I went and looked at that thread, Howard, and here's what I know:

The following people participated in the discussion:
Faux Pas, Travholt, Sosiqui, Maryam, julian, Howard, Grishny, and wintermute.

Faux Pas moved to Arizona. He started a webcomic that is now defunct. In recent years he and his wife had a baby girl, he went back to school, and has done a lot of illustration work and RPG game development. I know all this from reading his frequent posts on LiveJournal.

Travholt traveled to the U.S. from his native Norway for RU4 in 2003. My wife and I picked him up from the Columbus airport. Afterwards he went home a changed man, and everybody there knew what his least favorite word was, but I've since forgotten it. Not sure what he's up to these days.

Sosiqui loves loves loves all things anime. She also loves playing on-line games like Uru and possibly WoW. She was also into sniffing mail-order perfume samples for a while, or something like that. I know all this from her LiveJournal postings.

Maryam is still a chat room regular here, although she doesn't seem to post to the forum as often as she used to, but then not many of us do. She lived in Baltimore, MD until recently, and my family and I got together with her there once in the spring of 2006. She has since moved to Florida and has also gone back to school, if I remember correctly.

I barely remember julian, and know nothing of his doings over the last six years.

Howard still carries the RinkForum torch, posting and double-posting as frequently as he can come up with new (and sometimes not-so-new) material. He still lives in Tennessee, in or near Murfreesboro, I think. He still collects scooters, spare parts, and de-liars, and a couple years ago he mailed me some keychains for my collection that he found in his workshop.

Grishny is me. Since October 9, 2001, I've changed jobs (twice), cars, houses, towns and even states. I also had another kid, who is now three years old. I currently live in York, Pennsylvania but work in Joppa, Maryland.

wintermute emigrated to the United States from his native England to get married to fellow Rinky famous. They live in Ohio and have a little baby girl who is quickly approaching her first birthday. wintermute seems to have adjusted very well to life in the States. My wife and I are occasionally able to visit them during our yearly trips back to Ohio to see my family. The last time was in November of last year, and we had dinner at Frisch's Big Boy, where I couldn't for the life of me decide what I wanted to eat.
