Oh Gosh. I have been away from these forums for far too many years. I really miss the early days when so many participated. Now that I am employed fulltime I have started looking again. Would love to see the forums stay live but understand the issue of money. As already stated, the forums are invaluable for those that are visiting lighthouses or trying to collect them. Hope that it can be worked out. Love seeing these names from the past. You all helped me so much in my collection of lighthouses. I don't do Facebook so that avenue won't work for me.
