I'm not surprised...he hadn't been very active lately.
Dave if you're reading this, I wish you'd have stayed.

That's a shame he left. Seems a lot have left, took a break, or cut down on how active they are on here recently.

I've sure lost interest in LG over the last few years but don't see a reason to quit. When I first joined, LG seemed like a small group of good friends. Not so much now.

Bummer...  :sadbulb:

Henry you've nailed it. This place used to be a small group of friends basically. Now it's more like a large auditorium filled with people. It's not worse, just a different atmosphere.

I stay because I've been here for so long, it's kinda cool. I'm not always active, in fact I didn't come at all between 2017 and 2021, and visit only sporadically ever since, but there's no plan to delete my account. It'll just go dormant if anything.

But it's sad to see members of several years go... Let's hope Dave will be OK...

What happened to some of the members that created this "friends" atmosphere, @Foxtronix ?

I know j-frog sadly passed. Where did Gearjammer, TudorWhiz, slaidblade, etc. go?

Everyone: Just saying that I’m back! Thanks y’all for the support!

No, I’m not leaving the hobby, but downsizing will make it easier to handle and enjoy it more. Mainly duplicates I’d like to share.
