last i can recall from the old forum was that KrunkedOut was going off to college and might not have extra cash for kava...and that good ol' Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, god of Tanna was dealing with a death or some family issue, although i'm not sure if that would still be the case after all this time.
I've noticed that people usually drop off temporarily when they stop drinking kava for a while or when the forum goes through a slow period, myself included.
