Without quantifying it with numbers, it seems to me like the amount of activity (threads and replies) is way down on the open forum of this site. I'm curious as to what's going on.

Is it that the party has moved elsewhere and I just didn't get an invite?

Is the signal to noise ratio too low (too many internet sailors)?

Have the political threads disuaded those who are only interested in coming here for sailing from participating?

Chris.
