Don't know if its the continuing decline in the antiques market, the lack of new blood, the antiquated software that runs the site or what, but this seems like a long-time trend. The past year or two has been pretty dead around here.

What happened to Greenacres, Fancypants, Rauville, and a bunch of others? They were all steady contributors, now they stop by once or twice a year. I get it; life gets in the way. But still, if it weren't for a small handful of folks, these days our site would just die on the vine.

I already saw it happen on a once-active Victorian site. It would go weeks without a new post. I tried to reinvigorate it by myself, but except for Jacon and I there was simply nobody there. I haven't even tried to find it for several years; I imagine that its gone by now.

I'd hate to see that happen here.

I'm still here, even though I haven't felt the need to post anything for the past few weeks. Yes, life gets in the way, including a death in the family and a never ending Winter (we received 25" of snow last week :o). I'll try to be more alert to responding with a comment now and then.
