can't speak for all (like hop, dean, anyman, perambulator, and host of others that are all long gone) but i still look in once in a while

sadly, amaranth, kate, and some others chose to change the format long ago; that change in format along with the utterly vacuous, lame postings extending back almost to that time...well, i can only say that i have not even been a little bit inspired to post or offer a response (until this call for reunion, of course) for many years

who knows, perhaps your appeal will reach some...nothing wrong with trying

i would imagine that at least some still lurk, as do i, from time to time in memory of the days when this site was one of the hottest, most intellectually stimulating (most of us could handle the flaming on the side that sometimes generated [or degenerated into] more heat than light), informative, educational, and just plain fun boards/fora on the entire internet

hope that reunion thing works out for you
