Why no traffic there? I am gonna post there and test the waters

Why? Prolly cuz there is no more than a couple dozen of us old farts still here. Lots of bot traffic which Matt wants to stop but not much human traffic. He hopes to increase it but honestly I think the days of forum sites like this are about over.

Everyone wants to do pod casts and not forums. Chats are big too but forums seem a fading memory.

 ..And that would be a tragedy for some of us, many having been contributing here it seems, for over a quarter of a century.

Probably right. Most of us in the ''old boomer'' generation are dying off. And the new generations got a different idea of how to communicate.

Wonder if there are very many that read posts but don't join and conversation? I know there used to be. As you say, just not many of us left that contribute to the forum.

Yeah I'm sure there are a lot more who just read but don't post. We're just a bunch of old dinosaurs who still cling to the type of internet we're comfortable with rather than the stuff the younger crowd does.

I'm a bit older than the boomers and fall into what is called the silent generation. I think Pete is also.
