a sign of the times...

I think there are lots of reasons for this... a combination of all of the above answers... but mostly.. it's about the lack of fish... some wont admit it but IMHO.. the down turn in the stock has played a part in it... for me.. I still use a flip phone and will until they are extinct...so the mobile "wave" doesn't factor in...it's the negativity that keeps me away from web sites...and I'm quite certain I'm not the only one that feels that way...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

i agree with this and pretty much everything else that was said.

I check the site daily, or multiple times a day if the restaurant is slow. i dont post that much anymore, as the discussion type threads this year are fewer, which i think is from people searching the site and the lack of new people getting into surfcasting/striper fishing, low fish stocks equals low interest.

havent done much salt this year and the few times i did go, caught fish and enjoyed myself and basically kept quiet about it.

this site wont die off, too many sub forums that people use, the CSA, the cuttyhunk forums, poltical etc.

theres so many great people on this site and people willing to help each other in every facet its truly amazing

plus with all the new changes coming down the road, plugfest, too cold to fish, kids days, this site is a meeting place/calendar of events that are going on.

plus all the fishing management updates and everything else.
