I am still around, though with so few participating I tend to forget about checking in.
I too am on Facebook, and now I solely post photos there rather than on open forums, which solved the problem of me going over our internet upload monthly capacity.
Since Facebook has become more popular I've noticed participation on my favorite sites with forums has really dropped.
I still keep in touch with several of the MSN Garden Junkers, and several have come to visit me in Montreal.
Live and learn, as it keeps life interesting!
