I went through my Explorer links to see what was going on with some of the providers that have retired.  

I still miss Ellyse Taylor's site - I understand she's fine and has retired for at least 6 months...still whish I could see her pictures though ;~) She was definitely my ATF.

I thought Amy Jordan moved back to Seattle, and even got a recent review, but her web page (amy-jordan.com) comes up as non-existent.  Amyjordan.com comes up as someone's thoughts on life, but I don't think it's her.  I spoke with her a few times but we never did meet...and now I guess never will.

And it looks like Chasely Whitney has un-retired and emerged as a jaw-dropping blonde!  Her Chasely.com site no longer tells the story of her life and has lots of flash animation and hot pictures.  I wonder if it's the same person?

There's also the organization Archive.org that has a "Wayback Machine" that can be used to see most of the websites that have ever been created and were up for a while.  This is a good way to sneak a peek at an old favorite that isn't around anymore.  You can also save some of the pictures of providers you may never see again.
