Other boards often seem to be even more dead, believe it or not. It's as if the multiple sclerotics have spread themselves too thin--too many MS boards out there to choose from, and the result is that most of them are suffering from a lack of participation.
People have discovered Facebook and Twitter and other social media sites and found them more amusing, I guess.
It's hard to carry on much of a discussion on those sites, IMO.
When Sally was here, she was dependably here. She--and others as well--built this place up but after some people drifted away and Sally died, it has been limping along.
I'm glad a few people are still dropping in to participate.
