Yes, the forum has been a bit slow lately, but if you think it's dead, try starting a new and hopefully interesting thread that members can response to. You will be surprised how much the traffic will increase. It's all about participation....so don't wait for someone else to post...get out there and post something yourself. It's fun and as far as I know, no member has even been hurt during the process....and most members don't bite...well there are a few that I wonder about , but for the most part you are safe
