Mick Hazelgrove, Nathan o'Brian, Gena Obukhov, Douglas Eichenberg, Christoph
Bouffartique, JRG, Kari Kivisalo and others (some like Rene Bui, Christoph
Gerber etc. retained some acitivities after 2007...). Others changed software
base (like Gilles Tran and Toni Bratinevic).
A few of the old povers (like Christoph Hormann...) revived their activities
lately (at a low or very specialized level...).

Speaking for myself - it was the disappearance of the old IRTC as a signal.
It wasn't the competition, but the lack of source sharing, which (together with
"real life") led to a sudden drop off of all povray activities within two days
for four years.

... Ken Tyler, Jim Charter, Fabien Mosen, Marc Jacquier... A few names 
that come to my mind.

Real life surely, with the hope for POV-Resurrection one day...

what matters is what is left of you
a trail of footsteps in the sand
that the sea didn't claim from the land
giving the right measure of your soul
