Here is the double secret inside scoop:
They stopped posting.
Perhaps they found something better to do. Perhaps they don't like the forums, the other mods or even me. I don't know: they didn't tell me. We can't force them to post though I miss both of them. They were never banned or asked to leave ScubaBoard, of that you can be certain. They are two wonderful people who are doing something different right now and the door is always open for them to return. May God bless both of them!
Personally, I think that Lynne has done a WONDERFUL job here. No, I don't think we need to personally verify that only "truth" has been posted. That being said, this IS a NO TROLL zone. If our DIR denizens believe a thread or post to be a troll, then it is. It should be gone. If an answer is part of the West Coast DIR crowd but not part of the WKPP DIR crowd then it can stay. This is not to eliminate controversy excepting that which pertains to the viability of DIR as an approach to diving. If you don't like the way DIR does it, then AVOID this forum.
