That's the core of my beef here, ASDC was one of the few sites left where you could talk to those people.
But I did not see you talking to these people the last few months. Not even in the shoutbox.
I don't think I saw people posting in that shoutbox that often in general, let alone engaging in full conversations. 
A handful of people was around, till the end. Either in posts or in the shoutbox.
Pappy was not one of them, had not been around for a long time. And now he cries it is gone.
He was not around to try keeping it alive.
So, his cries are meaningless. But his sorrow is inconsolable, no doubt.
