Hey Pattoncommander. Hopefully you were being sarcastic about getting out. I always found your input most helpful.

I don't find the website too onerous. It does take some time to view pic's now. Used to be a lot quicker for me. I think the reason for the downturn may be deeper than the website. I can only speak for myself but the hobby has become a little stagnant for me. I remember 2-3 years ago when the membership would wait with baited breath for each new tank release. I remember when the PIII came out there were numerous multipage threads from people that were really excited. Unboxing threads, upgrade threads, excitement. Now new releases get little attention where they would have gotten much more previously. It seems like the possibilities in the hobby are greater than ever now. I can not explain why I am not interested. Perhaps others feel the same.

Beyond that there are some forum personalities that are not really here to help as demonstrated earlier in the thread. After enough of that I quit posting as i used to. Not a boy scout here and I have had my moments as well but, just sayin...
