Lots of familiar names. Hope all is well with them. It’s hard to look back 20 years and think about how much smaller and simpler the Internet was then.

I was happy to see @Stranger_On_A_Train return this spring after a long hiatus, haven’t seen any activity from him since the migration, I hope all is well.

I used to enjoy his posts but eventually came to feel that his gift was never losing an argument even when he was wrong.

I was wondering about him also, Pool. I hope he’s ok.

I miss so many folks. Just a couple more off the top of my head.

I’m not sure if I have those typed completely correctly.

I have been in communication with **Eve** and she says “Hello!” I wrote an email to her today about the passing of Olivia de Havilland. She was so proud to have met her in Paris. **Eve** says she is just finishing up a book on Jayne Mansfield, and is planning on starting a book about Lupe Velez.

I’m proud to have an autographed copy of her book on John Gilbert. I miss **Eve** here

I reached out to Cecil. He told me that after he took the buyout he signed some sort of agreement that would not permit him back on the site. He said that he does have a couple of socks that he uses occasionally, but he hasn’t activated them since the move over.

Is VT really gone? I’ve been hoping it wasn’t true, but if so, I call it a crushing loss.

Oh. Hi. Yeah, I check in every so often but honestly a mix of misogyny and…I don’t honestly remember exactly what it was, but something about not being able to use the word fuck? I dunno. I just remember i got really pissed off at the administration of the board and then Facebook started drawing more of my attention, and then life happened and I suddenly looked around and realized it had been a minute.

So many names here I miss. I’ll add Askia. Always.
