Good to see you back!
Yeah, Ellis hasn't said anything outright, but I think he's done with Strangeways for the indefinite future, seeing how he has his hands full with university and The Bumblebees. I myself haven't heard much from him in a bit over a year. I've more or less been keeping things running, with the site actually running on an old computer in my condo.
I've seen a couple of new people post occasionally, and Helen and Pashy are the two regulars that post occasionally, but the site's been pretty quiet for a good year. The big news is that Pashy is getting married next June; I'll be taking a road trip out to California next summer to attend.
As for me I'm doing okay. I had a rather crappy last year due to confronting some skeletons of my past, but this year's looking a bit better.
