I've been a member from the early days and although I don't post often I always browse. In 2001 CPF was, IMO, a funner place to hang around and the CPF community was tighter. I could browse all the forums in a short time and be caught up.
Over time the forums expanded and I looked at the Latest Threads and that was enough. Now if I do that I see tons of BST, Mod or Cafe topics and to be honest, I really don't share the same enthusiasm as others do. I just scroll to the Arc posts and look at the Dealer section or see what Quickbeam or Craig has reviewed. I'm not real happy with the larger CPF but I understand that as the forum grows larger these things will happen. Still, I liked it more then than now.
Perhaps Size15s can speak a little more but I really enjoyed lightlover and wish he'd return but I believe he hasn't posted for quite a long time for some of the same reasons.
I'm not leaving CPF and I'll continue to support it financially but it isn't the same CPF. I'm not growing tired of flashlights (just bought a SL Jr. Lux that I didn't need) but CPF no longer is the site I check first when logging on to the internet. I'm still the same but CPF isn't. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
