I honestly cannot believe I just read this:

Likewise, I'm incredibly appreciative of what Humuhumu has done to help turn tiki into a "thing" again—and the fact that people are still visiting those websites, even though they're not being actively developed, is a statement to their usefulness. But outwardly, there's not much sign she's still into tiki:
- Her personal tiki news blog (linked from her website at humuhumu.com) is gone: http://humukontiki.com
- Critiki.com hasn't worked for over a year as far as I can tell
- Ooga-Mooga was due for an update (her words) in April, 2012
- The last time the word tiki appeared on her personal blog at trottomatic.com was in July of 2013
- Her last post here on TC was in April of 2012
This is not a condemnation of Humuhumu in any way. It's merely an observation that her commitment to her tiki projects has seemingly ended, and it might be time for someone else to take up where she left off.
Talk about one hell of a "tacky" post!
Rick thank you for writing this ....nice to see some class!

Sigh!
If you want to help, I think that's great, but there are ways to contact the woman, without "calling her out" on TC. Plenty of her friends are still on here. Ask one of them if they can contact her for you or just continue with your Tikipedia, which is a great idea. Humu is a much beloved member of the Tiki community & you are sure to ruffle feathers if you are not respectful & tactful. Oh, and, by the way, your detective skills need work. She was at Trader Vic's last night & Smuggler's Cove on Tuesday. She is still very much "into" Tiki.
Come back and visit but this time up in NorCal--you have to see Trader Vic's in Emeryville my friend!
