Its not exclusive to forums, there seems to be quite a bit less chatter on Facebook over the past 6 months or so as well.

This.

This forum was always sort of a refugee camp for VS victims anyway. There was the initial wave of OG peeps. Then there was the other wave that came through from CF. That's when things got real busy. I wasn't a big fan of some of those peeps, too cliquey.

Its weird to go through real old stickey threads and see old names like Neebs and some of those real old peeps that haven't been around in awhile....

Only have a limited amount of time and have been spending it on a gun forum and a bowhunting forum. Haven't been riding much, lately and I'm not sure why. I pop in from time to time to read some stuff, but not posting much.

Noticed this as well

I asked my HS sophomore son what kids were doing now. He said FB was lame and he just txt'ed mostly. Sometimes tweet.

So I guess MOST social media has run it's course?

Kind of sad. I use to really enjoy conversations with folks across the country that shared a different perspective. That is...back when you USE to be able to communicate without tearing each other down for HAVING a different opinion

I noticed FB has slowed down a bit too, same with the forums. I liked the forums since you could at least meet new people and have interactions with them as opposed to FB where you prety much know everyone to begin with.
