| What happened? I take 3 years off from the site to rake in some big $$$ and it seems the discussions and posts have dwindled considerably!?!? What's going on with everyone? Been a LONG time. |

| I did really enjoy the CD trading too. Where everyone made a mix Cd of their fav songs and sent it to 10 people and those 10 people sent u a CD. I discovered some really cool music that I still listen too. Is that still going on? |

| I thought the only thing that happened was Floop stopped posting. That must be 90% of forum activity accounted for. |

Kathryn and Homers Pet Monkey were fairly prolific too. I can confirm, however, that floop has left the rat race to concentrate on his love of taco photography.

I still lurk, just don't post that much. I think part of the reason is that I have a lot less free time these days with work, girlfriend, life in general etc. I'd guess similar for a lot of forum members.
It's a shame really since the output of The Man himself in recent years has been some of the most interesting and exciting of his career.

In other words you have a life - well done!!
You're right though it's lack of time and, in my case, getting old(er). And face it who wants to check out a forum full of decrepit old tossers? |

I reckon decrepit old tossers are underrated.
There are just so many sources for Black Francis related news these days. Before the pixies reunion and honeycomb it felt like this was the only place to get your fix on all FB related matters. |

I may be a tosser, but I take exception to decrepit.
I know for a fact that PixieSteve doesn't have a life, no idea what his excuse is.

| I wouldn’t dispute that, and If I’m going to rank my miserable existence then I would say it’s a bit lower than VoVat but a couple of rungs higher than Denis and Trobianders. |

Basically my interest in music has gravitated elsewhere since the Catholics split and the Pixies reunited. But I still check the forum once or twice a month.
That really sucks Floop stopped posting..by far one of my fave dudes. |

Ah I'm doing this on a couple of other forums. I imagine with the one FB connection it'd would have been great here. Was it confined to American users? |

Heheh, yes but it's good to know people like you (and most of the people in this thread) are still around and keeping an eye on things. The rest of you, thanks for keeping the lights on in here. Now we just need some new material to discuss and lots of it. Everyone come up with three interesting topics. Go!
OK, I've already failed.

1. European tour dates!
2. All Frank Black gigs should be free for FB.Net members (transport not included)
3. New Pixies album in 2012?
