Maybe, but not paying attention. You'd have to ask Evo.

Hard to say. Some are still around, but not as active. Others have moved on with life outside of PF. A few old timers have passed away. :frown:

Not really. It was a natural thing to say. One of thing things you notice most about being old is how weird it feels to be the same age as all those OLD people.
