MIA Friends - Great skinners, where are they now?

MIA Friends - Great skinners, where are they now?

Can you think of people who used to be around more that aren't around anymore? Where are they? Where have they gone?

Here's a few that come to the top of my head:

Crumbut
Dangeruss (still around but I miss his regular presence)
DAK
Shawn Murdock
John Folden
Morphh
Mercury
Scratch (still kind of around but not as much, miss him too)

These are guys who really made a big difference in the course of skinning. They don't get nearly the kudos they deserve since they were at their height when "the community" was very small still.

Here's his webpage http://www.moppy.co.uk/index.shtml
He has an email link on there. I've emailed him so we'll see.

Vendicator is still active, his main focus is coding now. he was part of the IndieStep development team for a while and has done some great LS modules as dynamp (Winamp 2/3 remote controls) and wndman (window management).

Fathom is around, he hangs out on deskmod quite a bit, and I saw him on deviantART a few months back - not sure what he's up to lately though.

I mailed Rich (Webmassa) last week, Kevin. Never got a reply though
Been over 2 years since anyone heard from him, although I hear he did pop his head in here round about Xmas time there.

I'm not missing manni. It just takes me about a year to create a skin.
