Thought I'd start a thread with a bit of nostalgia for those of us who have been on EPZ for a while. Smile

So many contributors no longer seem to be around. Sadly some have passed on but others simply don't come here any more and are missed.

I'll start with the founder of the site: Pete (Peter Bargh). He hasn't logged on since last August. Anyone know what he's up to these days?

And who do you remember, who no longer visits EPZ?

Pete is enjoying his retirement and mostly walking in Derbyshire judging by what he puts on Facebook Smile

I've seen Pete's FB page - including the rather revealing pic he uploaded there! 😱😊 Just seemed a bit strange he longer visits his "baby" - this site.

So many other prolific contributors also spring to mind from my early days on here: SuziBlue, Macroman etc. Not to mention StrayCat (Denny) and the like.

I am usually so busy with wedding (last 6 months have been crazy) that this is the time I can get back to EPZ. Sad not to see any posts from Adrain Wilson (AKA Ade McFade) for a long time. He is such an amazing photographer but I expect he is also extremely busy with his studio work.

Denny (StrayCat) and I were in constant touch via email for a long time.
We exchanged e-books; I have a folder containing hundreds that he sent me along with photographs, which we'd discuss.
He even sent me some of his favourite recipies.
It all dried up quite a while ago.
Another that's disappeared is 'Strokebloke.'
He and I became friends in real life and went out a couple of times.
As with Denny, communication ceased.
I rather fear the worst for both of them.

Thanks Brian but I'm denied the use of private messaging.

There is however, a 'contact me' page on my nowhere-near-finished website if you wouldn't mind using that.

Yes Chris_L disappeared suddenly. He was very active on the forum but hasn't visited for best part of 2 years. You do wonder what has happened.
