Mr. Julio is still around, he is busy with other things. He had a webpage up, I can't find the link in my folder.
I can't speak for him, or Jim (aka Modboy) but as a long standing / participating member like myself, how many times can you go around discussing the same subject? 99% of the time topics are rehashing the same old, same old. It's quite understandable that most people will get bored and quietly excuse themselves from forum activity.
It kinda sucks that the old forum archive is no longer available; lots of worthwhile G45 information is now 'gone with the wind'.
