I'm not sure who is worried they were left out of what.

In my case it comes from this morning's "Thanks Qgil" thread :

...where everyone (including you and your sauna fetish :-) sounds ecstatic about yesterday's IRC chat about MeeGo. I personally never use IRC, so in such cases I usually just take a peek at the logs to see what the fuss is about.

Only this time there were just a few lines about qgil signing in and then everyone leaving off to the #meego channel, for which there is no log of that session.

So it's a mix of actual frustration at feeling taunted (very unintentionally, of course) and joking reference at johnx's "parting words", as Benny explained.

For those who read SF, this must be how the last humans on Earth will feel when all the rest have upgraded to posthuman status after the Discontinuity :-)
