Any "Old Timers" Here Anymore?

It's been a while and I thought I'd check out the good ol' WF. I see lots of new faces but none of the old timers (BigMike, Drmani, Paul Myers, John Taylor, Steve Wagenhiem..., etc, etc, etc).


I guess it's a new neighborhood, huh?

    Some are, some aren't. The place definitely does have a different feel to it. I haven't been around much lately myself, so can't really gauge if it's a good different or a bad different (to me). I do miss seeing some of the old faces when I do pop in though.

    Do I qualify? Paul was in and out a lot until just recently. Steve one time that I know of recently. The others you mentioned I haven't seen.

    Big Mike has been in on a couple recent threads. Steve W. is concentrating on his music and isn't very active here. Kurt is very active. Willie posts every so often. Paul has been AWOL for a month or two. Haven't seen John in a long time. And George Wright shows up when anyone mentions the good old days.

    The place has certainly changed. Without Alexa here, it is definitely quieter. I think it all changed when the new management took over.

        You can say that about the MF also, but that's not because of a lack of people it's more because of a absense of grey matter....

    Well, I'm still here, but I ain't old.

    Ok, maybe I AM old.

    From where I sit, it's nothing like the "good old days" - even before the new management took over. I agree it's more about the absence of grey matter.

    It seems like now you are an "old timer" and a "minority" if you have a join date before 2014.

        I know!

        I miss him. He always made me laugh and always had my back.

        He worked miracles too. No, really!

        He actually got me to like Country Music. Well, some of it, lol!

          I think he simply switched to Facebook. He posts there a lot. He's more colorful over there...

            And then there's Thom...

            I really miss his shiny metal a$$.

            And I haven't seen Dennis either.

            He was my brother from a different dimension.

            Sigh...
