He said "goodbye" in proxy.
Lol, I always suspected he was a troll alias for another member.
He was here long before you . I think he was banned before you got here.
I thought he assumed room temperature.
Wasn't there a @DorkGirl ? I always wondered if they were related...
There have been some good coin entertainers who provided free services here over the years. I miss so many.
that was the name that came to mind when i saw the title of this thread.
He had some good rants. Dorkkarl did not like slabs, and stickers would have pushed him over the edge.
Here is a classic thread from Clankeye, "I'm becoming Dorkkarl - pray for me" https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/comment/1242205#Comment_1242205

I was a member here 2003-2007 but under a different user ID. I would have reactivated the old one but I lost track of the email and password I last used.
Members come, and members go...
And some just peter out you know...
Others stay through thick and thin...
Peter out or peter in....

If he said goodbye when he left then we would not be left wondering.
I still think he was a troll alias. Back then the rules were definitely looser for the forums and several people certainly had alt IDs.
His last post was in August, 2009, on this thread:

His last appearance was in 2014. He may have been lurking for five years. Perhaps he is still lurking or has another identity?
Or not. My impression was that he was an older, crustier collector. He seemed very knowledgeable and highly opinionated, and I generally appreciated his input on various matters.
With time, we are all becoming Dorkkarl.
