Seems like there's a core group that posts a lot, and not that many
new folks; kind of what things were like in the late 70s before the moratorium
when there were only trophy fish and no schoolies. I have been an occasional
poster the last 10 years, but I have tried to stick to fishing and not other stuff
(I don't think anyone here gives a s--- whether I'm going to my cousins wedding
or not this weekend).

I think Facebook has a lot to do with it. I personally have avoided being on Facebook,
mostly because I believe it's bad policy to put personal information on the Internet,
where anyone can get it and use it. It's clear the site has slipped some, but I don't
think it's in danger of going extinct, like Surfcaster did a couple of years ago. Still,
some new posters would be nice. I note that Reel-time is going downhill too; hardly
any freshwater poster over there any more.
Probably going to be less folks here in the future though; too bad.
