Interesting question.  He was last active on the site on December 24, 2018, according to the member web page.

It seems we lose a few members every year, sometimes for a while, sometimes permanently.

Another is No-San.  I haven’t seen him on the site in over a year, or so it seems to me.

No-san was pretty tied up with work, the last I heard. I'm pretty sure that he was getting sick of being badgered too.

He's pretty busy with work & helping out his buddy who inherited the Buick, who's going through some health issues. I hear from him now & then. He was in Ottawa back in late July, but we never gotta chance to catch up for a beer.

Our friend LowerLevel (Den) with the heart problems never logged back in after his surgery a few years ago.  I often wonder what happened to him.

Yeah, I think he was in Owen Sound, but nobody knew him IRL.   

Sadly, I can only assume what happened.

What about that other guy....who used to have the remote control boats and frequently posted about his DVD purchases and interesting models and sci-fi toys?

I forget his name now...but did try contacting him after he didn't turn up for a bit...but was unsuccessful.

Dexer wasn't it? IIRC, he had some health issues, although I can't recall what they were.

Too bad Northernridge and SaskspecV don't post any more either.  I routinely don't post for weeks at a time, but I'll still pop in every so often.
