She's at OWR. It's a new board, about a year old, specializing (more or less) in IndyCar. Jag is right, she's a mod but almost never posts.Quote:

Btw even the mighty ArrowsFA1 has disappeared :(
That's terrible. I suppose its nice that his sister let you all know rather than just having the unknown.Quote:

A shame because he is one of the more knowledgeable and decent posters here and hopefully everything is ok and we'll see him back on here soon.Quote:

There are posters who post very little in comparison to what they used to as well. Dave B pops up occasionally but not daily. It might well be because F1 just isn't as exciting any more and the disappearance of certain people encourages the disappearance of others perhaps? Or people are simply following other interests in their lives.
DaveB has a new child to deal with, so his priorities are different now. He even skipped watching Canadian qualifying! Almost made the national news that one ;)Quote:

Also Fred Bassett. He is the only member of the forum (besides my brother damg75) that I have actually met in person when he was first exploring moving to the US. He owns an inn somewhere up in the Northeast now (Maine, if I remember correctly).
I can't believe I have been here for almost 12 years now :eek:
I have found it challenging to keep on with the forum from time to time over the years-with my crazy work schedule and all of that.
Time flies when you're having fun! :DQuote:

I don't think I've met but one member in person (that I know of), and that one has been gone from the board a long time. BoilerIMS moved to my area a couple years ago and I invited him to come to the local track, but marriage and a new job got in the way. Haven't heard from him in a long time.
