Vocalion78, wich I’ve been following for a while – doesn’t seem to be active anymore…
Looks like you’re right @jerome. Appears that Vocalion78 is no longer active. We’ll update the post when we’ve found an alternative or can you suggest one?
Sadly no, I don’t have any social network account, so I just visit what other people point me out….
