Ha...I was going to make a thread like this but never did...hopefully we can lure some of the older members back to make a cameo appearance...speaking of, where did 'Cameo' go? He was a good bloke and had those great photo diary/stories.
Johnny has gone quiet on here, but I've seen him lurking around on a graffiti forum we both frequent...I'm sure he'll pop up some time.
People I wonder about:
Sawtell: Disappointed he doesn't seem to come on anymore, will track him down when I move back to Melbourne and command him to come back.
Rik: Most prolific poster I'm pretty sure? He had plenty of interesting stuff to say.
Christo: Back when the fixie thread was trendy we had some good arguments.
JustinFox: Had a good argument with him that got me banned for a month, but his build threads were always a good read and he made plenty of good posts.
Xmetal: Speaking of posting pics, who could forget Xmetal?
That annoying guy Kenny: Surely he's given up by now.
I think in general the Off Topic section (the only place I really frequent now) is less interesting than it used to be (due to a lot of regular senior members disappearing)...and as I understand it a few years before I joined it was even better when it ran more like a chat room between mates.
The best thing about this forum (and the reason I always come back) is the diversity of the members. People of all ages backgrounds and interests besides MTB creates an interesting environment that always produces something worth looking at.
