it would regularly reach 4/5/6 pages long and now if it hits three, it’s been a busy week

Yeah, it’s not that long thread any more. Partially I blame myself but only to a small degree since I’ve got not much to contribute currently (not doing any significant amount of hobby etc). And yes, the discord drained some of the discussion but it is not only this forum that is slowly bleeding to death. If I look at the statistics of our local club forum: 2006 673 new topics, 6888 posts. 2016 191 new topics, 1297 posts. 2020 27 new topics, 222 posts. If that isn’t a steep decline then I don’t know what is…

Personally I feel Facebook is more to blame. It’s all to easy for every John, Dick and Harry to create a new group and have “their own forum” with their own little bubble. That being said: I’m guessing forums might have a second life when facepage groups get all too cluttered and manufacturers start going back to “curate your own communities”

Anyhow, I need to prepare dinner and the uHH 😉
