Probably a lot more than that have gone now, vannin.
When Rowan took over the day to day running of the forum and was instrumental in making it what it is now, and then sadly died too young, I had always intended that it would remain as it was for as long as I lived. In fact I promised her that her Rowans would be her legacy, which is why, when I set up the Rowan Tree Forum Memorial Grove in her memory, I put the link to the Grove on the header of the Forum, and why when I pruned the Anything Goes forum, I didn't delete the posts, but put them all in an Archive at the bottom of the forum...an archive to be used, if necessary, in the future.
But I suppose I can't expect people who joined the forum after Eve's death to know the background of it, and understand why I am so reluctant to completely revanp the forum and change it materially from what it is currently...which is the way Eve wanted it.
