, in his early 50s. Likely from a sudden fatal heart disruption that had a genetic foundation, as his father passed in the same way at roughly the same age.
Yes, that's correct. But Fun_160 was his most common name, or his standard handle. I forgot about the other two. Great guy.

Not one of our own, but I miss the annual visits and tall tales from King Ad Buck. Also the guy from Indiana U and a woman Wolverine. Quality visitors.
Doesn’t RutgersAl still post here? Saw a pic of him over at the Rutgers site. Not what I expected.
There was a poster from California that passed about a year ago. Another poster that knew him said he had been on Shark Tank with a packaging product that his family was still trying to develop.
Saw a rerun a couple months ago with a Cali couple and a unique pizza box. Wonder if that was he and how it was going in his absence.

What ever happened to the Pelly family? PennStatePelly and PSU Pelly - father and son. Met the son at a game once.
I once mistakingly posted that Senior had passed and Junior came on and corrected me. One of my favorite posters, Junior.
Wow, that's a blast from the past. I think that in the end he couldn't reconcile himself to the fact that this was a PSU forum and couldn't deal with the partisanship that came with it.
Lester Diamond --- he's not dead. He just retired on top.
He made a post here about how Anthony Morelli wanted to transfer to IU. According to Lester Diamond, sources in the IU athletic department were saying that Morelli wanted the opportunity to play for the "point-a-minute offense" of the Hoosiers, and viewed IU as a place where he could win "multiple Heismans."
Obvious satire. Except for the fact that the beat reporter for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review actually included that rumor in an actual news story! And then Morelli had to defuse the rumor!
Hard to beat that.
