Why aren't the older members still active ?


Just curious who is still very active from 2000 and earlier
on this site? I don't get on very often. I guess I have no opinions or my interest lies elsewhere. I remember in the early 2000s there seemed more interesting and heated topics then now. I cannot even get a rise out of anybody for saying "the Beatles where the worse group ever". I think somebody replied " I am a moron" without stating why he thought they were good. I started a thread in Music: Garage Band Hangover, about a website called Garage Hangover, but like 2 people responded. Some of my favs haven't been on in 3 even 5 years. So why is that?

Maybe on top of newness gone and economy many just reached their goal or figured its just never perfect so quit fussing? Lets be honest new gear comes and goes but its seldom truely groundbreaking and after alot of exposure you just sort if see the more things change the more they seem the same.

I miss Sean too Albert. Let's hope he got married, or has a nice girlfriend who preoccupies his time. I hope nothing bad has become of him...or any of the guys from the past.

Agreed, Sean was the first that came to mind, we had quite a few conversations via email and phone outside the forums. A bright guy grounded in engineering and electronic principles and pretty much zero BS.

There are others, too many to name, but here's a few I have from my list, sorry if it includes some that may still be active or have popped up recently:

See any names you remember and wonder what happened to them?

Albert: Yes, although to be fair a few, such as Elizabeth, Russ and Dan, haven't really left from what I can see. But I don't look (lurk?) very often, I was lucky to find this thread. (Also can't forget that crazy diamond Psychicanimal, who I stopped hearing from several years ago.)
Thanks for the list, Albert!

I compiled a list, but it was woefully short next to yours. I'd like to add Brulee, Gthirteen, Natalie, and Leafs.

Isn't Kelly (Cornfedboy) on the other side of the curtain here at Audiogon? Or, has that relationship run its course?

Carl Eberhart and I stayed in contact for a while, but when his e-mail address changed, I was no longer able to write to him. If anyone can shoot that over to me, I'd appreciate it.

I saw Russ (Rcprince) a month ago, and it looks like I'll see him again in two weeks. He's doing quite well, and still posts here at times.
