I thought he was in Thailand, not that it matters much.

You're right, checked his FB page, he's in Bangkok

There's that Ronny Stark (sp?) guy with the statue boutique hotel. That's perfect for all of us to stay in

Be interesting to see what the forum and hobby was like that first year. Attitudes, pieces, etc.

Not on here as much as i used to be. Life happens. But i am enjoying coming back and contributing more. I have noticed a lot of the original crew are no longer posting which is a shame.

Life happens, yes. It can be hard to keep the fires in life burning.

Also, the hobby/industry is quite different, mainly in prices to income ratio and a deluge of products. A lot of the self-regulators that kept this stuff more niche and significant have been broken.
Collectors have always overextended themselves, but it seems to have gotten to if not a breaking point, a souring point, for many.

Not original crew (I don't think...) - but Atheris popped into my head a couple weeks ago. Was wondering if he picked up LBS Hulk.

After a couple decades,
I'm starting to take earlier products off display to make room, the new stuff just blows some of them away. Thankfully my finances are not what they were back then. Some advantages to ageing.

But yeah....
