Well, in my opinion, Fr. Gregory was treated a bit rudely in here, so he may have stepped back because of that. Fr. Raphael is a regular poster at Monachos. I think he was perhaps a bit turned off by the liberality in here. I think he is probably very traditional and likes to stick with serious subjects (he's a ROCOR monk) like theological discussion. We have some of that here, but it's not as heavy as it is in Monachos. I'm only specualting, though. I obviously can't speak for him.:)

There is also Father Ambrose keeping them honest on the Catholic Answers forum. He is a wonderful icon of Orthodoxy. He is Irish, a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church outside of Russia, and his parish is in New Zealand!

Knowing Father Raphael (from the Monachos days), I think you're probably right on that. He's great!

I've heard that some priests kind of frown on some of these forums (as they often get so polemical), so I don't imagine you'll see too many around.
Unfortunately, you find a lot of priests in the more polemical ones (as opposed to nice ones like TAW)... a lot of them. I know because I've been sucked into them. Glad to be out (Monachos is not one of them, any more than CF is... so.. is not outrage!-- jsut over my head ;))
