All the above are valid suggestions, but to add to it, I think that most of the "important matters" have already been discussed to death on all forums.

There is now much less to discuss.

This I think is a combination of factors.

The first is the COVID lockdown aftermath. It killed many small businesses. The most active, multi-discipline shooters were almost all small business owners.

Also evidenced by the selling of personal firearms. People selling their sport guns due to financial need, keeping only the SD.

The second is the cost of componenents due to the ongoing delusion that Russia can be beaten.

We are now paying premium bullet prices for primers. The average person used to be able to afford to reload a couple hundred pistol rounds a month for their favourite pistol sport, but these days the cost of a pistol primer is more than the cost of a loaded round used to be. Not so many people can afford that.

Third, and most importantly, the number of new gun owners is decreasing. In my sons' generation, out of all the kids I know that my sons grew up with, only my one son and one other have firearm licenses. When I was that age, nearly everyone I knew had a license.

Forum activity is driven by new shooters, asking advice for the multitude of hurdles that all new shooters and reloaders have to navigate.

All the ou ballies here have been there, done that, and have a lot of knowledge to share, but there are few to no new shooters to do the asking. And I think that is a common condition in all the online forums in South Africa at least.

its strange to say that when business is busy I am forum busy


Interesting that. I'm exactly the opposite. When I was a consultant billing 16 hour days for months on end I wouldn't open gunsite or any of the other forums for weeks at a time. Now that I'm in sheltered employment i find myself on the things very much more.]]> General Discussion oafpatroll https://systemz.online/general-discussion/inactivity-of-a-internet-site/#post-5315 Re: Inactivity of a internet site. https://systemz.online/general-discussion/inactivity-of-a-internet-site/#post-5314 Thu, 05 Sep 2024 07:37:16 +0000 I also believe the multitude of forums, platforms and activities available makes any of the mentioned more subjective to rationing of time and attention.]]> General Discussion Treeman https://systemz.online/general-discussion/inactivity-of-a-internet-site/#post-5314 Re: Inactivity of a internet site. https://systemz.online/general-discussion/inactivity-of-a-internet-site/#post-5313 Thu, 05 Sep 2024 07:15:20 +0000
From one or two folks, I know that they started spending more time in active shooting matters, or with the family, and less on forums.
