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.
