Was just skimming this thread and it gives me the opportunity to ask about something I've been noticing ever since I joined here.  I took some of my inspiration from Michael Barnett's "Superheroes" documentary which features many of the 20 colorful characters pictured at the top of the page on this site, some of whom are listed as members.  I was looking forward to corresponding with them when I joined.  But where are they?  (Plus I really admired Mr. Xtreme in the film and he's not even in the picture.)  I hope most of those guys (and gals) are still out there doing their thing.

I do like that amongst the core group that seems most active here on this forum there is for the most part respect, and never have I seen anyone make fun of someone else's RLSH name.  I think that should be a rule.  If an RLSH wants to call himself Mr. Goofy or God's Gift to Women or whatever, I say welcome aboard.  After all, one of the earliest of us was called Captain Sticky.

i think alot are still out there. . .and doing there thing. . .and we do check in from time to time. . .

I've been looking over the site and pouring over the web and most of the stuff is old.  Most of the members here haven't been on in over a year, websites are closed down, support groups have withdrawn support.  Who is left out there, why did so many drop out?  Where is the RLSH movement?  Are we it?

What happened:

Tothian.
Phoenix Jones.
Bee Sting.

No wonder the movement imploded into itself. From a certain perspective, it's over.

It is unfortunate that those who gain celebrity status represent us all, seeing as they typically rise to fame through notoriety.

Enlightening read, this thread.  It helps to clarify some things, together with the links and archived material, that have been a little confusing.  I wondered where some of the 'older' heroes had gone.  Hard to keep up with fly by nights and wannabes.  But hopefully the movement still has legs, and longevity.

Hopefully so... It is definitely being tested, right now.

Still just doing our thing I’m sure

Even Phoenix Jones disbanded his group and started again with more stringent fitness entrance requirements. He said some of his guys were carrying knives, smoke grenades...
