I could see some people turning to Facebook and Twitter instead of sticking around here. It's just been interesting to watch the board change over the years. And I couldn't agree more - the information here is outstanding.
> yes, this board's outline on how it works is still from the 1990's, but yes the amount of information that was written here, it's linked to google, whatever you write here on these boards they go to google, for alot....of people to see

> think babble started declining i think in 2009, because social media became a mainstream way of information, this board is old technology and it was mainly popular in the 2000s, posting boards, the boards of the 2000s and late 90s

> yes, big decrease in activity, never see the deputies like they used to be, and the electricity kind went down, but we're still here so.....main posters is what you see on most boards, sls, alex, lamdage, linkage, me, sigi, beckett, roslynn, petermartian, ed uk, hugh, blueberry, mogger, phillipa, kondrian..... all posters more than that, but compared to the huge response rate in the 2000s, yes it's declined
