Hello? Is anyone still out there?

I've been maintaining this site for over twenty years now and honestly I didn't think anyone was visiting anymore. The hit counter has been broken for ages (or so I thought). But then today I noticed some activity on the server logs and... I couldn't believe it.

Is this place still alive? Or am I just talking to myself?

BOGLORD???

I've been lurking for YEARS. Never thought to post again. But seeing your name just now... lad, I never left. I check in every few months. The site's been a touchstone for me. Thought I was the only one.

Still doing the sessions in Galway. You'd be amazed how many people still know this song.

BogLord. I never stopped coming back. Every year on the day this site launched. Just to read the old threads and remember when we were all so full of hope about the bog.

It's us. We're still here.
