I would imagine our previous community of folks are pretty much scattered to the wind. Shame really. Collectively the group as a whole was engaging, generating thoughtful discussions and debates, allowing all to challenge preconceived notions and at times think outside the box.
Welcome aboard. I hope you check in often and find a home here to share your thoughts and idea's.
I think most are doing like me - still checking in. Probably inspired by wishful thinking. The SA Powers That Be evidently thought the Chat would keep everyone together and that's fallen flat. They may be trying to come up with a Plan B. Dunno.
Anyway, I'm familiar with this format and with retirement coming (more time) will likely stick around even if SA is rescued somehow. Silicon Investor's format drives me nuts whenever I visit despite some strong contributors.
Yes, I cut my teeth on usenet in the early 90's but also some discussion boards around that time. That is VERY early BBS software. Heck, what's in use here first came out in the early 2000's IIRC.
