I think the very same thing every now and again. I find the forum moves forward and is a great place to read then it will die down and take a step back for a while, then it will pick up again and so on.
The forum (Private Flying) is far busier than it has been for some time now. We regularly get over 100 users at any one time, except of course the middle of the night when it is quiet in the UK but it is still growing as we speak. I have been impressed with the amount of traffic we have been seeing recently.
As for quality of posts, there is very little I can do about that! Can't wade in and delete the crap just on a whim in case it is a genuine question, these tend to get the right answer then go off on one shortly after. I would be here all day deleting posts if that was the case so I will leave them, unless of course the thread really has gone down hill then I will close it.
Are FA and I alone and if not what is to be done about the malaise?
Very good question. I just think it will pick up again soon. Watch when the summer flying really kicks in when everyone is out and about, the forum will be busy then, good spells of flying weather tend to have that effect.
