Loosing all those historical pictures just impacts so many historically interested people.

Here's the challenge..... Somehow, maybe people can make an outreach to these folks and ask them to reconsider a return ASAP. "Life it too short but it is the longest thing you will ever do". Make the most of it and COME BACK...please !!!!! There can be some real good from this thread on top of the fun of knowing what the background was for name creation!!
Don't forget Hillcountry, Major, Cal Coon, etc.

I've talked to most of these people behind the scenes, and the common tone is that the forum has much more drama than in the past and often loses its way.

I have pointed this out in some posts of my own where people have made an issue out of "offensive" language, "repetitive" posts, etc.

What's worse is that when these things happen, the supporters often remain silent—we saw it with Joey a few weeks ago and I've got PMs from people who have been "with me" but don't post publicly because they don't want to get involved in the drama.

The result for some people, then, is to walk away when the frustration outweighs the value.
