Where are they now?

Thought of Sybil today, and wondered whatever happened to her. Then I realized there are others that seem to have abandoned us as well. Anyone know what happened to these shoppers?

Coffee Queen writes daily, as for the rest, many more have left..I do think Sybil "may" have been kicked to the curb, the others mentioned, guess found other things to do, but can't remember their names.

How about
MDavisnowell - really nice lady. Wonder her her book is doing
AustinMom - another really nice lady
GypsyMonkey - and her forever quest to find her dream truck
IMTrashman - goes back 5 years but his really funny sense of humor is missed

ParkCityBrian got suspended I think, he could have asked for reinstatement but didn't. Sybil also. Pretty sure Cettie got booted as well.

LisaSTL is probably just taking a break.

Flash was gone for a long time and then came back s few months ago. I noticed MA Smith was back very recently, too.

What happened to Ninja?

LisaSTL pops in every so often.

Sybil was toxic.

Austinmom is alive and well, but enjoying retirement, I think.

Cettie got booted???? I loved reading about her escapades, both on this Forum and on its predecessor!! She referred to herself as the Queen of the something-or-other, I can't quite remember.

Yes, Cettie got booted, and for a major issue. I miss her adventures, but, unfortunately, she really crossed a serious boundary.

OK, thanks, Wales. I miss her adventures, too!

They are easy going, so it takes a lot to get "booted". May use different name's and return under another alias,
hate when that happens.

Sometimes, yes, but she was often entertaining.

January 18, 2020 09:51PM

She was abrasive at times, but yes, entertaining.

I'm guessing you mean misogynist sexist pig and not mystery shopping provider, LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Actually I mentally mis-spelled chauvinist and it should have been MCP (male chauvinist pig) but misogynist sexist pig seems to be the same thing.

She did something way worse. As wales said, she crossed a personal boundary line and posted private info about one of the forum members if I recall.

Oh yeah, Sybil. I was trying to remember her name a while ago. She was quite full of herself and could be offensive, but her posts were humorous sometimes. I never realized Cettie was gone. Too bad. I enjoyed her posts as well. I was recently wondering about LisaSTL too. Hope things are ok with her.

Does anyway from years ago (think "V") remember a frequent poster whose name was also Lisa I think who lost her eyesight and could no longer shop? I wonder how she is.

Ah, Sybil. I've always wanted to meet her in person. She's by far the most vain shopper I've ever read about with her lucrative shopping experiences wind sailing at a tropical excursion or whatever other boujee experiences she liked humble bragging about.

Very infrequently shopping the Greater Denver Area, Colorado Springs and in-between in Colorado these days.

January 20, 2020 02:08AM

I miss BBird0701. I think one of her last post's she said she was pregnant. Perhaps that's why she stopped posting but she had a lot of good contributions. Remember that shop she had where the bartender went ballistic on her or something? Scary.

January 20, 2020 02:40AM

Yes Sybil. She made a sarcastic remark to me and I blocked her. I got tired of her stories about being booked a solid 4 months in advance but it did make for interesting reading at times.

You can't be serious! Why would she do something like that?

She's the one who showed me how to successfully negotiate bonuses with MFI. Iwill always appreciate her for that.

I haven't seen him since he made some ludicrous posts a few months back and got slammed by forum members.

Honny,
Many of us have reasons to like and admire Cettie. But, there was no way for her to return after what she did.

I believe that he was either moderated or banished. He was gone for a few months, showed up once with a new post (reasonable), and commented that he was surprised that it had been allowed. He has been gone again now for a month.

wales, I liked and respected her. I missed the offending post. Hopefully, it wasn't up for very long. She had to be really mad at someone to go to that extreme.

Oh please, Cettie was a moderator and feeding private information about people to Sybil and others for years. She just made the mistake of saying something publicly and it got her banned. I'm sorry but she was not the wonderful person some thought she was. There have been insinuations by some that she is behind some of the troll accounts that have popped up since, but I have not proof of that and no clue if it's true or not.

Sybil also got banned slightly before and several others were given reprimands all for abusing the downvote system and sharing private information among themselves feed to them by Cettie. I am going to assume the other moderators were not involved. Several of the people mentioned in this thread were involved and just chose to not come back or come back sporadically after being reprimanded.
