Hi marmutime,  It would indeed be very nice to restore some of the fun and comradeship that was around, but it seems an impossible task -even the combined powers of the dragon members young and old can't halt this decline! Facebook!

Unfortunately it seems that rather than enjoy a little bit of escapism on the forums, most people have moved on, and really do seem to prefer to spend their time reading about reality - everyone elses children / dogs / cats / meals(!) / traffic problems and other earth shattering news.

No, I'm not belittling people sharing things with their friends, but I'm sure that I'm not the only one whose capacity for pet videos and news of who's been stuck in traffic etc, only runs to a few minutes per day.

Anyway, at risk of becoming like the dinosaurs, some dragons still lurk, in case of passing visitors...
