Who is not here yet ? First of all, apologies to members that are in fact new to this backpacker forum. Past versions of this forum (the one before this excluded) were a tremendous source of information for skills, equipment, destinations and general knowledge relating to (the north American style of) backpacking. Previous membership here totaled hundreds of years of backpacking experience. It was a great resource for novices to learn and for experienced individuals to get better at what we do (Love).
Unfortunately, with this most recent software change, we have lost years of valuable history. We have a lot of rebuilding to do. Much of the old team has checked already, but:
Who is not here yet, and why ? Off the top of my head we are missing:
Bateauxdriver BoomerHiker Brownmouse CGapHiker Cowgiano Dicentra Doublecabin Fifeplayer Firedancer Footloose Fourwheelbob Gakayaker Hikerchick395 Hikernks Hikin’Mike JD_TREX Jimmbo Johnhens Ldyblade Lizsbaby Lonesomegeorge Lorax Lostone Lostsheep Mississippi Rob Mommasgonehiking MrsKatieBear Panama Rob Ponderosa
Please feel free to add to this list, and if it is in your power, get the word out to the missing ‘old timers’. We have got A LOT of rebuilding to do here.

Wholly Chili Peppers, reddog, where do you keep your files on BP members? It's better than what I'm sifting through at HQ's datadump! But as a fact, I have asked HQ Dennis if there is a way to notify the "membership". I figure if they can send out letters about winning the lottery, there might be a way to do this.
I have notified people as I look over the old forums and spot names, look them up (tee-dee-us!) and fire of an email. I have sent out many, have seen most show up here, and am watching for 4shjeelbob abd Double Cabin to respond. But your list is impressive, so I guess I'll put on my hardhat and head back into the basement for more sifting.
Oh, and my hope is that the crud forum will be revived to at least allow linking back for a look-see and a working search engine, but closed to new posting. That would be neat.

I posted that list on FB group, with as many real names as I knew. Hoping to get the word out to those who have missed out. LMG will know a few that I don't.

That would be neat Steve, but "working" is an necessary operative for the search engine.
The list wasn't that difficult, mostly these are the Facebook defectors that haven't checked in yet. I'm sure I left a ton of people off the list that should be on it, so once again everyone, "Spread the Word"

A lot of those people became rather inactive before the forum crashed and burned. Glad to see Sarbar reconsidered and came back.
