The thing is, are the originators of the group still "going"? Perhaps they've given up?

You see what I said above about threads being posted and getting few if any replies? I posted a thread (Little Boxes) to "prove" the point I was making and as you see, at the moment there's 40 views and one reply. The "cut off" point for the boards being interesting and active was when they were killed re-vamped. Lots of people made critical points but most were ignored so the posters have gone.

I see ebay trying to make a point "We heard your feedback and......." Huh, ebay didn't hear our feedback about the boards did they?
