The forum Where are they now? Thread.

Post by Zonda_ »

I was browsing the movie thread for inspiration and lots of old names were popping up and I wondered if anyone knew what they were doing now? Examples were, David Yu, JL, Preacher, Broccers(although he could have exploded with his own rage) etc.

One thing I've always wondered - of all the long standing members of the EVO forum of old, why they stopped posting once it moved? None of the EVO staffers ever got involved anyway, so bar it being hosted on the EVO site the link was tenuous at best.

I had no idea a free watch was such a big draw.

The other thing I'm occasionally amazed by is that many many moons after some of them stopped posting, my post count has still not exceeded theirs :lol:

See half way down THIS page - which means it’s been rather more than a year since my last contact :?

Edit: that’s pish - I did indeed have an exchange with him last year :ugeek:

He’s got kids and spends his time betwixt Germanyland and Dubai > brought the RS4 over to the former, and now has an M2 in the latter (in addition to the LC, bikes and a share in a boat afaik).

I bumped into Rev last weekend, he happened to drop in a bike track day at Oulton where I was supporting for a mate of mine.

Broccers active on X and Insta, I see him commenting on investment bots and the like.

Preacher is good, as is dboyXR2i, Wolfy666, nebpor, DonFisher, NicDale and HoyleyBoyley.
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

I haven't caught up with David in person for a couple of years, but he's doing fine - he does put the odd bit of content on Youtube -

Ah, good to know, he’s on my Facebook but hasn’t posted anything in years, I know he had cancer a few time so was a bit concerned.

That pleases me greatly Jim - I recall he had some health issues before and did wonder, around the time we lost Coaster, if he's doing OK.

Give him my best. :)
