Well some of us are still around, fallen eagle
I think quite a lot of people register on the forums, post a lot while it's still a bit of a novelty, then gradually read and post less. When this forum was new everyone was really enthusiastic about its existence; now it's just normal and always there and they have other things to do. They're probably still here though.
On your other point, I've been reading and observing and hoping that the flaming and slagging off so common on other forums isn't going to spread to this one; we had remained free of it for a while. I bet someone will respond that it's occasionally necessary. maybe, but only OCCASIONALLY.
But some of us are PPRuNe addicts and we'll probably stick around whatever happens.
