I have always been hoping I would come across threads that explained why certain long-time members are no longer here.
duncvis
blasted
calandale (I kind of figured this one out but wasn't easy for a n00b)
lucifer
SovaNu
McMorrison
PurposefulInsanity
Willow
GalileoAce
Hadron
I run into their posts, or references to them, all the time and am left wondering WTF happened.
Lucifer, Duncs, Pea, Purposeful Insanity are all on DuncsDrivel
Sovanu (Milla/Lemon) and Cal and Carlotta are on Aspiechaos.
Both are good forums in their own right and in their own style.
Willow? Dunno she was from WP originally and left not so long after I got year but wasn't seeming to post a lot.
McMorrisson posts every few years and last time basically told us we had strayed from the path or whatever and his efforts an abysmal failure
