Forum Empty Now
 
Is it just me and perhaps Professional Princess that seems to think the forum has gone very quiet in recent months? I am wondering if migration from the UK is slowing down resulting in fewer members here. I imagine that a many of the regulars use the forum in the early days following migration or before it, then as they become more settled in their new country find little for them in the forum. Just a thought. I wonder if anyone else has any ideas?

hi ian, yes has gone quiet, lots of people gone accross the pond to start their new lives! lets put it this way, people go to start new lives and the outdoor lifestyle, so i suppose spending hours on a computer dosent fit in with that!

although i shall keep in touch, it certtainly wont be as regularly as i do now!

Hi Ian

I'm still here! :)

I think a lot of us got bored with the internecine wars that were going on :rolleyes: and gave it a bit of a miss for a while.

Hope all's well with you & yours.

Cheers,
Anya.

Well she does say she is an extreme geek :D

Don't worry Ian, it will pick up again, it tends to go in cycles. Give it another few months and it will seem very different again.
