Lots going on at BRS in terms of future airport development and new routes come along regularly. It's over 8 mppa and projecting 10 mppa by 2021 but none of this guarantees a vibrant thread on PPRuNe.
I've learned a lot about SOU from PPRuNe with its complement of regular, knowledgeable posters, with healthy debate at times too.
You are very right. BRS and EMA are busy airports but don't generate much energy on pprune, however Blackpool and Manston, both closed to commercial traffic are still kicked on here once in a while to see if they are still breathing!!
