What happened?
 

I must have missed something. Whatever happened to this formerly thriving and active site?

The "CELEBRITY" thread may be your answer !!

I'm not sure I understand your comment capt.cynical?

Internet Brands. Advertising dollars/revenues are more important than content.

I wonder the same...what happened to this place...looks very empty :-/

As an always interested non pilot one of the draws of this site was to listen to the to and fro on the Pilots forum which has now been closed to non pilots.
I am sure there were good reasons to do this from the professional side but in fairness I am sure it has reduced the traffic to the site.
