I was thinking we could use this thread to discuss which noteworthy posters whose posted content I found useful that are missing from this forum, and use that as a springboard for finding means to contact them and bring them over.

examples are:

bythesea

stacey

richard reihle

gant

joshua resnick

feel free to add to the list, those were the first to come to mind.

also some of them may have joined under other names, this thread would be a good place to clear that up as well.

I have contacted a few of the old guard via PM on the JF, I have so far only received 1 reply, which means that the PM's are probably working but those guys just don't visit the old forum anymore

I can't get into my inbox at all on the old forum. so I'd say the PMs used to work, but don't anymore. heck I can't even get the homepage to load anymore

Looks like we got Edbiology back ... welcome back Ed. Awesome job of randori last evening ... just wish a young guy like you could get in shape to stay up for the whole hour! Having said that, the sanninuchikomi was an excellent idea ... let's try to get others involved?

I believe Steve L has been having difficulty signing up, but hopefully will be along shortly.

I know, that's what drew him in from across the cyber ether.

Stacey's my friend on Facebook, sometimes we chat. I will go get her right now.

ok, apparently there's already a "stacey" registered on this forum. that person is not me (i tried registering "stacey" but it told me the name was already in use).

i'm not able to get into my old account at the JF, so i don't go there at all anymore. that also means i can't accept pms from the JF, not that a notification of a pm or email to my jf account was ever sent to me, but i do appreciate the sentiment.

i can try to contact a few people from the jf who are friends through other venues, and we can see what happens

interesting idea. do hope that if this iteration takes off, it doesn't get sold to the new owners/destroyers of the old jf.

now, what did i miss? i noticed billc already started a thread on judo underpants, so my contributions may be limited

With my dizzying technical skills changed your name back to Stacey - hope this is OK - can change it back if you want !

I do hope the person who took my name doesn't mind.... i'm happy with "stacey" - it's what i've grown used to over the last ** years....

You could always consider 'Rubberchicken476' instead ...

It was glitch - there was no other Stacey on the databank - some weird registration error a few people have experienced

I did give it a thought..........

but "stacey" works fine for me, glitches and all

I'm enjoying the new avatars I'm seeing around. CK, I see you've finally figured out the... well, the cover of your book. how's the rest of it looking?
