I do. Charley was his real name. He was a guy who lived in New York, fought the good fight against Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (with support from many here on City-Data) and won! He was a hospital administrator who also ran an online flea market more as a hobby than a business. That flea market finally closed in 2019 after almost 20 years. When he and his wife retired, he packed up and left for Delaware, a move he had planned for many years and he's been quietly enjoying the good life in "The First State". He also decided that with the change in location, and his enjoyment of places like Rehoboth Beach, a name change would be fitting - so he changed it to "Gone-2-Beach".
2goldens, I remember you and many others with fondness. My days on City-Data was largely good ones and many friendships are remembered in a most positive light.
My best to all who happen to read this little message.

I remember you from the cancer section. I am glad you are doing well.
Another MIA poster I miss is Just Zola. She moved from England to South Africa ( where she was born ) and started a IT business.Last post was in Feb, 2019.
Why not search internet service providers and IT programming companies in Africa. I believe you will find some results.
I miss Poncho_NM. Wonder if anyone knows how he is doing. Didn't post since end of February 2021.
Poncho is a good guy and was a good mod. I didn't realize he hadn't posted for a while.
Another poster missing for about that long is luzianne, a regular for many years in the Kansas City forum. She rather suddenly stopped posting February 5th. I've DM'd her and received no response. Does anyone know anything of her status?
When I first came to C-D I used to go to the Cozy Inn thread....the dominant personality in those days was a woman named "Puffle". She was always upbeat and welcoming. Somehow she fell afoul of a couple of other regulars and eventually I think she was on the outs with CD Administration and ''left". I felt badly about that, as she had always been very nice to me....I began to feel unwelcome in the Cozy Inn and moved on......I am glad I didnt leave C-D as I have had many years of enjoyment and met some great people.....there are some thorns among the roses....but C'est la vie.

Elston,
I found Puffle and her Happy Hour threads. It came back to me. There are members that I recall as well. I see ExLacey is in black font and a few other missing members too.
I'm concerned about rainroosty. He hasn't posted in nearly a week, which isn't like him. I know that he lives in an area that would have been hit by the storm, so I hope he's OK.
I know a lot of that part of the country lost power and it may be out for a month. I hope that's the only problem and he's okay.
