If you have contact information for anybody from the old forum who hasn't registered here yet, please let them know about the new forum.

DLecy, for example.

I contacted Avery, but haven't heard anything, and just let Dlecy know.

I messaged everyone who was on Inaturalist, also I happened to find GacesWarbler on reddit, and he's joined. I got ahold of Blackburnian, but that was when I first found Charlie and we started contacting everyone to come to birdforum. I'll text him about the new forum here.

*raises hand* Present!

Also worth looking into is if any active Whatbird members have an e-mail address, IM handle, social media, or other contact information on their eBird profile.

Good to see you! Yes we've found several people that way, some of the trouble is finding their ebird profiles.
I remembered Dragon49 s name is Mark something... Penkower? Something close to that.

I believe this is his profile. No contact info, though.

There you are!

I found Ruslan B. on the ABA community but I've been unable to work through their messaging system. If anyone else is on ABA, please give him a try.

If you have someone's photos on Macaulay, you can work backward to the checklist and then their profile.
