Jimmy Buffet Has Passed - Beyond Tiki

It was a post in General Tiki that went against what this site is about and was moved. This site was down for about three years. If the person who started it, Hanford, chose not to update the rules/about/criteria of this site to appease the current/modern 'take' on Tiki when the site was revived, then that was his choice. Sadly, the site was dying before the crash, when FB really became MUCH more popular. The site hasn't failed to gain back its traction because a thread that goes against the core principles of the site was moved to somewhere it really belongs. The site is (sadly) dead because those who used to frequent here may not be aware the the site is active again, and/or they've moved to Facebook and feel no need to be active here. (Without checking, i'm not even sure if Sven has posted here since the site was revived). The site is also dead because the current Tiki 'scene' is really just the Disney, and the "Tiki is whatever you want it to be", crowd, and neither of those have any interest in the history, or 'reason' of why this site exists. Jimmy Buffet has nothing to do with it. [ Edited by swizzle on 2023-09-08 06:01:17 ]
