I believe as a whole forums are taking a back seat to the ease of Facebook and it's numerous pages. It's now far easier to reach a much bigger audience of "keyboard mechanics" for advice. I myself am part of various zed pages on Facebook and I must say it's certainly nowhere near as close as a feeling of a community that is a dedicated forum like this. That being said, I know I am guilty of neglecting this forum in recent times but not for any particular reason other than being busy with other commitments.
