If you wanna get all technical, think back to those who have posted the "meat" here and see if they are still active. Ask them what happened.

There is a small minority who go the extra mile and add major content to TC. They need to keep doing that and more people need to get on board.

Excellent point Swanky. Perfect example, how many of 'old timers' have posted to this thread, a few, but that's it.

In the interest of offering up a concrete suggestion to the original query of the post, here's an idea. Tragically, Stoopid Shutterfly wonked up all the links to old images (Hanford added the ability to host images here on TC partially in response to this). When those image links died, we lost a ton of really fantastic visual information. A concerted effort to replace those images would be awesome.

The lost images due to Shutterfly was a major blow. ALL of the classic posts are now just a shadow of what they were originally. Relinking those photos is a daunting task. I always posted lots of pics with my posts (everything from pics of my explorations of tiki apartment complexes, items from my postcard collection, etc...). I started to relink my old Shutterfly photos onto the TC server several months ago when I originally discovered the problem. However, I currently have 391 pics that need to be relinked. That's a hell of a lot or work, and frankly, I don't know if it's worth the effort. It will only replace a small shadow of what was lost.
