I think bit by bit we started losing people 2 fb etc & then since April we've lost more. It's definitely quieter/slower round here. A lot of folks I used 2 see on PM&M haven't posted since April too. Whole heap of noobs tho. Some are very cool, some are....12?! At least I hope their 12! rolleyes lol

I think April 21st has something to do with it.
I've also noticed on some FB Prince fan groups that conversations have dropped off extremely.
I wonder if it is just a lull after the loss.
You talk talk talk talk so much about it and then just need to be quiet alone silent for a while.

lol Welcome! You must be one of the cool ones wink I know, I felt the same when I joined. You'll be fine. See, not everyone has common sense like that, they just jump in the middle of a room (where people have years long relationships) & start stomping on toes.

I think on the flip side, some of us Old Timers have also come back "home" in lieu of recent events, even if not on the daily, we're just kind of quiet. I think we're maybe also even checking out some of the other forums, too. Heck, I even ventured into the PM&M forum in recent weeks, which I've been pretty steadfast in avoiding for the 10 years or so I've been a member here lol

I think we made a mistake when we temporarily closed most forums in April without way conspicuous notice the change was only partial and temporary. Several orgers said that upon unsuccessfully trying to access one of the closed forums, they simply assumed the entire site was closing down. I assume many have returned, but some won't.

That aside, the place has seen decreasing activity over the years, and certainly other social media channels have something to do with it. Maybe we need a fun project to stir the spirit in here. hmmm

For me personally life got in the way.....

I mostly window shop through the threads on GD

Prince used to draw me in because he was always so interesting and I loved seeing what he was up to.... The org was always the best way to keep up with my hero....

Now it's way too sad 😢

Plus the mods removed some privledged because..... Oh well nevermind neutral
