Question What ever happened to the Old Guys?

So I am an old timer here and was wondering what actually happened to all the old guys? I know some have moved on and don't post much anymore, but I want specifics and why? Did you sell your truck, have kids (lol one is on the way for me), TN burning holes in your pocket, work too much, to many kids on here (just asking), etc?

So here is the list of Old Timers (OG) that I can remember and I have saved for good measure. This list below is the guys who really made TN amazing, fun, helpful, and flat out hilarious -

PB2themax (PB) - "I'm still around. I still have my '05 taco. Still runs great, train horns 'n all. I have a growing side business that takes up a lot of my time. Anyway, I'm shopping for some new coilovers and front skid plate. Not sure what the latest greatest is anymore. If anybody wants to chat you can always email me. Pb@rckillswitch.com"
55Reasons - "sold Taco bought a loaded Tundra."
Boone -
eyedoc - "Has a baby that takes up a lot time...along with wifey!"
BigBlue - "got into a wreck and the truck ain't the same too many noises."
WilsontheDog - "Still has his truck post more on TW now. Biggest Arse on TW per his avatar..lol!"
Jeddak - "I still post from time to time. I sold my Taco past June."
LanNinja -
NorCalTacoma - "NorCalTacoma sold his Tacoma"
SinCityTaco -
Cam2Xrunner - "has other priorities in his life now"
toku58 - "decided family life was more important so he'll be gone for quite some time. He just had a kid with the wife and needed more family time."
turbos17 - "banned" (lol)
zmtnbik - "Still has his truck and post once in a while!"
AdventureNorth - "I think AdventureNorth sold his too"
Ronk44 -
05XRunner -
PiercedTiger -
dustin19d - "Doesn't check in often, busy @ Fort Knox."

I think this covers it all? If I am missing any please chim in. Most of you won't know most on this list, but I have been on TN since 2004/05 (and few know who I am ). You guys are awesome and missed.

Brian (toku) decided family life was more important so he'll be gone for quite some time. He just had a kid with the wife and needed more family time.

I still post from time to time. I sold my Taco past June. Made some money on the sale and bought a 2008 Kia Spectra instead. It is no truck, but it is paid for. Gas mileage is better too. 23 mpg around town.
Waiting for Toyota to bring D4D into the US. Once Mahindra starts selling selling here, I'll look into that too. I want a small 4 cylinder diesel truck.
