3) Results of an informal poll since 1/1/14, on reasons why site members no longer contribute to this forum: conversations uninteresting; topics mediocre; an unwelcoming clique atmosphere; and frequent insensitivity to the feelings of others.

Recess from this forum continues until late March. Best to each of you and your families during each day of 2014. -Bob

from the recent 100 threads (all of which received posts in the running month) we do have
1 with more than 10.000 posts
4 between 1000 and 9999
7 between 100 and 999
So did the activity go up all in all?
Did the quality of the forum increase?
did people enjoy themselves more?
