    What happened to Windrivers?

    Um,.. I've probably only posted here a handful of times in the last year or so and I really don't mean to complain or flame or anything else but I have to say -- where'd everyone go? There used to literally be hundreds of new posts here daily. In the last 24 hours or so, there have literally only been a handful of posts. Wussup wit dat?

    Yup.

    Sometimes I just browse through the new posts because I simply don't have the time to soft through 3-4 pages of them.

    no flaming intended but i think this place is slowly dying of old age or something you don`t see that may thechies these days but often people who ask what a driver is and why their pc complains about a missing drivers,most of the old timer you don`t see anymore,though there is still some pretty good techs,but i feel kind of sad to see it go

    The problem is not limited to this forum. Other forums are slow as well. The "other" place seems dead, too.

    Part of the problem is the strength of the economy. Too much work. Too busy to post.

    There may be another issue here as well. The only really active forum I participate in is the Ubuntu community forum. Interesting.... It is very active. I have to use the search feature to find my threads when I come back only a few hours later -- often there are five or six pages of new posts since mine.

    It comes and it goes is about it really.
    Also there are a lot of other places these days to gleam help and information.
    Way back when, this was one of the few places to get that.

    It looks like it may have been hacked a second time. The home page message has changed from "we are working on it" to something about stopping war again.
