When I first got my suggies in 2009, this forum was teeming with discussion. Nowadays, both this forum and GliderGossip seem almost like ghost towns but it looks to me like gliders have spread a bit more in the general population. I see more ads for them on Craigs List and it seems there are more licensed breeders. Where did all the people go? <shudder> Facebook?

Facebook took a lot of people away from the forums.

Thanks. I notice some other differences. When I got busy away from the forums, Dr. Brust and ASGV were like lepers since he was associated with the dreaded PP. Now, I see him cited as a major contributor to the Sugar Glider Genetics Project and mentioned by a breeder in Houston. Has his reputation been rehabilitated? Was there a misunderstanding? or are he and ASGV still seen as shills? I notice ASGV's website still looks more or less the same and it seems impossible to find any other vet associated with it. Is it just me or does it seem like suggies are just a little more widespead now?

Paani, you are so right about the change since you joined in 2010. Imagine the changes since I joined  Kim/Feather is correct that the start up of the facebook groups certainly took away from the message boards since so many people were already there anyway.
Pocket Pets - well, we (GliderCENTRAL) still do not recommend purchasing from them unless the research has been done first, but they are still being sold pretty much as they were before in places where they target the impulse buyers. They have, however, made big changes in how they feed their gliders and what they send home with them. Their Glide-R-Gravy is actually Critterlove just marketed under a different name.
As for the ASGV, there are many reputable vets who are members of that association.
Is it just me or does it seem like suggies are just a little more widespead now?
You probably are seeing more licensed breeders who have worked hard over the past decade or a little less to establish a name for themselves and their business.
It's an ever changing word in the glider community, and GliderCENTRAL just tries to be here for those who still need us.
