No doubt the rise of the Facebook fan pages has affected the discussions on forums.
We used to say (somewhat sarcastically) that bigfooty was for kids.
Well a lot of those kids have grown into thirty somethings now and have probably stuck with that forum.
It's funny though...when I looked at our forum just after the glitch we had 11 registered users online but something like 160 guest viewers.
It's currently at 7 registered and 82 guests.
I don't know how accurate the figure is but we may have a few folks who just visit, read and don't post.
I'm not sure how much of the forum is visible to the 'unregistered' at the moment but if we could turn some of those visitors into contributors it might be useful.
Either way, we're an endangered species and we have to find a way of re-inventing ourselves, or we will die out.
