That's pretty sad giving the history of RCU and includes RCG and requires member support in order to thrive, the helpful mentality that was once the norm is a thing of the past almost. Your just as likely to get torn down as you are to get built up. I could go on but I'll let you guys do it. By the way, welcome all you new guys, come right in and see how we play make an airplane.
Maybe most do not enjoy following build threads? They do not have enough drama to them like some of the other ones. I am only interested in build threads of aircraft I am interested in honestly. So while build threads are part of this site, they are only that. I generally am in here seeking answers to questions I have, or maybe learn something new.

HAving been a member of RCU for quite a while, I have noticed a significant drop in activity as well. So build threads as a percentage of the rest of the site are probably down relative to other topics.
