Howlin ran off to one of the numerous "anti-FR" boards, "wideawakes." I don't recall the subject of the April '07 purge, but that's when she left.

I have no idea what happened to MiaT. I think she just left as her "art" got more criticism than praise, and no sense in antagonizing a community. I use a text-only browser when reading and participating on FR, so wasn't bothered by the bandwidth demand (bandwidth much more an issue in those days), and also wasn't exposed to a good chuck of MiaT's creativity.

She was a nasty, rough one. She was hard to take at times, but she was usually right on the facts.

Thanks for the info.
