I have noticed too. I have a lot going on right now during the day so I have not been able to "check in" much until the evenings. I used to see at least 2 or 3 pages of threads with new posts and now I only see one or maybe a little more. It is certainly one of the more quiet winters I recall, at least so far. The Holding Tank usually has some good things going on in the off season as well but this year it appears to be winterized.
