How about a naming contest for like a mug or something. :wink: I kid... I can't help it...

There are probably lots of reasons for the slow down MM; holidays, politics, people moving on to the next thing etc etc. I still dig tiki as much as ever but finding the time to keep up with everything and everyone on TC as well as regular life really tough. Throw in the trials of everday livin' and it gets to be next to impossible.
I don't post nearly as much as I used to either for several reasons. Some partly due to comments made on the flaming posts, but mostly I dont post because of not having anything new to add to the threads and time restraints. I still hang out in bilge and post frequently because some very clever and funny stuff pops up and there is a little more of a light hearted attitude down below. Also, I don't have to think about if my post or comments are not tiki enough or on topic. I still browse the other TC forums regularly and when I come across something of interest I check it out. I still keep up with a lot of TC peeps via the other means like the phone, events and gatherings (both tiki and un,) email, IM, myspace, smoke signals, blogs and my own tasty brand of spam.
Tiki Central still remains one of my favorite groups to be a part of and some of the folks I have met here have become really great friends. I don't think the passion for tiki and the friendships made from meeting fellow tiki aficionados both on TC and at events has slowed down. The tiki scene and TC are continue to get bigger and it keeps morphin' all the time just like everything else around us.

It will be interesting to see how it all keeps evolving.
