Where are they now?

[Mobyduck]

I am sure Iv'e seen a similar thread on here before ,but can't find it, looking through some old threads it struck me that quite a few names from the past some quite a while ago and before my time here, but also some more recent have been conspicuous by there absence,I wonder what happened to make them disappear from these pages, some just move on to other things I suppose, and hopefully nothing more sinister than that, but Some just vanish without explanation, I am just curious. Here are some names from the past.
Filo, arkwrite, Hopwas, Running Dog, Eddie 86. Spinko, Arthurish, and a couple of more recent absentees, Millay and Paul Of Horsham.
Anybody know what they are up to now?

arkwrite and Running Dog were/are a couple of old boys who both had health problems , i know arkwrite had trouble with internet connections after his wife passed on and he had to move .
Eddie86 was doing a Brewing course last i heard , his family run a pub(or did) in Hay on Wye .
Hoppy(Hopwas) was the most active poster on here for years , but when it got popular he lost intrest .

Thanks Oggy, I nearly put your name on the list but knew you were still about as you were still reviewing.

The thing is Moby, rural North Yorkshire is a very different beast to the big urban centres. It often feels like Theakston's and Black Sheep have every pub in every village tied up. They're not semi-jokingly called the 'Yorkshire mafia' for nothing.


Spinko, one of Quinno's old uni crowd, used to post regularly when he lived in Leeds. (However, for some reason he stopped when he moved over the Pennines, to Manchester). It used to amuse 'old boots' and me no end that he'd bought a flat opposite Tetley's brewery (RIP) and used to complain about the noise!

North Yorkshire is not alone, try South Hampshire, Fullers [ex Gales] wall to wall mostly, at least it is not Brickwoods

It seems to be the same on most forums.I have noticed over the years that camra forums,ratebeer forums,pug, beer advocate and bite forums only have about 10-20 regular posters.Even the hundreds of beer blogs if you look at the comments are the same few people commenting.I suppose there is only so much you can say before you start repeating yourself,repeating yourself. cheers

I thought there was a theory that the rise of Facebook and Twitter are partly to blame.
